If you are looking at bulk food with a long shelf life check out the Mormon food sites. They are heavy into self reliance and having canned food supplies with a long shelf life is a requirement. Warehouse stores where you can buy in bulk sizes works. Think ingredients not meals. There is an email that I get often that talks about long term food supplies and how to store them.

Beans and rice. You might want some things like minced onion, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Then supplement as things are available. Why do you think the Cajuns came up with Red Beans and Rice?

Oh, and don't forget the grits

I have noticed that foods stored need to be stored correctly or it will take the horrble taste of cardboard. I tend to look at my pantry as being food storage. I rotate the pantry and would do pretty good for 3-4 weeks on the lean side and before storm season I stack some good buys deep.

Contact Wise at their site and you can get a free sample. Some have said Wise is a little saltier than Mountain House. I have never tried Mountain House.

I have tried Mountain House, and it's not bad. I tested out my emergency stove with some Mountain House chicken with rice. It was very tasty! Not as filling as their beef stew though - which was also pretty tasty.

I’ve done samples of both and the Wise was way too salty for me. Mountain House was decent.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
