If you’re preparing for a long-term disaster, you just hit the jackpot! In this post, we list pretty much every survival food a prepper could possibly need. Below, you’ll find multiple tables for all sorts of survival foods including canned foods, powdered foods, freeze-dried foods, dehydrated foods, and more.

Of course, no one expects you to purchase every food listed below. The purpose of this post is to show you your options. Take the time to examine each table and decide which foods your family will need during a long-term crisis when store shelves are sparse or where grocery stores are closed altogether.

Right now, most of these foods are still available in stores, but for some of the more unusual foods, we included a link so you can purchase it online.

Please note that the shelf life and calories per pound are approximate. It all depends on where and how you store the foods, and what particular brand of food you purchase. Also, the storage type is either the most common or most recommended type.

If you want to know how to store these foods, check out this guide. Now, without further ado, here’s our ultimate list of survival foods for preppers.
