Tip #23: Don't Be Afraid To Experiment
The danger of a disaster happening in the very near future is substantially less than the danger of it occurring over the following years. This means you will go through a number of rotations of your short-term pantry while your longer-term food store will remain much more constant. Take this opportunity to experiment with various food types and methods of preservation and storage. By trying out a range of food types you will see what creates the best meals and this knowledge can be used to continually fine-tune your pantry. Always make sure that your pantry is something you use and interact with, rather than something that is kept behind a door and forgotten about.
