Survival Food - Freeze Dried & MRE

I recieved a phone call and email from a Texas radio station this morning. They talked about the chaos going on with Hurricane Dolly and how their listeners would be very interested in survival food products.

It was someone from the advertising department, not the newsroom.

After I told them my website is a blog and that I don’t actually sell products they quieted down a bit.

I told them anyone advertising now would just be selling on fear, but I guess that is what they were interested in.

I also said it is too late anyway for anyone who is not prepared with their own food supply. Hopefully there will be little or no damage and disruption from this hurricane.

If you live in an area that has risk of hurricanes, the best course of action is to decide on your preparedness plans now and not wait. You will make the best decisions when there is no rush and panic and not be at the mercy of people trying to profit on your fear.

As mentioned in a previous post the best survival food for hurricanes is MRE. It is ready to eat and does not require water to prepare. If you have to travel away from the coast before the hurricane hits the best food to carry with you is MRE.

Commercial MRE is available at camping stores, some department stores and online.

I would avoid military MRE on auction sites as it may be compromised by how it was stored previously, and there is a chance it was stolen or improperly obtained or is specified not for re-sale by the government.
