JRH Enterprises started carrying Mountain House freeze dried products, primarily in #10 cans but if you need to order case lots of pouched items that you really LOVE- like the Ice Cream sandwich- I'll be glad to help facilitate that for you also.
Are the freeze dried products expensive? Yes no doubt there.
Are rice and beans cheaper? Yes, no doubt there. However, think of the increased fuel and time "costs" involved with "staple" items. Rice, pinto beans and other staples take up a lot of fuel cooking them and a lot of time with someone dedicated to cooking them and not doing much else.
I am still of the mindset that "staples" should be the bulk of your food storage program. That being said, living on "staples" for 14 years now, I REALIZE the time and fuel involved in using them daily.
Do you have the infrastructure for storage of bulk fuels? The 20 lb. bottle of propane is NOT what I'm talking about. Wood fire? Inside, sure, but you have the smoke/security issue. Outside? Now you got the smoke/security issue AND the SMELL of the food cooking.
There may be a time when we have to "hunker down", either truly in a "bunker" for Nuclear, biological or chemical reasons or just to LAY LOW.
I've always advocated having a 2 week to 1 month MINIMUM supply of quick prep foods in storage.
Being able to open a #10 can within minutes have a hot ready meal, may very well be a factor in SECURITY also.
Long guard duty schedule? Not much down time? Do the math on this, X number of people divided by 24 hours in the day.
See where "Mom" might even have to be enlisted to help with security? Think she would appreciate a "quick meal" prep versus an hour of grinding wheat and baking bread during times like that? Heck yeah she would.
We get "convenience" type foods MORE than we realize. Not necessarily "fast food" as in CrapDonalds, etc. but meal items that cook quickly, are partially or completely cooked when we buy them, etc.
So this shouldn't really be a stretch to consider quick fix foods in our preps. And of course these are way better for you.
With many gluten free and LOW SODIUM products, Mt. House offers a full line of entrees, breakfast items as well as freeze dried veggies, etc.
Personally, I buy them essentially for the 30+ year storage life and I'm thinking towards the later part of our lives. 30 years from now, I'll be 70 and I will probably really appreciate "quick fix" meals.
Now if TSHTF, I'll definitely "appreciate" quick fix meals.....
Mt. House is very, very particular about their retail pricing. So outside of 4 officially sanctioned "sales" every year, we are REQUIRED to not sell below a certain price point.
Soooo..... I'm gonna GIVE YOU a FREE Katadyn Mini filter water filter ($120. value) with every 5 cases of NON SALE PRICED Mt. House #10 cans you buy from JRH Enterprises.com
AND we are going to include the ship costs with each case purchased. So essentially "FREE SHIPPING" aka included in the price.
FREE SHIPPING on every single case of #10 cans and buy 5 or more cases and get a FREE KATADYN MINI FILTER
