In an emergency, a supply of freeze dried food can be extremely useful. Freeze dried food is lightweight, compact, and lasts for months and even years without spoiling, making it the perfect survival food. Any go bag should have at least a week’s supply of freeze dried food in it, and any serious homesteader should have enough freeze dried food to last for up to a month in the event of natural disasters or other emergencies. Freeze dried fruit and meat isn't just useful in an emergency, however: it’s also surprisingly good for your health.
