I'm new here but found this listing on Ebay for freeze dried chicken. It looks decent but can anyone tell me if $175 plus shipping is a good deal for 12 pounds of freeze dried chicken?
I emailed the seller and they said that Oregon Freeze Dried www.ofd.com was the company that produced it. Any wisdom?
Depends on what they charge you for shipping. You'll be paying $1.10 an ounce if my math is correct. That's a bit less than Honeyville Grain or some other places charge for their #10 size cans. Those run about 1.80 an ounce. The down side of course is you have 12lbs of freeze dried chicken once you open it. That's a lot of chicken to have to consume if it's just a few folks. It doesn't last 15 years once it's open. One month if you can refrigerate it, one week if you can't.

Probably more money for smaller packages....but after doing a search, most everything on the "freeze dried chicken" was pet food....?
Wonder what the difference would be?

Haga34677 - I've removed the link to the EBay auction that you posted. It seems that where the item ships from and your IP address are only a few blocks apart. Tell you what - walk on over, check it out and give us an update. I suspect you won't need to walk very far.......next room maybe?

Well, that should save on shipping.
Now, if we can just figure out what to do with 12lbs of freeze dried turkey once it's open we're home free.

We could do some survivaling and have a pugnacious poultry party for survivalists.
That's the ticket. We could do a survival week-end at the next jamboree. Just the 12lbs of chicken and a knife. Pretty prepared people participating and practicing proper persistence and prevailing!

Sounds like a job for the F.A.R.T.S. We should do some planning after a nap. You want the mule to head up the Chicken F.A.R.T. planning?
The mule has been on my list since he wrecked that airplane. I've told 2D and told him that mules can't fly. They have no depth perception. I don't know how the mule got a pilot's license in the first place!

$14 a pound!!!???
At that price you can have T-bone, with salad, baked potato and mushrooms, cooked by someone else.
That is excessive even for long term storage food.
Where's the canned bacon?

Turkey Jerkey time! The varmints love it. They only get this kind of volume just after Christmas, and spring gobbler season. I'm tagged out on both.

Come to think of it;
That'll be a once frozen, twice dried, dead on dead Turkey. I think the varmints will pass.
