The Army limits restricted rations of roughly 1,100 to 1,500 calories to about 10 days. In a 30-day Army field test, soldiers eating 3 MREs a day lost 4.8% of their body weight, twice as much as soldiers on hot meals. One freeze-dried kit needs 7.5 gallons of water just to make the food. So how many days is that bucket in your closet really worth? Subscribe to the channel: @rangerrickus In this video, we talk about the seven numbers that decide how long a 30-day emergency food supply really lasts, including the calories per day on the label and the Wise Company settlement that drew a 2,000-calorie line, your household's real day count, protein grams against the military's ration floor, the gallons of water and the sodium in freeze-dried meals, the storage temperature behind a 25-year shelf life, cooking minutes and propane cylinders, and the share of their rations soldiers actually eat.
