Somehow, I don’t think I could bring myself to believe that society is about to collapse unless I was able to walk down every shopping aisle and see it. When we get half an inch of snow, the stores may be short of bread and kerosene for a couple of days, but you don’t have half-mile lines and black markets in bread and kerosene. That takes time. That takes a kind of sustained, deepening panic that hysterical 2nd-page headlines can’t generate. I’ve been cought off guard by two major hurricanes and a couple of tornadoes, but I was able to hold out each time, although charity for victims of natural disasters is a good idea. A creeping politcal malaise peters out after a while, too. Elected officials terms end, and people vent their frustration. Don’t load up on too many MRE’s, because five years of trying to live off spoiled MRE’s may not be a life worth living, if things ever got that bad in the first place.
If you aren’t going to finish those MREs, can I have em? Life might get rough for a while, but I fully intend to fight through it to better days.
Check this guy out! He even admits that he has been caught off guard by two major hurricanes and a couple of tornadoes and he still sees no need for prepping! As Bugs Bunny would say: “What a maroon!”
Let me guess, you live/lived in New Orleans......

I think you are missing the point on MREs.
MREs are for keeping in the vehicles and bug-out bags for emergency travel, not for long term survival.

The crackers and spread should be just fine!
