10 of 15 (=2/3s od the people), or 10-15%? No way you can get away with just 15% infection rate. No way.

I can sometimes go two months before changing them if we don't use a lot of water but during the second month you really start to notice the restricted flow.

"Yeah, but they're damned expensive."

"So? MRE's can withstand parachute drops of 1200 feet."

"......"

My proposal is to keep a few large caches of food supplies that are simply cans and sealed dry food goods in a few (2~5) storage totes.

Simply fill the containers with canned food, such as
Spam.
Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables.
Protein or fruit bars.
Dry cereal or granola.
Peanut butter.
Dried fruit.
Canned juices.
Non-perishable pasteurized milk.
High energy foods.

Then use the food from one of the containers as everyday stores. When the container is empty, buy supplies and fill it back up, move it to the end, and start pulling supplies from the next container. This way you would use them gradually so they don't get old and keep an emergency supply at the same time. This would be way cheapers than MREs, and tastier, and you would always have a fresh supply of grub in case of hurricane, power grid failure, or alien invasion.

Don't forget to include a can opener.

Well I can see this thread has revived quite nicely.

Recently set up my grocery stockpile for two weeks of groceries and have another week's worth of food packed up in a "bugout bag" of sorts. From where I live now, I can make a walk to the family home in 3-4 days at the most if I absolutely had to.

Hoping it doesn't come to that, but I've got food, water, medical supplies, VHF/UHF radio, propane stove, tent, etc all packed up with my plate carrier and rifle. I'm not going to be caught out if I do have to skip town for whatever reason. :ping:

Which mean there will never be any society after and no supply of food the rest of my or our life.

But what do I know.

I doubt it will come to having to bug out, it's not that kind of apocalypse.
