Welcome Newguy!!!

We try to keep it simple, mainly canned foods (thick with meat/potato soup, chilli, Spam, etc), with maybe a few MRE's and dehydrated goodies throw in for good measure. A couple of weeks ago we rotated (a little late I will admit) our vehicle food stash, and I tried some Spam and Campbells soups that had been in our vehicle for waaayyyy over a year. Tasted as good as they ever do (if "good" is possible with Spam).

Candies I do not feel are all that great an idea, except for moral purposes, the sugar high you get is short lived, then you crash.

We have some Mainstay rations that are stuck in just for the heck of it, haven't opened them, so I can not comment on their taste, etc...
