I haven't tried this yet, but hear that parched corn is a fantastic old time survival food. It supposedly keeps for a long time, is nutritious, provides fiber, and a handful can keep you going for a while. It was a favorite of the American Indians.

They are called Corn Nuts. They are a favorite of mine too, particularly the limon picante flavor. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

For myself I store about 50-lbs each of dried beans and rice, which taken together is a complete protein source. Also alot of dried milk, oatmeal, noodles all of which I cycle through and replace as I use.

I figure this is a good start, from which I can supplement as opportunity arises.

What do you use for survival rations during travel? Do you keep anything on your person as edc survival food?

There were some good things in the C-rations (US Army, 1973-1982). My favorite was the chocolate disk. The canned food needed to be heated to taste good. Our mess hall used metal trash cans and immersion heaters to heat the cans. When we were in the field we would get them for lunch. There was no way we could heat them without getting in trouble and they did not taste very good then. The store bought MREs I have tried are not very good! I'd rather have C-rations.
