where can i order online a good quality 4 person 72 hr emergency food supply?
Read the menus and ingredients. The DoD has watered down the contract so much that MREs can be mostly sugar and still meet specs. The kosher and halal versions usually have less crap and better ingredients though you miss out on those tasty pork rib meat patties in bbq sauce.Amazon MREs. You should be able to them for ~$8 per 1.3k calorie meal shipped. Make sure you get genuine military.
good to know. how are mre's compared to this: https://www.amazon.com/Augason-Farms-Variety-Breakfast-Emergency/dp/B00FD8N3X0/ref=zg_bs_14329811_48Brainhulk, check the longevity of whatever you buy for the temperature range in which you will store the food.
See this page for MRE shelf life info.
There's no guarantee that 72 hours will get you through a real emergency. A good asteroid strike will be a lot longer and a zombie apocalypse could be forever. Stock up on ammo and plan on going cannibal on day one, it's the only way to be sure of an abundant supply.
MRE`s for the win!!! Never had an MRE that I didn`t like!I like MREs cause of the flameless ration heaters. Just a bit of water, and you can have hot food. I also haven't noticed a sweeter direction in the last 10 years or so. They're same as I remember.
cool, didn't know that. Looks like Amazon is doing surge pricing as they have increased to > $12/mreI like MREs cause of the flameless ration heaters. Just a bit of water, and you can have hot food. I also haven't noticed a sweeter direction in the last 10 years or so. They're same as I remember.
i don't go to the range much anymore. i have plenty of ammo still. What is the shelf life on 9mm, .45, and 12 guage shotgun shells?
Wish I had a enough money for a year's supply. I'm one of those that feel the super volcano in Yellowstone is going up one day. It is over due. You will need enough food and water for at least a year. Plus, you better be packing heat to ward off the desperate. If you're on medication, you will almost be SOL. God's way of thinning the herd I guess. It will be every man or family for themselves and not even FEMA can help you.
When Yellowstone goes up a years supply of food won't help you. Unless you have a bunker and some seriously expensive air filters you're toast long before you'll starve. Volcanic ash in the air over the entire country for days is pretty much a death sentence for anything with lungs.
That's not something to be concerned with, we're talking about a 640,000 year interval between major eruptions, so "overdue" still has a 20,000 year margin of error. For a country that's 200 years old the prospect of the inevitable Yellowstone cataclysm happening in the year 22,016 isn't too daunting a prospect.
You don't have a fridge and pantry? We probably have enough food in the fridge and pantry to last for months even if we stopped buying grocery.
You live outside?
The county's age has nothing to do with the historical record.
WTF does living outside have to do with anything? The air inside your house can't last without circulation and whatever coming in has volcanic ash in in. Not smoke, ash. That's vaporized rock and glass that gets breathed in, cuts your lungs to ribbons and turns to mud which suffocates you. Unless you have a 100% secure air supply that's filtered you're dead. The end.
And the countries age has nothing to do with anything, it's just a contrast to geologic time. To short attention span idiots "overdue" means "in my lifetime" and in geologic time it could mean longer than modern man has existed on the planet. If you're truly concerned about Yellowstone being "overdue" and you think you need to prep for it, then it's for the best that you think a years supply of food will be the difference between life and death. You're 100% doomed and the surviving gene pool would be better off without your DNA. If we're still here on this continent when Yellowstone erupts we're toast and all the food on Earth won't change that.
Gotta buy by the case for good pricing...cool, didn't know that. Looks like Amazon is doing surge pricing as they have increased to > $12/mre
