Survival "Eats..."

[sdmc530]

Sorry I get mine through work through a government contract so I don’t know a sources that is good for you actually. I pay something like $80 per case so that is about $7 per meal or so. Some are more. I have seen the pm on lots of online places like amazon and such. But just watch dates of mfg. cheap one have old dates. We ate one that was 7 years old and it was fine, no worse than a newer one. They are not great tasting but have over 1000 calories per so it’s a good source of fuel.

Yeah with my wife’s bigger house it’s nice to squirrel stuff there and not be in the way. The water is not stored in the rafters for a various of reasons but the foods are. Sorry if I gave that impression. That is not the case.

I doubt I currently have 3 months either, if I do the quick math it’s probably maybe 5-6 weeks for the 3 of us actually. I am assuming 4 mre for the 3 of us per day in a emergency situation.

Has pretty decent reviews from what I have seen.

Has a longer shelf life than MREs.

Much appreciated... but they appear to be on the "pricey" side... I'm looking for something a little less expensive.

Boy donut cop you would have never made it in the military when I was in NAM which was the 70s and our crations were from WWII. In little tin cams, IMHO some day you might have to eat those out dated MREs .

Dried beans are cheap, stay good almost forever, and have pretty good survival nutrition.

Once you put away some conventional food, spend effort learning how and what to forage in the wilderness. I'm only a novice forager, but I'm absolutely amazed at how much free food is out there that nobody recognizes anymore.

You know there is good advice for sure. I too need to read up on the forage skill myself.
