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 If bought today a 3 month supply would be out of date in 2043.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.

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.

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...
