Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?

Why do you want 20 year shelf life? This only makes sense if you have 20 years food stashed. If you only stash enough for 2 months, you only need 2 months shelf life.

Still about 19lb down since new year. NEVER and I mean NEVER, sell yourself short. The fact that you...
