i just emailed mountain house to see what one would need to do to get dealer pricing with regard to minimum quantities/dollar totals. it sounds like food storage sales have gone through the roof all over the internet... nitro-pak is giving a 160 day time frame for orders to ship.

Let me know what you find out...

[camleish], I am sorry but we are not opening any new accounts at this time. We are not able to support any additional business at this time.

Sorry,
Melanie

sounds like a dang good time to be in the food storage business.

[Coach McGuirk]

check Wise Food. They have a good selection. Not sure on dealer pricing....

[Portland Ute]

Has anyone checked out Daily Bread?

They are located in Kaysville, UT. I guess their warehouse is in SLC.

Is this a reputable company?

Dang.

Wise foods looks like it'll be about 2500 LESS than Daily Bread for a year supply of 3 meals per day for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids.

Daily Bread is 9000+ for a year supply.

Ouch.

Be sure to check what you're getting. Most year supply are two meals about 2400 calories/day. 3 meals seems like a good deal to me.

1 year 3 meals for 2 adults 4 kids is $6,650.00
1 year 2 meals for 2 adults 4 kids is $4,495.00

Daily bread website doesn't offer pricing, but is endorsed by Glen Beck!

our supply is from daily bread, but was a gift and i would never pay that much for it.

I called Daily Bread. They claim to be located in Kaysville. Wise Food claims to be in Centerville.

I'm suprised there seems to be that much of a disparity.

I was quoted 9000+ for 2 adults and 3 kids for 3 meals/day for 12 months.

I'm going to have to talk to Wise Food.

The guy at Daily Bread says if we do a year, he'll throw in a bunch of free food, but not that much!

Daily Bread seems to have a much larger variety of entrees than Wise Food.

Hmm... That's almost 200/month difference. If not more.

I just found a Wise Food discount coupon for 10%.

I wonder if they'll let me apply the coupon and pick up the food at their warehouse if it's in Utah. Their HQ is in Centerville.

What do you recommend for a quality lighter?

It seems that the Brunton Firestorm is a bad ass lighter and is sold out most places. It seems that you can find one here.. I am just not sure that I want to drop $40 on a lighter.

Coach, what do you use?

Don't you have a little Benzomatic torch? I was just looking at a catalog that some Zippos in it and was looking at their pen torches. That Brunton looks cool. But $40 is expensive. The $15 Zippos seems pricy to me.

Yes I do but I am trying to piece together a bag, similar to what Coach has and what you are starting, and the torch is a bit chunky. You can find knock-off zippos for about $4.00/ea.

A cigar torch would probably work well. But it won't be waterproof like that one you linked.
