[I’ve been think about trying this:

You could re-hydrate it by mixing it with honey and YUM YUM!!!

What is the storage life of distilled honey? I would imagine quite a LOT.

Another thing I recently bought for food storage is Corn Syrup, the muchly maligned corn syrup, a bottle of that in a backpack would give you enough energy to hike a very long ways. Use the dark corn syrup as it has extra nutrients in it.

Get this to go in a backpack.

and this for home storage

Energy density is vital if you need to travel any distance on foot after SHTF...

Plus you can barter a cup of syrup for other goods and it can always be distilled later for alcohol. (still not included)

I grew up on Dark Karo!! I don’t like the maple favored water stuff most people eat near as well.

Well I ordered a can. So I will report on the results after I give it a try.

“If it is stored in a tightly sealed container, honey can literally last a lifetime, and probably even your children’s lifetimes, too. There are even accounts of 2000+ year old honey found in tombs that is still edible.”

Karo syrup is a must have for pecan pie!

Karo syrup can't be found here except at the holidays. Crazy, huh. I used to be able to get it year round but that's changed in the past 5 or so years. Seasonal availability is something to consider when trying to stock up.

Sorghum syrup isn't sold anywhere around here anymore. I searched for two years with no luck. While it has a stronger flavor, it can be substituted for molasses and spoon per spoon you use less. Sorghum and molasses will last for years. Growing stevia is another option for a sweetener.
