    What's the math on how much water would be needed to cook all that?

    That’s a great concept that they came up with however, that’s a huge amount of money to be spending at once. Maybe a more practical way would be building your own food storage. Purchase little by little.

    That's the catch with freeze dried stuff. Really depends on where a person is at, although the super long shelf life is a potential plus in some ways.

    What makes less sense to me is people buying MRE's for holed up at home planning instead of an equal monetary amount of off the shelf grocery canned goods which would be a much larger volume of food.

    Something I did that was easy was buy Mylar bags and o2 absorbers and make my own. You can buy 50 1 quart bags and 200 absorbers in a kit for $20. Each one holds about 1.5 pounds of dry goods (rice, beans, pasta, etc.). All you need is an iron and a block of wood to seal them and they are said to keep good up to 30 years.

    I like most of the Mountains House stuff. We have a small supply of the Wise food. We have the meals and the meats. Would like to add the vegetables and fruits in the future. The meals are pretty good for freeze dried but need additional seasoning (does not have enough salt for me).

    I also vacuum sealed a bunch of (dried) black beans, pinto beans and rice and put them in a 5 gallon Lowe’s bucket.
