Hello, my survival minded friends on NWFA. I'm re-entering the prepping field, on a very low budget and with limited space (i.e.- I live in apartment, so no space to raise veggies or animals because the small backyard is dominated by a cherry tree that does not belong to me, and kills anything I plant, including grass). As a child, I learned to forage wild greens, nuts and berries; I can catch fish, trap crawdads, and hit pretty much anything I aim at with a rifle (as long as it's not moving too fast LOL). I have read Backwoodsman Magazine for some years. My concern is not so much TEOTWAWKI, but to be ready for a short term, localized event that could prevent us from going out obtaining groceries. At this point I would like to put a small amount of long term food aside, and I want to get things right the first time. I have some past experience with storing grains, beans, etc.; and have a local source for all of that.
My specific question: Does anyone have any experience with Survival Cave brand of foods? Good quality, or a waste of money? Most LTS brands I see use TVP meat substitutes, or premixed dishes with some real meat in them. I see freeze-dried product as an unnecessary strain on emergency water stores. I like the idea of REAL meat in long term storage cans, that I would not have to remember to rotate every year or two.
