I have found it very easy to store the pre-packaged & canned freeze dried foods. Just add hot water and they are ready to eat. These foods store for 25+ years. The bulk grains have a very limited storage life. Some companies have prepackaged 1 year food kits. It's my goal to buy one Imperial food supply for each member of the family. The Imperial food supply is three meals per day plus many extras. The pricing on the freeze dried foods is very good and knowing you don't have to replace it every few years makes it nice. I have bought freeze dried foods all over the web and found survival warehouse to have the best pricing and free shipping. After tasting most of the different brands and meals. |
