That's what 3 years worth of food for a single person for roughly $1000 a year. Or put another way, $2.90 per day to feed a single person for 3 years.

That doesn't seen unattractive to me, if the food is worth eating. I know some of the freeze dried foods are quite good, companies have been making such foods for back packers and such for over 30 years, which I have used for those 30 years, and the quality has definately improve since the 1970's. Plus a 25 year shelf life isn't bad either.

Yup, and a lil solar generator as well. Seems like a reasonable deal once broken down. TheKentuckian Feb 2013 #7
