    Preppers know this.

    As an aside, no to helping locals who made fun of prepping. Let them starve to death.

    Meat preserved in mason jars has a life span of 1-2 years, whereas canned spam will last up to 5 years. Therefore if you are making spam as a contingency, you are going to have to consume an awful lot of it every other year.

    Sorry, but "squirrel in the corn popper" just sounds so much like one of those obscure sex things.

    I'm confused. I responded originally to CB's comment about making spam for SHTF scenarios and noted that it has to be preserved. You said that preppers know this. My next comment was regarding the fact that this means it has to be put in mason jars, unless you happen to own a cannery. Preserved meat in mason jars has a much shorter life span than canned preserved meat, so unless you want to have to eat a lot of spam every other year, the stuff in the cans might be a better bet. I don't see how this wasn't responding to what you posted other than the fact that I did not address your comment regarding locals who make fun of preppers.
