And today I learned that the post-apocalyptic ravening hordes will be literate, at least until all the easy pickings are consumed.
In Niven’s book “Lucifer’s Hammer” a scientist hides his extensive library, suitably sealed in Ziplocs, in his home’s septic tank. When recovered, it essentially saves civilization.
This is about a MILLION time better buy than that retarded list of $5/week that basically had you stocking a bread factory…. Like honestly I can’t believe that list even made it past a few minutes of logical analysis.
for long term storage kits, the calorie is king, especially if you’ll need to be doing things like evacuation or digging or farming or cutting down firewood. I’m sure I burn through at least 3500 calories on the trail with my pack. 700 calories/day isn’t going to cut it.
I look at many of the 1 year food storage deals and laugh, again, unless you’re just sitting around waiting for things to return to normal you need more than split peas and wheat berries.
So I highly approve of the calorie count being advertised prominently.
If you’ve got some other kit, the quickest bandaid is to add peanut butter. A one pound plastic jar adds about 2550 calories that don’t need refrigeration or cooking and is something that has a several year shelf life and is easy to rotate into your everyday diet. The lid probably screws right onto a mason jar too.
