People are willing to pay slightly more for supplies to survive a multiple day disaster than they are for a night of pounding shitty beer? Weird.

I doubt food is going to help a camping emergency. That’s more likely a situation for paramedics or storm shelters.

Those emergency food supplies are usually a rip-off. Half the servings tend to be drink mixes. You could buy lemonade or Tang mixes with 40+ servings that will last for years for less than $10.
This one has 12 servings of whey milk.

The average human has enough fat reserves to survive like a month, all you need is water and some salt.

Why don't you have emergency water set aside for cooking and hygiene?
Why don't you have multiple ways of gathering and purifying water?
You also don't have to heat the water, you can just cold soak it for a while.

If you don't also have an emergency supply of water and fuel I think you're going to have problems anyway.

The person buying emergency supplies is buying them once every few years at the very most. The person buying 30 racks of beer is likely buying at least two a week

It's the bullshit where they inflate the serving number, but then you look at the nutrition info panel and it says recommended serving size is 1/4th of an individual 8oz packet. And also more than a third of the advertised serving amount is whey powder.

is freeze dried mac and cheese better than regular mac and cheese?

[Anonymous No.19348185]

All the information is there on the packaging if you actually look for it, so it can't really be called false advertising. They've just got the hope that a big number on the front of the box will make it sell more to impulse buyers that don't stop for critical thought.

There are only two numbers that I care about when buying food: calories, fat, and price.
I always get the stuff with the most calories and fat for the lowest price.

There is no such thing as a bad buy or a bad buyer, only different preferences. That might sound like facebook mom wisdom but it really is the truth of it. Your preferences change all the time, depending on location and time of day even, hence prices changing throughout the day or convenience stores marking up prices for the, wait for it, convenience. There is a racist argument against blacks made over something you might have heard of called the marshmallow test, the marshmallow test seeks to test kids willingness to wait for increased dividends in the form of more marshmallows or eat their marshmallow immediately and get nothing else, this demonstrated the child’s time preference. High preference behavior (education, investing, planning) is associated with building wealth and low time preference behavior (instant gratification, gambling, recklessness) is associated with poverty and both these things may be true/for a good reason. What is wrong is thinking that either is any more valid than the other, everyone’s time preferences are low or high at some point. If you were going to die in an hour you would become extremely low time preference. Your time preference changes as you age, typically it is lower as a kid, higher in middle age, and then low again in retirement.

Kind of a long and nerdy way to explain that you should just do whatever you feel like, but it needs to be said apparently

Oil, salt, sugar, rice, legumes

Literally all you need. Buy 2 50lbs sacks of legumes, and two of rice, flour or some other grain you enjoy. When you finish a bag of one, buy another. Then you'll always have at least 100lbs of food in reserve. Buy like 5 1lb boxes of salt, and 10 liter bottlea of oil. Every time you finish one, buy another. First in, first out of course. You now have a basic emergency food supply using pantry staples you're already eating anyway, you're cycling it out so nothing ever goes bad, and you're saving money because you're buying in bulk. Vitamins are all you really need to add. I'm not a doomsday weirdo, but keeping a couple months worth of food around is just a sensible thing to do. Never know when natural disaster, supply chain disruption or financial emergencies will happen.

Food kits are a scam.

Studying psychology, not even once. This is what it turns you into.

[Anonymous No.19348623]

>>19348609
That’s economics, psychology is pretty intertwined with it though. Psychology is also a good analog for economics since it is also run by hacks that want to fix and game it as opposed to philosophically and holistically treating it.

You're likely going to need some kind of heat source to prepare any type of emergency food.

freeze dried stuff lasts forever though
crackers go stale and bad in a few years and while i've had decades old cans i wouldn't want to push it past maybe 20 years

you just need water for freeze dried food and you should have a supply of water on hand anyway
obviously it tastes better heated but it's not required

[Anonymous No.19351969]

>>19350237
So you occasionally eat the canned food and crackers to rotate it out with fresher stuff.
