Got the lasagna ( ?) delivered. Not bad.

Not Lasagna but tasted the same.

 

I'm thinking of starting with a 30day kit.

Wife tried it, it's meh for both of us. Not soilent green by any means.

 

You guys tried this stuff?

Where did you get the free sample from?

Store what you eat.

 

for 30 days, all you need is a slightly deeper pantry and some canned meets like tuna and chicken and the like if the power is out.

 

The other logic you can use is that "meh" is also a good thing, you won't be tempted to eat it when you are too tired to cook, so it will be around when you need it.

I already pinched all the blueberry granola breakfast from my buckets... I added hot milk instead of water and they were excellent.

I sent away years ago for the wise food samples -- never got them

 

I buy the freeze dried stuff from costco -- fruits and veggies -- when it's on sale

 

I have a bunch of tray rations stocked, the freeze dried stuff and a deep everyday pantry

 

But a little extra of what you already eat that will keep -- dinty moore, spam -- that stuff never goes bad

 

could go a couple months without a store trip -- it would get boring but can do it

This other logic is true.

This is good info, you're gonna need to restock.

So what advantage the likes of Wise-Food got over dry chickpeas, beans, rice, dry pasta, beef jerkey and some vodka ?

beats me.

You want a contact cool, if not, cool.

Only thing I think of is the 25 yr shelf life.

 

Vlad made a good point, buy more canned shit. Cool, good point( buy it on sale) but it's only like couple yrs shelf life.

 

Although I am Zekestradamus , sometimes my magic 8 ball no worky

A high percentage of the canned food will be edible for your lifetime as long as the cans are not damaged. "Edible" is vague, maybe I should have said "won't kill you." So there is a problem if you are like me, and don't eat so much canned food that you can actually rotate the stuff within its consumer shelf life. I still don't throw the stuff out, though.

 

A few years ago I went to a farm supply place and picked up about 500 pounds of wheat, corn, and soybeans (wish they had red beans). Packed it all up in mylar and buckets with O2 adsorbers off Amazon. Total cost was about $150, including buckets, etc.

 

If you are not serious about this stuff (like me) there are two things you want to do ahead of time. First is make "slime," food of last resort. Soak beans overnight. Crack or grind your wheat best as partical, with your hand-crank grinder or by smahing and grinding in a pot. Add beans to wheat in fresh water and bring to boil. Put in a thermus or put pot into a large insulated basket and let cook passively for 6 hours. You got slime. If you are going to season, do it when finished, salt can interfere with cooking beans. Second, grind your wheat and bake bread. Or no-rise bread, soda bread, hard tack, etc.

 

When the SHTF you will need to incorporate small amounts of this food into your diet Week 2. By Week 2, you got to figure it might be serious. You can't transition to a rough grain diet overnight. Also serves to stretch your good food.
