Was it really $80, cause that's really expensive isn't it?
I have bought the classic bucket for around $50 when it goes on sale. I know it'll only last a day or so when SHTF but it's easy to store.
Those ramen noodles are so unhealthy you'll turn yourself into a zombie.
No just for emergency.
Yup $80, they were the family size bags(5 servings per) so in theory 45 servings as opposed to the classic bucket 29 servings.
best thing is to avoid stuff that requires a ton of water to prepare.. heck never know when water becomes scares
I know we're talking emergency food that you'd store for shtf purposes but, good gosh, check the nutrition label. Those soups have well over 1100 mg of salt. Average intake for a healthy human for the day is about 2500 mg of salt. The bottom line is that eating these will really dehydrate you because that salt is hydroscopic and will make you thirsty all day long.
I really think food items like this are fantastic overall. I've got them in my own stash but for the life of me I don't understand why the manufacturers need to load these things up with wild amounts of salt like they do. It's just not healthy for you, period, and believe me I'm no health nut but I do watch my blood pressure. This noodle concoction would taste just fine with less than 1/2 the salt. Just keep that in mind. During a SHTF situation, taking in enough carbs to keep moving and staying warm will be important. Excess salt isn't.
