By placing this large an order FEMA has made it very dificult for those planning to take care of themselves in the event of martial law.

I don’t consider myself paranoid, just observant.

Stock up at the store on canned goods if you cannot get freeze dried foods.

Dehydrating food is one of the simplest preservation methods there is. Don’t worry, prepare.

Reminiscent of the reports before Desert Storm about DoD "ordering 50 thousand body bags to be delivered to the Middle East!"

"FEMA has rushed a $1 Billion order of dehydrated food in the event of attacks on domestic targets in the US." OK, but how will the powered milk and cheese will protect us from the zombie hordes?

I posted it on 2/28

Not that I mind a repost, In fact I think its a good thing for lots of people to know that the government itself is getting nervous about how things are going.

For those who wish you can download my Preparedness Manual at:

http://www.mediafire.com/?zx5772aa15x6xga

Also checkout our own ChocChipCookie’s Survival Mom Blog

http://thesurvivalmom.com/

Both ChocChipCookie’s site and my manual have tips and instruction on dehydrating your own food, which you can then vaccuum seal in jars add an oxygen absorber and you have some long term storage food fairly cheap. I myself catch frozen vegs on sale and dehydrate them saves time!

If you follow these things at all, you will know that the premier maker of freeze dried foods has been sold out for weeks now. Distributors cannot even get their hands on the goods.

Something is up.

Perhaps this is the best?

Dear Valued Customers:
As you know we have removed #10 cans from our website temporarily. The reason for this is sales of #10 cans have continued to increase. OFD is allocating as much production capacity as possible to this market segment, but we must maintain capacity for our other market segments as well.
Currently we are able to meet demand for Mountain House pouches and most of these products are still available for purchase on our website. We do have a small number of dealers that we will continue to make and ship #10 cans to and you will need to contact them directly to place an order. For a list of dealers, please contact us at MH-Info@ofd.com
We want to clarify inaccurate information that is being said on the internet, news and radio. This situation is not due to sales to the government domestically or internationally. We do sell products to this market, but we also sell other market segments, including Ingredient and Private Brand markets. The reason for this decision is solely due to an unexpected sales spike in #10 cans sales.
We expect this situation to be necessary for several months although this isn’t a guarantee. We will update this information as soon as we know more. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We sincerely hope you will continue to be Mountain House customers in the future.

Very interesting. As the economic crisis worsens, there is increasing talk about what one might need to survive.

The only outside source cited is the Beaufort Observer. But that turns out to be a letter from a reader to the on-line edition. So, it may or may not be real. I wish they had done a little more fact checking for this article, although that certainly doesn’t disprove it.

Letter from Mountain House confirming that they have to stop sell and place things on back order. Also our own ChocChipCookie wrote about this over on her site:

Why the picture showing the cop harassing the Obama voters? I don’t agree with them but they do have the right to vote. ;-)
