Survival Food Bars/Food Rations Review
http://selfrelianceadventures.blogspot.com/2009/02/survival-food-barsfood-rations-review.html

Ever wondered what those survival food bars taste like? Are they all the same or is one brand better tasting than the others? Well my little group of ladies decided to have a taste test and lucky you, we're sharing the results with you!

I ordered one of each 2400 calorie food bar from Emergency Essentials--Datrex, SOS, and Mainstay brands. They cost $4.95 each plus shipping, and some varieties are also available in 1200 and 3600 calorie packs. (Following picture: SOS top left, Datrex top right, Mainstay bottom.)

Image Have you ever wanted to make your own survival food bars? Like the survival food bars the stores sell, but homemade survival bars so you know what’s in them. Well, I got together with a few friends to make some homemade survival food bars and here’s how it turned out. Make sure to read through the comments when you’re done for some suggestions on making them better!

Apparently there are a couple of different recipes out there for these survival bars, we just used one I had been given by a food storage lady. This was really an interesting experiment, because there were 6 of us making these survival bread loaves, and of course they turned out 6 different ways. We’ll discuss what happened as we go through the directions. ---CONTINUED---

Make Your Own Homemade Survival Bars –Improved Recipe!
http://foodstorageandsurvival.com/make-your-own-homemade-survival-bars-even-better/

You may remember that almost five years ago we made these homemade survival bars. With approximately 2000 calories total, low cost, and long shelf life, these are a fantastic addition to your vehicle emergency kit or 72 hour kit. But there were some problems. Holy cow, they were hard to mix. Then they overcooked a bit and stuck to the pan. And finally, how in the world are you supposed to eat that brick? There were lots of suggestions in the comments to alleviate some of these problems, so I did some testing and today I’m sharing the results so you can make your own homemade survival bars even better! ---CONTINUED---
