I like it. I always wondered about the extended shelf life on things like this. Some of the freeze dried stuff I've got also has a 20 year shelf life.....would it know if it was 22 years old?????

[Rick]

I think it's like a parking meter. Once it reaches 20 years and a day a red flag pops up.

If you ask me, I can get everything in that + more for less, including the container. Companies can put emergency or survival on a product and charge extra.

NO MEAT. AND THAT MEANS NO BACON!

[LeaveThisLifeGuy]

that's pretty cool, wouldn't hurt to buy a bucket just in case.

[crashdive123]

Omid - please share with all of us where we too can get 275 servings of food plus storage for 80 bucks.

[Rick]

I don't think I can buy Reman noodles for that and they practically give them away.

[Rick]

It all sounds good to me. Well, Whey Milk doesn't but I do like Blueberry Pancakes (with bacon).

[Ken]

They ain't got no bacon in them buckets!

[crashdive123]

The bacon will have to be a do it yourself job. I'm guessing two 55 gallon barrels per 5 gallon bucket should do the trick.

[Rick]

That's why I was packin' mine up earlier today. One bucket and 3 tons of bacon should last me in Venezuela.

[Ken]

Just won't submit to the authority of the Ministry of Bacon, will ya?

[Rick]

I am soooooo close to snapping these fingers.

[Ken]

Do it after you've been out in 50 degree below weather. For three hours. With no gloves on and your hands out of your pockets (or anyone else's pockets either - you ain't a lawyer). Please record the snapping sound for me. I'll play it over and over again on my iPod. :D :D :D

[Rick]

Hell will freeze over before I'm out....Hey, wait a minute.

[Ken]

Do it after you've been out in 50 degree below weather. For three hours. With no gloves on and your hands out of your pockets (or anyone else's pockets either - you ain't a lawyer). Please record the snapping sound for me. I'll play it over and over again on my iPod. :D :D :D

As a caveat (a Latin word you don't have to remember to get bacon in Traxistan) please know, RICK, that holding your hands next to any heat source (open fire, hand warmers, Hugo's mouth, etc.) violates the "50 degree below" rule.
