Thanks rolandh, I went to T-Mobile and spent $10 to have my phone number port out in 5 minutes. One suggestion given your short timeline before your trip. You could port your number to a number-parking service such as RingTo, then forward your number from RingTo to your Cricket phone.
How Long Does Dehydrated Food Last. In most cases, dehydrated food can be stored for up to a year. Once dehydrated, the food does not take up a lot of space, and can be stored in a more organized fashion. Fruits and vegetables can last for up to 1 year, if properly stored. Dried meats should be consumed within 2-3 months.
Store the buckets at a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit to keep the rice and beans for up to 10 years. Store the food at or below 40 F for storage up to 30 years. Rice maintains all of its nutrients and flavor for 30 years; beans lose some of their nutrients and flavor in 30 years but are still acceptable as an emergency food source.
