HI,

Thank you everyone for the responses.

Re: Richlacal
Was looking to add to my longer-term shelter-in-place storage. Have a bit of canned goods we rotate through, but wanted to have a bit more longer shelf life items on hand.

Like the taste, but looking to add to my longer-term SIP storage. Like all of us, pretty limited resources so given the cost, it seemed a bit more economical to buy the cans, especially with two teenagers who go through food like it grew on trees (Ha, I crack me up).
Good observation, the cans themselves will always come in handy if dealing with a longer term issue.

Re: Basecamp
Thanks for the lead. Might order one to try it out. Wish I had a Costco membership -- may consider. I guess $50 isn't the end of the world.

Re: hikermor
Thanks. I have used the individual foil packs that I bought one-off for camping but never opened my cans (I only have four). I assumed (yes, I know what that means) it was just bulk packaged, not in individual bags. Since I've read MH is good 5-7 years in bags and 10-15 in cans, it never occurred to me that putting up the bags in a better sealed (probably oxygen depleted / sealed container might provide the extra shelf life. Duh. Hopefully, that's a lesson learned for me.

Re: LesSnyder
Thanks for the pointer and review. Will take a look at that.

Re: Blast
Thanks for the warning/review. I guess it's always buyer beware. I still may try a can or two.


All:
Thanks for the guidance. Just feeling in my gut a need to ramp up my food storage. It's weird how these feelings come over me at times.
