How long should one trust home dehydrated food?
Background.
Put out food drops for an AAWT for November 2018. Mix of home dehydrated (lentils and meat dishes), commercial freeze-dried and standard dry groceries. Had to abandon due to bad blistering on walk partners feet.
Started again in late 2019 solo. Bushfires put an end to that. Intention was to be walking now. Covid and track park closures put an end to that.
So I have food drops out for all except Kiandra (burnt). Some contents have been in the drums since mid 2018. What can I trust assuming walking is possible in late 2020?
BTW, only two items survived the Kiandra fire... a bottle of ginger beer and a gas canister. I am impressed by the sturdiness of the gas cannister. Haven't drunk the ginger beer yet.
