Keep them sealed and at consistent temp and you’re good. I use them for camping/hiking. In a pinch they’re not horrible. Mountain House is prob the best of the freeze dried but it’s the most expensive. Add a cup or two of boiling water to a pouch let sit for 10 mins and you’re good to go. Walmart sells pouches in camping section. Pretty much any place that sells camping supplies has them, *****, cabelas, runnings… Augason farms is prob second best. They can be inconsistent. Ex used to use their freeze dried strawberries for stuff. They used to always be a nice read and very flavorful but since pandemic they’ve been brown and little to no flavor. They sell #10 cans full of a lot of stuff. Problem with them is a months worth of stuff will be in 4 packages so you have to open them up and also have things to cook it in. Their product shelf life is all over the place too. Also their packaging can open and ruin the product. But when everything is right they’re not bad. Walmart will sometimes have them. Ready Wise seems to be the best for getting a variety of nutrition but their portion sizes are tiny and like augason they’ll put everything in a couple pouches with no way to measure anything so you’ll need to bring more stuff. Cabelas carry’s them I think 4patriots is newer. I’ve never used them but friend has. He said it was similar to augason and ready wise. Everything in a few bags and nothing to measure. Pretty sure you have to order online Dried rice and beans. Get Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers vacuum seal them with food storage machine and they’re good for 10ish years. Beans may get chewy after a while Spam. Lots of calories. Get less sodium one. Theres been some opened years(maybe decade) after expiration date and was still good. canned food and rotate it. Get what you eat. bottled water. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We buy 50 lbs of rice and flour at a time. We stock up on soups, tomato paste, beans, etc. We also stock up on paper products. We also have been known to buy a 1/4 cow and 1/2 pig. You'll love Costco, when it comes to Amherst, next year. Never saw a 1/4 cow, or half pig there, but they sell all the pieces. We lived in Seattle for 20 years, and Costco is huge there. Matter of fact, they used to have a lot of Seahawks stuff, in season. So, maybe the Amherst store will have a selection of BILLS gear too? Great place to stock up for tailgating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one ran out of food in the height of pandemic panic. They certainly aren’t now. Fear is the mind killer. The bizarre obsession some people have in this country with post apocalyptic war zone survival is really strange. It makes for cool movies, but that's fiction. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what you eat. bottled water. Good advice. I'd add https://www.legacyfoodstorage.com/ to the freeze dried list, but Mountain House is the Cadillac. I also like to have a few Military MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) on hand I lived without power for a week after a hurricane rolled through. Dad lived without power for a week after that surprise October snowstorm. Having a large pantry and a few emergency supplies is always a wise investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get suckling pigs cleaned and ready to go at a couple of places around here. A supply of a good daily vitamin seems like it will fill in the gaps of nutrition. We take one everyday anyways.

An apple in its mouth is always a hit at the party or next luau! 😉 I wouldn't even know where to begin, driven in. I'd have to ask for advice!

They would be difficult to cook there because the fire would keep going out, with the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
