We have put up a lot of posts since we moved to this topic, but not too many actually dealing with food acquisition, storage, preparation, cooking, etc. under austere conditions.

TR,
One additional on Food ---
We have always kept a one (1) year food supply on hand for the family – mostly bulk food (Plastic pails – Cans, nitrogen sealed) – They are good for about 5 – 7 years if stored at 60 / 70 degrees. So far we have not used them, but have rotated stock . For those item we have not used, When they are near expiration date, I donate them to a local foodbank. I could not find our supplier, but below is an example from a different company .

I am curious about civilian MRE type meals (especially entrees – that’s where the calories are). I have purchased several “sample packs” and most are good – Much better than the “C” rations I remember.
What is your opinion about bulk purchase of Civilian MRE’s for long term storage ??
