Freeze dried foods are ideal for emergency and disaster preparedness for a variety of reasons

Unbeatable Shelf Life

Our premium selection of freeze dried foods have a substantial shelf life of 20-30 years when stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment. This means that you can be confident that your investment will be ready and edible when you need it.

Extremely Lightweight

Freeze dried foods are wonderfully lightweight. With the majority of the moisture removed from the food, these foods weigh very little but reconstitute to a size and texture very close to their fresh cooked form. Individual pouches of freeze dried foods are light enough for backpacking, but even the larger #10 cans are light enough for a child to move and manipulate, so they’re perfect for stacking. 

Pouches Are Compact & Portable

A great advantage of freeze-dried foods and the main reason backpackers and outdoorsmen have been using them for so long is their compact size. Freeze dried foods are available in our online store in both #10 cans and in mylar foil pouches. The pouches are extremely compact making them ideal for a bug out bag, 72-hour kit, car kit, as well as long-term food storage. #10 cans are larger than individual pouches but are still compact enough that they won’t take up a ridiculous amount of space in your storage area. Six #10 cans come in a case box that is 19” x 13” x 7¼” and easily stackable.

Easy To Prepare

Freeze dried foods cook and reconstitute in 5-10 minutes and all you need to add is water. Hot water is preferable for taste but because the food is fully cooked already, you can add cold water in a pinch. So no matter where you are or what the situation when you need to use your emergency food supply, you know it won’t be time-consuming or difficult.

Require Fewer Resources

Less water and less fuel mean more long-term security in a survival situation. Freeze dried foods need only to be reconstituted and warmed up (ideally) and they require very little water compared with traditional cooking methods. At a time when water may be scarce, this is an important consideration. Freeze dried foods are ideal when paired with a fuel-efficient cooking tool like a Jetboil Stove.

Taste! Taste! Taste!

Comfort measures are not to be overlooked in a survival situation. The more comfortable and at ease you are, the less energy you burn and the better your chances of successful survival. Eating is such a big part of the human experience, a lot of comfort can come from having decent food. The 1-year emergency food supplies that we offer are the best tasting freeze-dried foods on the market. They retain their texture and flavor through the freeze-drying process so that once reconstituted you’ll have a meal that’s pretty close to home cooked.
