The Recommended 5 Survival Food Brands
The quality of survival food brands may, in a situation where survival is imperative, be what decides whether you live or die. The energy in food is crucial, so you need to ensure you have plenty of supplies which will see you surviving whatever emergency arises.
There are a number of things which will determine how much food you’ll need. If you aim to be mobile you will need more calories for energy. Are all the individuals with you able to support themselves with their own supply of food? If that is not the case then you’ll have to carry more than your own fair share. But if you plan to remain in the same location then you’ll be able to store at least three days’ rations quite easily.
Freeze dried food is ideal if you plan to move around or wish to save space, as this is relatively lightweight and will remain edible for over two years. You’ll be able to make freeze dried meals for yourself with the correct equipment. For pre-packaged food brands, however, read on.
Wise Company 52 Serving Prepper Pack
The Wise Company 52 Serving Prepper Pack brand is also available in 60, 120 and 240 serving packs. These prepared meals contain lots of protein and come in a variety of flavors including stroganoff, southwest beans and rice, apple cinnamon oatmeal and pasta with veg. The 52 serving offers additional whey protein and a drink of orange.
The Wise Company brand is a good choice when staying at the one location or if attempting to squirrel away as much as possible in the way of food stores. The standard 52 serving pack costs around $60.
American Red Cross 4 Person 72 Hour Food Supply
This is an emergency rations supply of survival foods recommended by the American Red Cross which, for $109, includes food for four over a 72 hour period. On the menu you’ll find such assortments as black beans and rice, cheddar and broccoli rice, macaroni and cheese, chicken and vegetable stew, and cheddar cheese grits.
This useful kit is designed so that each person gets 2,100 calories a day, which is fine if you plan to stay in one location, but you’ll need more calories than that if you’re to be moving around, so bring more food with you.
Valley Food Storage 1 Month Supply
For non-GMO needs or for people with special dietary requirements, Valley Food Storage has what you need. This includes gluten free and dairy free options. A typical supply for one month includes offerings such as macaroni and cheese, buttermilk pancakes, pasta primavera, fettuccini alfredo, and tomato and basil soup. It’s good value, with this one month example costing just $150.
Mountain House
Mountain House is known as a backpacker’s brand of food, also ideal for survival situations. These are all meals which are freeze dried and consist of two large portions. There is a choice of meals available including homestyle turkey dinner casserole and chili mac with beef. As well as main courses, they also provide breakfast meals and snacks, including the favorite granola and ice cream sandwiches. Meals are bought individually and cost from $7 to $12.
Goodto-Go
Goodto-Go is quite comparable to Mountain House, but differs in that they provide a greater choice of vegetarian and gluten free dishes. Their range of meals includes Indian vegetable korma, Mexican quinoa, and mushroom risotto. The range of Goodto-Go meals cost about $13 per meal.
To Conclude
