Freeze Dried Food, MRE, versus bulk food and canned Food
Below is an updated survival food comparison chart.
Freeze dried food, MRE, and canned food are compared in catagories to determine their merit as a survival food.
In my opinion (and scoring of course) freeze dried food is the clear winner. However it is important to note that MRE is very useful as an initial emergency food and a mobile emergency food. So you should have both MRE and freeze dried, but mostly Freeze dried food.
Only the small percentage of us who utilize bulk grains for our cooked food on a regular basis, have reliable heating alternatives for cooking, and ample food and water storage space could rate canned food/bulk grain higher.
