Long-term Food Preps
 |
| MRE's & Non-Perishables Some of the best long-term food items that preppers tend to stock up on are Meals Ready to Eat, or MRE's. These can either be purchased or similar products can be made at home using non-perishable items. One resource I found to find (what appears to be a good deal) on MRE's if you chose to purchase them, is from Major Surplus Survival. You can get 2 cases (24 MRE's) for $100, or 3 cases for $150 (36 MRE's). Major Surplus Survival: Another awesome resource is Mountain House freeze dried products. These have a 25 year shelf life and can either be left in their containers or divided out and resealed in mylar for individual MRE's. They have a combo special for $295.00 of 12 (1 gallon) cans that include:
This special can be found at: http://www.majorsurplus.com/Mountain-House-10-Can-Combo-Special-P15361.aspx If your interested in learning how to break these down in individual meals there are many video resources I found on Youtube. Even though some of the videos show meals in a "jar", you can easily skip the jar and use mylar bags.

Build it week-by-week if you can. Remember: Do what you can, with what you have! |
