That is what I bought. A years worth for the wife and me. Best dollar/calorie ratio out there. And it was a lot less costly than Wise and the others.

I have about 2 weeks worth (for two people) of MRE's packed away.
The wife & myself are pretty adept at living off the land, also.

I concur with minuteman196 about those companies products. My wife and I use to spend a couple hundred bucks every month at Emergency Esstentials until they closed all their stores and do business only on line. They had a larger client base online then those at the stores. Sadly, that's not my wife or I, we want to see the product, try it, not buy site unseen so we miss the stores. We also miss power bars called 'Millenium Bars' for they were a 400 cal. bar with five yr shelf life. I just inspected my bugout bag and found my bars were five yrs out of date. I figure I can live on three bars a day for several days; lightens the load. Also believe that LDS Sales (usually with Deseret Industries stores & LDS Services in Utah) will sell to anyone. Most of their products have 25 yr shelf life, but just the basic supplies for cheaper. What I'm trying to figure out is how I'm goin' to eat being a severe diabetic; no carbs, corn, potatos, grain, pasta, rice, etc.
I've used Mountain House for years in the mountains sheep hunting. They're pretty good and have sustained me carrying everything I need on my back for 2 weeks.

You may as well order a month supply kit for both yourself & your wife, just to be safe, and above all else buy a quality water filtration system so you know you have clean water!
Remember the rule of 3's:
You die when you lack 3 minutes of oxygen
You die when you lack 3 days of water
You die when you lack 3 weeks of food
Katadyn personal filter (this is their flagship model that is certified by the US Govt to filter even irradiated water sources): https://www.katadyn.com/us/us/470-8013618-katadyn-pocket_usa
Katadyn group filter: https://www.katadyn.com/us/us/257-8016389-katadyn-expedition
Just as powerful, but even though it's much larger it also filters 4x as much water per minute:

That's some serious bugout water! I wouldn't even try to guess how much Potable Aqua I would need to make those last!!

. Please be careful when buying those totes! Always question who you are buying from. I work at a place that use these to add ingredients to our products. In small amounts there are ok but larger amounts can be problematic. Chemical additives to our products are stored in these and there are warning labels on the totes. Now take into consideration that you can bleach the insides and the warnings could be because of lawyers.
