Gotcha, some people don't get that about storing food. 30 days on green beans (also a favorite of mine) and tomatoes and you'll be one hungry fellow especially if you're doing hard work. On the other hand, 30 days of canned meat and you'll be stopped up worse then eating straight MRE's and that's a pain all its own.

In Owen Wister's "Virginian" he talks about carrying canned tomatoes on a ride where he knows the creek is dry and he won't have any water. Kind of a got to judge what you'll need by the situation.
