Learn How to Pack Your Own

It

came to our attention today, that the world's largest producer of

storable foods, Mountain House, is currently out of stock of ALL

#10 cans of freeze dried foods, not just the Turkey

Tetrazzini (pictured right). They will NOT have product now through

ALL of 2009.

 

This information was learned by a Mountain House dealer who shared it

with me this morning. In personally talking with the company

immediately after, Mountain House verified the information is true.

Customer service stated, "I'm surprised they don't have this posted on

the website yet." She said they have such a backlog of orders, Mountain

House will not be taking any #10 can food requests through the

remainder of this year and all of the next.

 

Mountain

House claims this situation is due to a backlog of orders, which may

very well be true, but who is purchasing all of their food? This is a massive

global corporation.

 

One idea: the military. Tensions are ramping up with Iran and news segments debate

whether or not we will implement a preemptive strike in conjunction

with Israel.

 

This guess is further underscored by our experience at the Internet

Grocer. In early June we placed an order with them for Red Feather Real

Canned Butter. We brought this same canned butter back with us from

Australia – at about half the price. Now it's looking good at any

price. It took 6 weeks for the order to arrive due to a major buyout

from "the feds". Here is Internet Grocer's posted

message:

 

 

We're

told that the feds bought the entire container of canned butter when it

hit the California docks. (Something's up!) Butter arrived first week

of June. Get your Butter order in NOW to have yours set aside. We're

working to fill back-orders now.

 

 

If you dig further on the Internet Grocer

site, you find that the military did indeed purchase a large quantity

of Mountain House

foods, too. Internet Grocer however, is out of the loop on the extent

of Mountain House's backlog saying the delay will be 20 weeks, when it

is now extended to 76 weeks.

 

These

companies are not alone. People are finally awakened that time is

running out. In late May, Fox News aired a live preparedness seminar

and they warned people NOT to expect emergency supplies to be provided

by the government and that they need to be self-sufficient. Will you

be prepared?

 

SOLUTIONS

 

1. Some Mountain House dealers may still have #10 cans

available. You will need to locate them and contact them directly.... Search Online Dealers.

 

2. You might check with The Freeze

Dry Guy at 866.404.3663 (FOOD) to see if he has supplies available.

 

3. Always a great option, buy your own bulk foods and pack them for long-term storage. It's easy

and you'll have the knowledge at your fingertips whenever you want to

set food aside. It eliminates having to depend on vendor, trucker and

gouging grocers. You pack what you want to eat and in the quantity that

works best for your family.
