Buy the book, if for nothing but the way to properly dehydrate ground beef. Properly spiced it’s a great snack food on the trail. Keeps forever in the refrigerator, lasts over a week on the trail. Haven’t tried freezing it; not sure it’s a good idea.
With their book, you can plan out and store the meals necessary for a 14-day bug-out, which is what FEMA is now recommending. A friend of mine who deployed to Florida this fall to provide assistance on site was told to take 10 days supply including water.
So kitting up a decent supply of food is essential if you’re going to be bugging out. Trust me; the Datrex bars and similar ilk get really old really fast. You could die of taste fatigue. One sure moral booster / maintainer is food you like and are familiar with. Especially if you have kids bugging along.
