Emergency situations can happen anywhere at any time. A pleasant afternoon hike in the woods can turn into a trying ordeal should you get lost and don't have any way of communicating with friends and family. A casual sail at sea can also lead to being lost and if this occurs it can be some time before the Coast Guard finds you. Also, hurricanes, earthquakes and tornados can cut power to homes for days and weeks at a time which will cut you off from the power to heat and refrigerate food. With high calorie emergency food bars you can be prepared for such situations and have the nutrition your body needs to stay alert while waiting for help to arrive.
Bulk freeze-dried food varies with manufacturer, although all offer up to a year's supply for an individual. Mountain House bulk freeze-dried food is stored in #10 cans, each of which holds a breakfast item or entrée. A full year's supply covers a variety of such items, as well as soups and condiments. Wise Food Storage and Lindon Farms, on the other hand, stick with mylar pouches. Offering both prepared and individuals for creating your own meal, Wise and Lindon Farms are ideal for grabbing your supply in the event of an emergency evacuation. All pouches are kept inside buckets, which close easily and can be stacked on top of each other. Between these two, Wise packages only two servings per pouch, eliminating long-term food waste, and Lindon Farms offers kits that can sustain an individual on 2,000 calories per day.
Although bulk freeze-dried food lasts 25 years or longer, storage conditions affect lifespan. Light and moisture are particularly detrimental; a storage area, as a result, must be dry, dark, and cool. A dry basement, closet, or crawlspace in your home likely has such conditions. However, chemicals leach out of cleaning supplies and trashcans, and in response, your food supply should neither be kept in such a container nor placed in an area with multipurpose cleaner and other similar products.
