Mark I think you are onto something, sounds more like the recommendations that circulated around when everyone was in a panic over the Year 2000. Worrying that every thing would fail Jan 1 2000.

I guess it all depends on how long a seige you are looking to be prepared for. I think I like the idea of rice and beans, bulgar wheat .... rather than MRE's, stuff that last for 20 years has to have some bad chemicals in it!

Amen to that!

I was just thinking that the seige you are preparing for would have to be very long (like over 9 months) or require light weight for mobility to mandate freeze dried MRE type meals. So just standard canned products and dry goods would last you a long time.

How long a period are you targeting for emergnecy supplies? Or is it you just want to buy it once and have it there should you ever need it in the next 20 years, like a medical kit?
