Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Jim Ausfahl has created one of the most detailed and meticulously organized meal recipe lists for long-term bulk dry & freeze-dried goods. He has
created these recipes in single-serving sizes, designed as DIY meals for a Bug Out Bag. However, his measurements and instructions can easily be scaled up to meet the needs of families who are preparing bulk dry or freeze-dried ingredients in a BUG IN scenario as well.

The recipes here are all constructed to be added to one cup (240 ml) of water and cooked until the water is fully absorbed; they are then ready to consume. Ingredient for these meals are readily available through a variety of supplies and are items that suitable for long-term dry storage packed away in a Bug Out Bag.
Sample of suggested ingredients include Amaranth, Barley, Buckwheat, Bulgur, Cracked Wheat, Dried Garbanzos, Lentils, Potatoes, Quinoa, Rice,
Wild Rice, Oatmeal, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Freeze Dried Fruits, Freeze Dried Vegetables, and more.
