[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case of what?  Really.  What do you think will happen that you will need 124 servings of freeze dried meals? [/quote]

1- it isn't really 124 servings. It's more like 80.
2- if you have a family of 5 (with three teenage boys) its about 10 days of food.
3- remember what it was like getting food and domesstic goods at the beginning of the pandemic (as a UMC, privileged person in a wealthy well served neighborhood)?

Consider those and then understand how incredibly easily it could have been 10 times worse.

This isn't about fighting zombies or intubating your neighbors with Bic pens. This is about having calories to function if/when the supply chain gets shut down. Not disrupted or marginally interupted, but SHUT. DOWN.

A couple hundred bucks in Montain House meals is a life saver. Worst case scenario? Take a couple camping trips to use it up each yaer.

Serioulsy.  Be prepared.[/quote]
3. I remember that most food was in stock, just not a few things. Pasta and canned soups went quick. With my shopping lists, I was usually able to get 90% of the items. It might not have been my preferred brand, but it was the same product.
Mountain house meals are high sodium, and some kids may not like them.
Honestly, it’s best to just have extra of the food you actually like.[/quote]
