I've been doing some research on shelf lives and those last three SAY they are good for several years but the actual useable life is a LOT longer -we're talking 15 years or more. Regardless we do plan on rotating them out as we use them in our regular cooking (unlike many, I do not find SPAM that distasteful!).
I'm also bought several buckets of white rice that Walmart started carrying. I looked at the expiration date and it actually said 2030!
THIS is just our long term emergency preps. My wife is in charge of the pantry where shelf life isn't AS big of a deal and we just rotate through things with the idea of having 2-4 weeks worth of food at any given time.
Water is the thing that concerns me. Living in the desert there isn't that many ways to gather it should the electricity quit and the utility water pumps stop working. I have over a dozen cases of bottled water that we rotate through and I'm adding a rain catchment system to our roof -hopefully soon. With enough notice, I have several large containers that I can and will fill up to give us a 100+ gallons of emergency storage, along with a nice water filter that I could stick into any rancid swimming pool and get potable water out of.

"Canning" your own meat has a very long shelf life and nothing is added. Keeping food in a vacuum gives is a long shelf life in and of itself. But I'd rather eat food I canned than something processed... although keep processed food isn't a bad thing to do either.

People have put food up for most of history. The Bible uses the example of the ant who puts up food as a demonstration of a prudent person.
It is only in the last generation or two that a lifestyle that doesn't look beyond our next trip to the grocery store has become "vogue". For the vast majority of the history of mankind we have put up food and planned ahead. I think we have removed ourselves from the wisdom of a life that doesn't solely depend on the assumption that our economy will always be there... there will be no droughts... there will be no disruption of the "food" supply that we find at our corner grocer. To live without putting food aside is living with these assumptions on a daily basis.

Re: What Food Prepping Have You Done?
We keep rice in buckets with Gamma lids. We powder our own eggs from our own chickens. We can our vegetables from our garden. Last year we put up 106 quarts of tomatoes. And... we don't do enough.
I am pleased that so many are living a lifestyle that looks to the future.

What about Sodium? All canned goods have extra sodium from what I have seen
How do you can your own stuff?

It's impossible for me to do that. I don't own farm land

What he said.
Although to be a bit more detailed, I see a hard economic collapse coming sometime soon -"soon" being anytime ranging from the next few months to 10 years, although probably much closer to the sooner part.
