Re: 'manufactured' emergency food packs

Think I'll give the soya mince a try as well. The tuna of emergency food ration chicken, and other stuff, are quite large, 20+ meals I think.

Re: 'manufactured' emergency food packs

I just thought they might be easier to transport in a bag than a collection of tins and packets if have to leave quickly.

Re: Hi, new/returning member

Cooking in garden then roadkill. Will look out for things and then get husband to do it :).

So much to do and no time to do it. It's up to me really, my husband is the ostrich type.

Thank you
Kathy

Then think I saw mention somewhere the other day that UK might not be able to meet energy needs as a new power station has been cancelled or something.

Hi. Seen mention of pre packed emergency food packs in paper a couple days ago and I've looked at that company's website - emergency food storage. Seems like an easy way to get a pack for certain time scales (range from few days to a yr!) with v v long life. Has anyone tried these type of things? Ju...
