Did you buy a single bulk purchase from one company or did you pick stuff up “here and there” from different companies?Great article Mike! I have several years worth of survival food packed away in the garage. I just don’t have the time or energy after long shifts at work to fit all that prep in with all the other things that need doing around our home. It was definitely not cheap, but we have peace of mind. It’s one less thing to worry about when the time comes to hunker down and defend ourselves.
I diversify my stash based on a mix of freeze-dried, bulk cans, store-bought stuff and the ability to use each according to circumstances.Did you buy a single bulk purchase from one company or did you pick stuff up “here and there” from different companies?
I bought a bulk package deal from 4Patriots. I also recently bought some of their survival canned meats. I usually wait until they have a good bundle deal and go for it then. It all has a shelf life of 25 years.Did you buy a single bulk purchase from one company or did you pick stuff up “here and there” from different companies?
Sounds like at a restaurant. Within my budget, always look for the highest calorie count…gotta be the best entree or burger!Always look at the ingredients & how many calories you get.
For bulk cans, the Augason Farms brand is high-quality, and has a very nice selection.
