I bought a 3 month supply of 25 year shelf-life survival food and gave 1/2 of it to my in-laws as a gift. They are avid outdoors-people including hunting and fishing for much of their protein. They appreciate being self-reliant. To my surprise they were talking about bringing this with them when they go on fishing outings. I was a bit surprised and told them this really was designed as survival food they store in a cool dry place and forget about until/if they need it. Not really a grab and go meal while camping.
It really isn't a big deal to me certainly the gift wasn't given with any strings. But does anyone here treat survival food like this? I can understand maybe 20 years into the 25 to start eating it and replacing it but the clock for this batch just started.
I have sampled it as a quality check and it is quite good but the rest of mine will not be eaten unless needed for (actual) survival.
