i read somewhere that big "natural" dog biscuits are better as emergency rations because you won't be nibbling on them while your waiting for the stop light to change. [/quote
Have never understood why kibble isn't more popular as a survival ration. It's nutritionally balanced, stores well, tolerates temperature variation, cheap, and available in 30 pound ziplock packaging. Palatability might be an issue, but that is true of MRE's, datrex and freeze-dried entree's also. Probably a good traction enhancer, too.
