Freeze-Dried Storage Foods

Or Why Should You Have Them

With natural disasters occurring more frequently such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc., an emergency food storage is added insurance for peace of mind and gives one time to make sensible decisions without the added tensions of having no food when our fragile food distribution lines are interrupted.

This can occur with strikes, a total stock market collapse, or just getting laid-off your job. When an emergency happens of this magnitude, then you are better equipped to make decisions not having to worry about feeding your family. In a major disaster, the first three days are, according to Civil Defense Management Teams, the most critical.

72-Hour Preparedness

You need two items:  Water and food stored for 72-hours. All emergency defense manage systems have learned that it takes 72-hours at least before a rescue team can get to you in most emergency situations. This can occur in hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and a host of other dire circumstances our planet is undergoing with increasing frequency.

Water Preparedness

You also need water stored for at least 2 weeks; 2-gal. per day per individual in your house, shed, etc. You can get buy, according to the U. S. National Civil Defense on 14-gal. for a two-week period.

That's a gallon a week per individual; but this goes for just drinking and cooking.  two quarts for drinking and two quarts for cooking every day for two-weeks for each individual in your household. Some can be used for minor washing--such as tooth brushing and face washing.

To make life more pleasant and viable, the National Civil Defense now recommends 14-gallons per week per individual. This is metered out as follows:

  • Two-quarts per day per individual for drinking. That's 8, 8-ounce glasses per day.
  • Two-quarts per day per individual for cooking.
  • Four-quarts per day for brushing teeth; washing body and necessary clothes .

In matters of food, it is highly recommended you have least, the very least, food storage for three-months and water for two-weeks.

Long Term Preparedness

However, because of what is coming our way--if you have read the articles on this Web Site, then you are better advised to have food now for two-years stored--See our Survival and Fumigation of Grains at Menu.

Many top financial advisors and survivalists in their books and newsletters were advising one year at recently as last year. Now, they, and We too advise for two-years. This will be a long hard siege with little respite in store for us for nearly that many months. Read Total Collapse from our Menu Page and you will see what we are talking about.

Freeze-Dried Storage Foods

For variety and entrees, We have chosen Mountain House® Foods. They are convenient and offer real meat in their packing and not just supplemental proteins that are combined to give you complete proteins such as beans and rice.

In an emergency, you need prepared foods and entrees that are ready to eat . Remember!  In the Coming Chastisement (which includes disruption of our fragile food supply lines, earthquakes, droughts, floods, ice storms, world-wide total collapse of our financial market...), you will need to have a food storage program in effect for two-years.

We also need to be reminded God said through His Holy Seers for over 16 centuries now--Have food and water on hand for The Three Days Darkness He is also going to send us.

You want not only foods in your food storage program that you prepare from grains such as wheat, oats, rice, rye, barley, and corn; or lentils (beans, peas, nuts).

But you want milk and egg ingredients too, along with other food stuffs. You also need food entrees, such as Rice & Chicken; Spaghetti w/Meat & Sauce; Sweet & Sour Pork w/Rice; Hearty Stew w/Beef, and entrees whereby all you do is add hot or cold water--foods that need little or no cooking to save on fuel under temporary harsh conditions.

You want convenient, already prepared meals that take little or no preparation except adding hot or cold water--especially if you have to run from the Great Comet prophesied for centuries to come. Virgin Mary said at Fątima in 1917, "Fire will fall from heaven and mingle with fire from earth."

Having this convenience makes life much more tolerable when there is no fuel or available food for several weeks or even longer, if you have to leave an area. You can carry single serve prepared entrees with you.

Mountain House® freeze-dried foods went to the Moon and are still used by NASA on Space Shuttle missions today. They are also are one of the few companies that have government food contracts with the U. S. Department of Agriculture for freeze drying real meats.

Mountain House® is one of the major brands used to fill the U.S. Military's freeze-dried food contracts. The military no longer eats the foods it used to eat under combat field conditions during W.W.II. The foods are tasty, nutritious, and offer wide variety for today's military personnel.

History of Mountain House®

Oregon Freeze Dry, the parent company of Mountain House® was incorporated in 1963, when they began drying fruit for a General Foods cereal. Later, they worked with the Department of Defense to develop and produce military rations that tasted better, weighed less, and were easier to prepare than canned rations.

By the early 1970's, they were marketing their own Mountain House®line of freeze-dried foods for outdoor recreational use in the 1980's, the Company grew rapidly as they began to manufacture private label packaged food products, and expanded their food ingredient line.

Why Choose Freeze-Dried Foods?

  1. Compared to Canned and Dehydrated Foods:

    1. Dehyrated and canned foods are shelf-stable, but high tempera- ture processing can degrade flavor, texture and nutritional content.
    2. Taste advantage--have a better taste and flavor over canned and dehydrated foods.
    3. Freeze-Dried retains the taste, texture, shape and appearance and color of fresh frozen foods.
    4. Locks in Freshness, vitamins, color, nutrients, and aroma of fresh frozen foods while providing shelf-stable convenience of canned and dehydrated foods.
    5. Freeze-dried foods can be stored at room temperature, without deterioration or spoilage. This is because freeze-drying and packaging remove both water and oxygen--the two primary causes of food deterioration. However, we suggest you store foods in a cool environment.
    6. Convenient--little or no cooking. Completely prepared and mixed ingredients (entrees).

  2. The Freeze-Drying Process:

    1. Fresh or cooked foods are flash frozen, then placed in a vacuum chamber.
    2. Approximately 98% of the food's moisture is drawn off by sublimation of the ice, at temperatures as low as -50°F. The food now weights 75-90% less. For example, 4 lbs. of fresh cut corn after freeze-drying weighs just 1 pound. 
      The foods are already prepared, just-add-water and eat! For the meat, just cover them in warm water for 15- 30 minutes; then sear on each side for a few minutes or cook your favorite way. They are then ready to eat. They come in #10 size cans with instructions printed on can for preparing of all their entrees; or, in Convenient Preparation Pouches (eat out of the pouch)that are compact and lightweight. These are stable for 3 - 5 years.
    3. The freeze-dried food is sealed in moisture-and-oxygen proof packaging, to ensure freshness until opened.
    4. When the water is replaced, the food regains its original fresh flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance.
