I had posted my SHTF bag's contents a while back and someone stated that for my purposes (7 days of survival out of a single bag, bug in, bug out, whatever) I was light on food. I was originally carrying 3 MRE (entrees only), a 3600 Mainstay food ration, and 8 Quaker chocolate chunk granola bars (the skinny ones).
So, I ordered 2 of the 2400 Mainstay food rations to throw in there. My question is, would the Mainstay rations fit the bill? With 1 of the 3600 and 2 of the 2400 bars in there, plus the granola bars, would the MRE entrees even be necessary?
I know the human body can SURVIVE without food for even longer than a week, but at a cost. So, I'd rather have food in there to last me.
