Whatever's at Dollar Tree.

jars, bucket, plaid man is back...

rice and beans are great

provided you have plenty of clean water
and a heat source along with plenty
of time to make them edible.

they should be a small part of your plan

not a major part of your plan

Pasta, canned meats, canned fruit. Recently I have started to like MRE's again as well

Nobody asked you to click the topic. And if you watched the video you'd see that I pressure can my beans making the edible right out of the jar.

You need clean water and a fire to cook the beans or you’ll end up poisoning yourself

MRE's are very temprature sensitive. Plus read the ingredients! Something out of Dow Chemicals dumpster!

Inexpensive addition you will be glad you have is bouillon, soup base.
Any of your ingredients mixed together will be better for having some to add.
I put away a gallon jar of loose salt based about 10 years ago. Have been using it since then still have a quart left. It doesn't go bad and it's indispensable for flavor.

This is good and also any spices that aren't fresh...you need to get some freshly dried herbs and spices. Anything that will make game taste better or varmints taste better should be stored.

You should invest in a good book on nutrition. There are several sources of vitamins you can get from foraging. Rose hips, those left over bulbs after the flower has blown, can be gathered up and made into rose hip tea that is FULL of vitamin C! And it tastes pretty good too.

This guy knows nothing about survival
