Thread: Best Freeze Dried Foods/MREs

Unless you are rich I see no reason to buy over-priced MRE's!

Hardtack was the traditional staple for military use. You can make a better substitute with high-protein flour, dry milk, salt (or use potassium containing Lite-Salt) sugar, canola oil, oatmeal, etc.and water. Roll the dough out to about 3/8 thickness, cut with a cookie cutter and bake very well at 400F to drive off the water. store air tight. You need about 2000 Calories and 60 grams protein, per person, per day. Do not forget to also store Vitamin tablets and extra vitamin C! The cost should be under one Dollar, per person, per day.

Perhaps some chia seeds should be included with it? They are said to have a number of very healthy properties.

I would store peas, beans, peeks, rice, dry milk and other things
in a storage room in large plastic drums being able to contain a
volume of 120 L and more. You should not forget, you won`t be
able to go to the stores when it really gets bad. Try to learn as
much as you can here.

Excellent point Huntingwolf, peas and beans contain as much as 25% protein, and even better, that protein has an amino acid profile which is complementary to the profile for wheat, oats and rice. That is, peas or beans in combination with wheat, oats or rice provide complete protein without the high cost of meat. The most important thing is that all of these can be stored dry, for years!

Also important is to have on a long term a food supply. And the
number one is water, having a fountain with fresh drinkable water.
A minimum start for farming of animals are goats and chickens. The
natural products stored in containers are just a chance for us to start.
We need also many very important things as penicillin and dried herbs for
healing our people we should store too. Even a large amount of toilet
paper will be welcome, soap, shavers, shaving foam, perfume for men
and women, tampons all things we think too less at the moment but will
make us feel ways better, keeping up our moral.

Good advice. I would include muesli on the list too, probably. Eventually, it may get bad enough we will literally be making our own toothpaste. Something else to put in that time capsule...

I would like to store Honey and soybean.

I think honey is just stored in a jar isn't it? Soybeen I'm not sure of. Very good idea though. Honey can be added to things to make the taste better, or raw just as a snack.

Erm...actually, I have heard that soybean is linked to sterility. I'm not sure if it means just the GMO or the natural. I'd be cautious though...

Honey is a natural preservative and will crystalize...never rot. An EXCELLENT CHOICE! but soybeans will make you feel girly.

Go for the lentils, peas, beans, pop corn, and rice.

Also important : More than 10kg of dried milk powder, dried eggs,egg yolk solids,
many packages of beef jerky, suggar, salt, pepper, herbs for foods, mustard seeds

He makes a very good sales pitch. If I ran a store, I'd want this guy to feature it in a video.

It makes me want to place an order just listening to them talk.

Spices and seasoning will be something very scarce in such a scenario.

It has occurred to me that another item that will be hard to get, is tea and coffee. Green tea is especially important for the high stress of being White & normal. I strongly advise everyone to stockpile plenty of coffee and tea.
