Instead of MRE's

I'm lost as to why someone needs 25 year shelf life food. Quoting Jack Spirko, "Store what you eat and eat what you store". If you do this you can stockpile 3, 6, 9, 12 months of food (whatever your comfortable with) and then rotate it out periodically for consumption. Replace before using any. This way is cheaper, tastes better and is more practical. My personnal opinion is that everyone should be growing at least some of their food now. It is much easier to ramp up production in an established garden, than it will be to establish a garden if something happens that you can't buy food at Kroger one day. Grow now, or starve later! Joe

if you store it, and forget about it. It still will be good for up to 25 years. Try doing that with other foods. I have some canned foods, some long term storable foods. But having the longer shelf life stored foods( these are stored in Mylar packages in Nitrogen, so they will keep) seems like a good idea.

 

It's preparing for the worst, when we don't know exactly when the worst will happen. Could happen tomorrow, next week, next month, etc... Could be 24 years down the line.

 

Some people won't see jacks mentality on storing and rotating out food. They wait till the last minute and then are out of food. Most people won't take the time to prepare as much as others. So having the 25 year storable food in storage makes sense for most. No rotation, just add hot water and eat. This society has been acustomed to having things in an instant, they cannot seem to wait.

Most of those companies offer some type of "sample pack" with a couple of meals for a nominal cost.

My only suggestion is to be sure and try a meal or two before you order a large stash.  Some of the ones we've tried were way too salty for our taste.

Your taste buds might be different!

Think you can order a sampler pack. The ones you don't like( like Stroganoff) you can give away( But i think if your'e hungry enough, you'd about eat anything).

 

I think the foods from Wise food storage are all vegetarian storable foods. You can add meat if you want.

 

I got a free sample myself a while back, and while i don't particularly care for stroganoff( i'd eat it if i was really hungry). Might order a couple packs( maybe a bucket) after the first of the year( i spent most of my sparable income on christmas presents and ammo.

Think on this. 25 year shelf life and food that actually tastes like food.

The stuff I ate tasted like crap. Much worse that even the worse MRE I had while overseas. The Wise stuff is way, way oversalted is more of a mushy goo than anything else. I will take my seasoned rice, beans and wild game over it any day of the week.
