MRE's you will need to plan on replacing every 5-7 years depending on were you store them.
I have had good luck over the years purchasing from these guys (https://www.thereadystore.com/ ). They have a wide variety of food with different shelf lives.
where can i order online a good quality 4 person 72 hr emergency food supply?
I may be mistaken, but isn't one MRE good for a day's worth? I mean, I guess one MRE gives you your allotted calories for the day? So that 12 pack bulk box would last 12 days?
One MRE has about 1200 calories. The US military soldiers usually go through 3-4 MRE's a day during combat but they are burning through a lot of calories. So if you are ok with 1200 calories then yes a MRE is good for a day.
Get the MREs with the cheese and crackers. That cheese has to be pure fat...
Do they label what's inside? I thought each MRE was like a large ass cracker jack. You never know what you're going to get.
It's not a grab bag. If you're familiar with them, you'll know what's packed in each menu. It feels like a grab bag if you're unfamiliar, and that adds to the fun. I used to have a preferred packer, but I forget which it was anymore. The ones I remember are Ameriqual, Sopacko, and Warnick(sp?). The ones I currently have are Ameriqual.Do they label what's inside? I thought each MRE was like a large ass cracker jack. You never know what you're going to get.

Remember in a survival situation you could be burning more calories than normal.
when the weather isn't severe.
Heat is bad for them, and they tell you to protect from freezing on the box. For severe weather use(car break down, or whatever) I'd carry them in and out of the truck with me, and not leave them in. There's also arctic rations that are freeze dried(I believe), but I've never had them, and they probably don't taste as good.When the weather isn't severe??? Wouldn't be a good idea to have a few in case you are snowed in?
I've tried the Mountain House stuff. Shit is expensive but my low-quality taste buds like the taste -- on the other hand, what cheaper food is rated to last like a decade. The stuff I tried was freeze-dried though, so you may need water, heat, and a cooking vessel.
If you're inside the ash won't get you. Unless you're that concerted tape your windows. One of the reasons why Homeland Security back then mentioned having duct tape was in case of a chemical attack. That will get you in a house.
Of course you will have to mask up and shovel the ash off your roof periodically.
Part of the problem is a super volcano eruption in yellow stone would literally generate multiple feet of ash, I saw a show on it and any house in the Southwest would collapse from the weight of the ash. Even NY was looking a 1-3 feet if I remember correctly. An eruption at yellow stone would make a good chunk of North America uninhabitable for years.

If I remember correctly it becomes very heavy after it gets wetIs volcanic ash super dense/heavy or something? I can't see how it would be any different than snow, if lighter.
