Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

Continuing to increase food stocks, dried mixed veg packs and tins, freezers are both pretty full, can anyone recommend any suppliers of dried veg packs?

Now the nights are starting to draw in, looking at emergency lights, candles and torches etc.
