OK S.F., This is the first of probably several questions I need a little help on or will need just a confirmation on just to make sure sure I have my facts straight.
Nothing 2012 really related, but I made my mind up that 2012 my family would kick it in high gear. This question is about Tuna. I remember seeing somewhere that Vac. Sealed Tuna is not good for longer storage and that canned Tuna should be stored instead. I can't remember where I seen it but I would like to double check here with " yous guys " on this. Does Vac. Sealed Tuna not Store as good as canned Tuna or is Vac. Sealed Tuna GTG for short term preps? |

hmmmmm. I know that canned products, using metal, are rodent proof, withstand some rougher handling, and are not oxygen ( or other gases) permiable.
My concern with the plastic envelopes are rodents or other pests, packag damage and gas permeability. I don't know how well these packages hold up over extended timeframes. |
SF or not, this is still Arfcom... get both. 
Seriously, I've got both cans and pouches. Can't go rooting around in the preps at the moment, but if I remember correctly the expiration dates on the pouches were surprisingly far out there, comparable to (if not better than) those on the cans. |

Even though folks say there is very little chance, I'd like to see what a geiger counter does with a new can of tuna. Vac sealed tuna can have a place in preps though; GHB for one. I'm lost. What does the geiger counter have to do with Tuna? Are we talking radioactive tuna cans? |

I keep plenty of pouches and store them in a few old coolers to protect them from bugs or rodents. I have ate some that were 2 or 3 years past the date printed and they were fine.
I also keep plenty of canned tuna because it is cheaper thus I can buy more. Plus canned tuna in oil makes a good candle that you can eat after the oil is burnt up.

I'm just wondering how long it's going to take for Fukashima radiation to make it into our food supply. |
