Winter Emergency Foods

We prepare for emergencies that can effect us.  Winter emergencies can be anything from a car breaking down to a long power outage.  When you stock up your supplies they are put away and you usually don't think about them again until an emergency strikes.  A great idea is to at the beginning of the season before the weather changes, check your supply stash and make sure everything is still in date.  If you're storing supplies in your car how long does that water last?  How long do canned goods REALLY last?  What else can you have besides just canned beans and veggies??  Here is a list of great things and their shelf lives to add to your emergency pack!
