Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?

Normal food cupboard rotation - I agree 2 months at shtf consumption rates is about right. You will be rationing, but after the first week you'll be eating this a lot more than normal. So it might take a year to rotate. Also there is a third category, which has a normal 1-2 year shelf life, which y...

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. Because you can buy and forget about them. No rotation at all. If bought today a 3 month supply would be out of date in 2043. What w...

Re: Small House storage,

At my age kneeling down isn't a problem, it's the getting up that stops me from using the space as storage. :shock:

Re: Decanting dry foods? Milk Bottles?

I have mine in Kilner jars, but any glass jar with lid would do.

I also have jars full of screws, washers, bolts etc all matching (ex sauerkraut jars)

The plastic bottles seem a good idea but I would worry about the degrading of plastic.

Yes all "wet" MREs (UK.USA. UN and some Eastern Europe), French and some Eastern Europe Countries come in tins. If you look around on Ebay they can be as found as low as £1. A good mixture of curries, stews and omelette/Fritatas all portioned controlled. The lifespan says 3- 5 years but I...

Re: Popped Jars and cans

It happens to retort pouches too. They swell up to twice their size. Best to catch those early.... :shock: :oops: Is that what your MREs are in. I read your post about switching to MREs and I must say that sounds expensive. Do you rotate them into your regular diet? Yes all "wet" MREs (UK...
