Has pretty decent reviews from what I have seen.

Has a longer shelf life than MREs.

Much appreciated... but they appear to be on the "pricey" side... I'm looking for something a little less expensive.

Boy donut cop you would have never made it in the military when I was in NAM which was the 70s and our crations were from WWII. In little tin cams, IMHO some day you might have to eat those out dated MREs .

Dried beans are cheap, stay good almost forever, and have pretty good survival nutrition.

Once you put away some conventional food, spend effort learning how and what to forage in the wilderness. I'm only a novice forager, but I'm absolutely amazed at how much free food is out there that nobody recognizes anymore.

You know there is good advice for sure. I too need to read up on the forage skill myself.

If you are looking at bulk food with a long shelf life check out the Mormon food sites. They are heavy into self reliance and having canned food supplies with a long shelf life is a requirement. Warehouse stores where you can buy in bulk sizes works. Think ingredients not meals. There is an email that I get often that talks about long term food supplies and how to store them.

Beans and rice. You might want some things like minced onion, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Then supplement as things are available. Why do you think the Cajuns came up with Red Beans and Rice?

Oh, and don't forget the grits
