Seems Costco in USA do survival rations for a year for $1,000. They last 15-25 years and are just what you need for your bunker.

Thank God, now that my bunker is nearly finished I was looking for a supplier for these. Cheers.

Jonno, how you even came to be looking at that information is funny. Do you have the boys in the garden digging you a shelter?
-
I'm not a survivalist but am wary that the economic and political state of the world seems a bit unstable. A week with no flushing toilet over Xmas made me realise that there's nothing wrong with being prepared. However, I'll not be running out to buy a years supply of food any time soon :)
Though I'd rather take my chances with the zombie cannibals outside in the Apocalypse than spend time in a confined space with someone living exclusively on the diet Costco recommend. No air filter could take that :D

Nothing wrong with being prepared, which reminds me need to stock up on Jack Daniels ;D

Amazing find. Precisely what I was looking for!! ;D

I never want to find out if Textured Vegetable Protein tastes like real meat but I'm going to guess that like most meat substitutes, it tastes like poo :)
The best prepper motto is 'Buy what you eat'. When TEOTWAWKI happens you dont want to be stuck with 200 tins of corned beef, If you hate corned beef. I know its not dehydrated but the principal is sound ;D
'The taste and texture of TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) is consistent with real meat, making it a great addition to vegetarian diets' Sounds yummy!! :-\
Super noodles are a winner!
-
I tell you what, if their dehydrated food makes you as windy and smelly as most dehydrated meals then you'd die from inside the bunker quicker than you would from anything outside it ;D

Considering the wind factor of all this do they make Guinness too?!
