Food that lasts for twenty-five years is now ready for your survival if the worst happens!

The Wise Food Company has recognized that many are worrying about survival should the government collapse or some other disaster occur. I will be stocking up on steak and chops just in case, but I'm not sure that a twenty-five year span is necessary at my age...
 

My neighbor is well-armed, partially to prevent hoards of starving people from coming onto his property to steal his food when the disaster occurs. He is in his 70s, but as his parents lived until 99 and 103, he intends to be around in 25 years.

I just hope that in my lifetime, I never get to the point at which I'd be willing to kill a person to keep them away from my food.
 
Perhaps children would just be driven away or held and work for food...
 
We still have freeze dried food from y2k in the basement, should still be good until we die. I have no issue defending myself and my property from thieves, if I want to share anything with neighbors or strangers it will be completely voluntary.
 
The thing is, if Wise wasn't packaging this sort of food 25 years ago, why should anyone believe it will really last for 25 years? The TV commercial tickled me because they were cooking this food on an electric or gas stove. If a catastrophe so major happens we can't get safe food, what makes Wise think we will have electricity or gas? Or power saws to cut wood? Or that we won't need the pots and pans to bash our neighbors over the head when they send their children to steal our food they won't be able to cook on their stoves either?

I grew up during the Cold War nuclear war "terror" of fallout shelters and school evacuation drills.

No war.

I survived Y2K. The electricity did not even blink out.

Tornadoes have taken out the electricity some years and blocked cars in driveways. Snowstorms have done the same. I'm still here, and all in one piece.

I'm not worried about some huge national or regional catastrophe. One reason I just "want" to live at the beach. I don't actually live there.

I'm more worried about being shot by a looney woman who has a gun but no target practice experience who might panic seeing a man in the ladies' room and shoot me by mistake! Hopefully stores will soon start putting bullet-proof stalls in their rest rooms!

Call me a grasshopper if you will, but hey. Ants can't fly.

LOL
 
When my friends are reduced to eating their own horses, then I'll worry. So far they're not even breaking them to harness and hitching them to their cars, so the balloon hasn't gone up yet.
 
Hmm, maybe I should get a pig to eat the garbage and to eat if the end comes soon...

I've used y2k supplies that I started accumulating before y2k. No problems yet. Batteries lasted longer than I thought tucked away in rubbermaid tub but didn't last as long as some vitamins and medication. Some of the band aids, eh.

Exactly. You can't cover all of the bases. Stock up for 25 years and slip in the bath tub tomorrow. Great post, Guitarist, except that ants do fly once a year.
