Why not just throw some bags of nuts in the freezer?

Why not throw nuts in the freezer? Or more generally items that after a no-power defrost will revert to a normal shelf life, which for nuts is long enough to survive most scenarios.
Yes its not nutritionally complete, but it is tasty and easy. You have to use freezer space but dont have to prep it for storage or cook when using.

Like you said, freezer space. You can store nuts at room temperature and rotate through them before they go bad (eat what you store, store what you eat). Then that space is free for food that need to be cold.

Vacuum sealing them would extend the range a fair bit as well, also not taking up freezer space.

That have fats so can go rancid

My freezer is already packed with meat and frozen veggies anyway. Nuts keep fine in pantry for months if you store them right, so why waste the space? Plus if power goes out for long time, you lose everything in freezer but pantry stuff stays good.

Your submission has been removed because it is not focused on the topic of prepping. As a general rule, if you have to engage in a lengthy explanation to justify why something is prepping-related... it probably isn't.
That said, you may reference products, news, current events, or politics as a way to lead into a discussion of prepping, but the main focus of the post or comment should always be on prepping.
Posts referencing politics should be framed in a neutral manner, should not include partisan language, insults, or insinuations. For example alarmist posts about "Prepping for Project 2025" are not permitted. For more specifics on politics, please see this post: (https://www.reddit.com/r/preppers/comments/1apw7wx/policy_regarding_politics_2024)
When asking about or discussing products, simply asking "what is the best..." or ask about generic features or capabilities is not appropriate here. If you are looking for information on a product's features or capabilities, you should post those questions to subreddits dedicated to those products.
While firearms and other weapons have a place in prepping and prepping discussions, r/preppers is not a self-defense, firearms, or tactical gear subreddit. This is not the best place to ask which caliber, which gun, which scope, etc. Specific questions relating to these topics should be posted in subreddits dedicated to those topics.

If you freeze it to kill pests and take it back out again it's worth the space. I do this with flour and rice which can have eggs and weevils in it but after a week I take it back out again.

Do you have nuts in your freezer already?
Why not?
