Spice Up Survival: DIY Seasoning Mixes for Preppers | Episode 359

When planning for long-term survival, most people think about stockpiling food, water, and essential supplies. But have you considered how you’ll keep your meals from becoming bland and boring? Spices and seasonings are a game-changer, transforming simple survival foods into delicious, comforting meals. In this episode of the Survivalpunk Podcast, we dive into making your own spice mixes to enhance your survival pantry.

Why Make Your Own Spice Mixes?
  • Long Shelf Life – Dried herbs and spices last for years when stored properly.
  • Customizable – Adjust flavors to suit your taste and dietary needs.
  • Cost-Effective – Buying in bulk and mixing your own is cheaper than pre-made blends.
  • Compact & Lightweight – Takes up little storage space but adds massive flavor.

    • Here are five must-have spice mixes for your survival kitchen:

              • How to Store Your Spice Mixes

              To extend the shelf life of your homemade spice blends:

              • Use airtight containers – Glass jars with tight lids work best.
              • Keep away from heat and light – Store in a cool, dark place.
              • Label everything – Write down the ingredients and date of mixing.
                • Final Thoughts

                Food is more than just fuel—it’s comfort, morale, and even motivation during tough times. Having these spice mixes on hand ensures that even the most basic meals can be enjoyable. Whether you’re prepping for an uncertain future or just want to enhance your everyday cooking, making your own seasonings is an easy and rewarding skill.
