Can powdered whey protein be stocked long term as an emergency food supply and substitute animal protein if there's none avaliable ?
EDIT: Asking on behalf of a couple friends who drink it every day in the gym and said they could fetch a good supply on short notice if it's useful.
Typical shelf life is between 9-19 months. Some say two years and reports of 3 years with no ill effects. It is a good source of protein and can definitely provide you with easy sustenance. I camp and hike with whey protein for emergencies. Light weight and packed with protein. Powdered eggs are a definite alternative. Freeze dried foods are expensive but worth it. The shelf life offsets the cost, most are labelled as 20-25 years, but in reality, as long as they are sealed and kept from moisture and oxygen, the shelf life is indefinite. Temperature is also a factor, cool and dry is a good food storage mantra.
Thank you and everyone who answered. I'll call my buddies and have me included in the purchase. They said the discounts are even bigger if bought in bulk.
Check out 4Patriots supply. Epoch Times is sponsored by them. They have a link in their page that gets some pretty fantastic bonus material. The solar kettle is very cool, plus 2 EA 72 hour freeze dried packs, plus some other really great stuff. The price as $597 plus tax, but tax is around $11 for food. I just bought a 3 month kit from Mypatriot supply, for the exact same price through a sponsor link through Bongino's website. I didnt get the bonus stuff. Kinda tempted to place another order, but its still $600 bucks even with free shipping. Not sure if im ready to throw another $600 down. The other difference is the kit is bought was 2k calories per day and the one with bonuses is 1500, not really a big deal for me, but it can be broken down by price per calories, do something to consider. Good luck!
