[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1506561, member: 1242"] I think I read somewhere that stored properly MREs have a shelf life of 5-7 years, 10 max. Like SMS said staples, stored properly, will last forever. FD/DH stuff will last 15-30 years. If you want to do this and still appear sane to your family, start out by stocking what you already eat ... buy 2 or 3 of things you usually buy 1 of ... buy the big package of beans (all different kinds) and a big package of rice (or Minute Rice) every time you go to the store. It doesn't take long to add up ... Go to amazon and pick up this book [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Just-Case-Self-Sufficient-Unexpected-Happens/dp/1603420355/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1302452718&sr=1-1"]Just In Case[/URL] If I had bought this book first I could have saved a TON of money on books ... And hang in there ... I used to think GC was bat-s*%( crazy ... then we were without power for a week (ice storm in 2007) and if it hadn't been for the generator I wouldn't let him buy because "we didn't need it" (he traded a rifle for it) and the MREs I would "never eat" I would have frozen to death hungry ... lol [/QUOTE]
