We like Patriot Supply.
One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.
Something you may miss....
I have a supply of potassium iodide.

Of course, if you live IN/around a big city, or near an ICBM farm (think dakotas or montana) then you won’t need the pills, as you will be vaporized.
meanwhile, we are sending F16s to Ukraine, the UK is sending long range missiles, etc. The US press is blissfully ignoring the new Dr StrangeLOVE (biden) who is ramping up WWIII
I just wish they didn’t use toxic oils.
But I guess when you have your head between the knees it’s not a time to get picky…
Try the local Mormon LDS church. They use to sell #10 cans of just about everything. Probably have web site
(The pass phrase to a very exclusive club)
Lol
You could’ve just searched for prepper and found this.

Maybe list the items you want….then, folks with buying experience, for said items, can chime in.
One of our top investments, for short and long term, have been a good sealer and Mylar bags (w/O2 absorbers).
👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t understand the value in freeze-dried food for emergencies, unless you had plenty of heat and water available, and limited storage space.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to stock up on quality canned food? If the can is not breached, that stuff can last for decades. Just open the lid and it’s ready to eat.
As a side note, I read that civilians who were caught up in the Kosovo War valued Dinty Moore beef stew above all else.
I purchased a solar powered ice cube maker that makes cubes in about 10 minutes. For when the power goes out and you need to keep food in the fridge.
There’s a FReeper (apologies, I can’t recall their name) who has invested in a freeze dry machine - pretty spendy, IIRC.
Anyhow….they prepare meals as they enjoy them (quality meats, ingredients, etc) and, then, freeze dry the leftovers as individual servings.
Hopefully, most will have access to some water source…a good Berry and a rocket or pocket stove.
Vaporized? That’s, umm, a revolting thought!
