If that's the case still edible in a pinch, cook the shit out of them?
You'd probably be okay, but generally exposing yourself to unnecessary disease is an avoid wherever you can in a prepper situation. I'd stick to rice if you had it.

My dad always told us we only got one match to start the camp fire. My go to was always dry pine needles as kindling but as an adult I learned to find fat wood which is pretty awesome if you can get it. Pine needles are still the shit but a chunk or two of fat wood can get you over the hump when the regular shit isn't working so well. I have meant to get better using flint and steel. I've gotten fires going with them but you really need some nice, dry kindling to get that to work. I bought a can of magnesium shavings as a cheat. Much easier than trying to shave it off those little square fire starters.



If you have styrofoam, you don't need diesel. I burned a few large chunks of styrofoam that my new TV came packed in out in my burning barrel and basically caused a minor ecological disaster. I had flames coming 10 feet out of the burning barrel and the cloud of black smoke practically made my house disappear even though I was only 50 yards away from it. It was pretty impressive. My neighbor drove by and I'm kind of surprised he didn't call the fire department.

Mixed with diesel you can throw it, shoot it, or other things since it's basically napalm and it sticks to whatever it hits, just like it does with people.
