Idiots Hoarding Toilet Paper Again

[Bozz10mm]

Bozz10mm,

Do you happen to know what the average "shelf life" of MRE is??

yours, satx

From research I have done, the claim is 3 to 5 years when stored at below 80° F. In my personal opinion, I think they will remain edible far beyond that, maybe up to 10 years or more. From what I've seen all over the interwebs, there is no definitive expiration date as long as the seal is not broken and there is no swelling of the packet. I recently disposed of some 16 year old MREs that had been stored in a fridge at 40° since 2006. They still looked fine, but I did not taste test them. Since I recently ordered some fresh MREs, I just decided to get rid of the oldest.

I got a fresh case sitting in the closet and a line on a couple more. It's a TP gold mine.

I'm holding on to them for a worst case scenario when the water is not running from the tap and I must resort to this.

Went to my HEB yesterday, plenty of TP but Academy and ammo a whole different story.

Jimmy,

I also went to HEB yesterday PM & found SOME TP on the shelves but FEW paper towels available.
NO smoked pork chops or smoked neck bones for sale at all.
(I often use both for seasoning beans/soup.)

NOTE: The ONLY items that I saw "rationed" was RAW brisket & large frozen bags of chitterlings.
(I do NOT cook/eat chitterlings, as I cannot abide the SMELL.)

Right now, I'm not looking for ammo right now but would buy some more primers, IF I should see any for sale.

yours, satx

Primers are harder to find for sure. I heard Winchester is only at 80% production of their ammo due to lack of them.

Bozz10mm,

THANKS for the info.

While I'm NOT fond of "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians", I guess that I ought to buy a few cases for emergency rations.

Yup. Not surprising either.

You do know that ammo & toilet paper are not interchangeable - right?

umm, aka sausage casings

 

[Aus_Schwaben]

Toilet paper, who still uses toilet paper and not seashells?

Only because they do not know how to use the sea shells. They must have missed that day in their "white privilege studies" when the function and use of the sea shells were taught.

Navy beans and cornbread. Now that is hard to beat.

 

[oldag]

Well, at least people can't start hoarding ammo. There ain't any to hoard.

That sounds GOOD.

Navy beans and cornbread. Now that is hard to beat.

oldag; All,

To All: FWIW, my recipe for navy beans is REALLY simple - Dry Navy beans soaked overnight, smoked pork, one onion roughly chopped & black pepper.
Cooked until tender. - That's IT.
(Fyi, I used to "fancy it up a bit" but my lady & most of our friends like it BEST really "plain Jane", as above.)

My fried cornbread recipe is really SIMPLE, too: 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, one egg (beaten), 1/4 teaspoon of salt & STIR-IN enough milk to make a batter that is as thick/thin as you want it to be.
Put batter, by serving spoon fulls, into a preheated frying pan with about 1/4 inch of grease & fry until as dark as you want.
SERVE with butter.
(MAKE LOTS, as these very simple/quick to make fritters DISAPPEAR as if by magic.)

ADDENDA: The only "hillbilly food" that I cook that disappears FASTER than corn fritters is thick slices of eggplant, dipped into a beaten raw egg, dredged in cornmeal & pan-fried in bacon grease.

Fwiw, I finally "smartened up", bought a BIG/DEEP electric skillet from the Goodwill Store & cook the eggplant rounds AT THE TABLE, as otherwise I have to eat AFTER everyone else has eaten
(Fried eggplant is BEST when served scalding hot, straight from the frying pan.)
