What are good alternatives to MREs. I need something that will store the same if not longer than a case of mres. The alternative must me reasonably priced too. Anyone have any suggestions?


Ps must taste good lol..... No freeze dried turds.

Buy a few and try them. Don't know what you like.

I have some Mountain House food. You can get it online, and cabelas. Probably other places. I know those for sure.

Check out wise foods, they will send you a sample for your info online. A rep emails me about once a month with specials.... they havent nagged me so no problems.

Ive only had a few sample entrees and the whole family said they would eat it in situations.... just not everyday for a regular meal. As I did w/ the early MREs in the Army I need to tweak and add some flavors to these and I think they will be gtg.

Theres a few of guys and sons do a couple hunting/ campout trips this winter and I plan to use these meals.....

Anyhow, check it out. I saw that Bradis II has these packaged up too.... of course cheaper online by buying bulk.

Don't knock Mountain House until you have tried it. I like the chili mac and the beef stew. It actually is pretty good and unless you seen it being made you would not know it is freeze dried. I sampled a two serving breakfast pack recently I wanted to use and when it comes to the eggs....use ketchup or a LOT of pepper. I have it put back because I figure that in a situation where I actually am opening the Mountain House then I will eat just about anything.

Honeyville Grains has a lot of variety. Their shipping is always $5.00 for any order. I like the Wise Foods but their shipping for smaller orders is high.

I heard that the Walmart in Greenfiled carries long term storage foods, think it was Wisefood storage

Grabill Country Meats - The owner goes to our church. He says the official shelf life is 10 years, but he also says they will be good as long as the can is intact.

I've seen the Augason 12 day pails at WalMart (and yes at Greenfield and 96th St in Indy). Link to walmarts website featuring them found below. Please note these are 12 day for a single person, for $68ish dollars.

They also have other smaller individual items in their camping section. More of a single entree or side items.

Freeze dried food is great...don't know what kind you have eaten.

I can cook anything out of freeze dried food that i can cook with fresh food. and the taste is the same.

We have a cook book and lots of online recipes.

I know that it is not as long term as some but lets not forget about canning home grown food, When **** hits the fan I still want to know what I'm eating haha

Canning is great. Cheaper and healthier.
But some foods are better for an emergency move. Glass breaks easy.
Some of these foods just need hot water.
Energy bars suck. Unless you have to move rapidly, and not have time for real food. Like evac'ing an area.

You should plan for different events.
I wouldn't want to eat energy bars for 3 days straight. Canned would be better for that.
