Emergency Food

We are only allowed to do promotions when our distributor tells us we can, as we're under Minimum Advertised Pricing rules. That being said, people can PM us if they want to check into pricing options. I will PM you :)
 
Any chance you will stock other brands? I am building up emergency supplies, but I really need a meat option, and it seems you don't carry meat emergency food.

There's an issue with importing freeze-dried meats, so it's tough to come by. I know our distributor is working on it, and when there is one, we'll provide it.

In the meantime, we do supply MRE's. The 12-pack of 3-course MREs has meat options (the 6-pack of 2-course meals is veggie).

We have trial packs of MREs and sample packs of Legacy Emergency Food at:
https://www.ammosupply.ca/shop/kit/269/

I also highly recommend the Meal Replacement Shakes at the bottom of this page:
https://www.ammosupply.ca/shop/kit/210/
They contain everything that people need in terms of vitamins, minerals, protein, etc. And the ingredients are pretty impressive.
 
Just a heads up - Legacy food is imported from the USA and, as such, is being affected by the US Dollar exchange. Pricing will be increasing very shortly (and we're bound by minimum advertised price). Now is a good time to buy our current stock at current pricing!
 
Those ready to eat meals bring me back to my days in the Forces. Can't say that I miss field rations much, but if I had to choose 1 to eat again, it would be the salisbury steak.
 
I grabbed my order from Kate today and was extremely pleased with the legacy food and MRE sample packs.

Each $20 box comes with 2-3 course meals, 1-2 course meal, 3 peanut butter bars and 3 chocolate bars.
So far I've only tried the soldier fuel bars and they taste excellent. I will buy from ammo supply again.

Really happy with mine just need some fruit and I'm kinda set
 
I really wanted to try the $20 trial pack but over $15 shipping on a $20 item is a bit too steep for me.

PM me with your postal code and we'll see what we can do! Our shipping calc only checks Canpar, but for non ammo items, we can ship Canada Post.
 
I wish some company would come up with a sample pack that would include one of everything.
Would be nice to try before you buy bulk.
 
Do people here in Canada buy this for camping/hunting convenience or do we actually have paranoid bunker dwelling preppers North of the border too?

Hahaha! You'll find the answer is yes to both of the above. BUT with the caveat that there's somewhere in the middle too. The Canadian government *does* recommend that all Canadians keep 72 hours of emergency food/water etc. We do have earthquakes, floods and other potential emergencies.

A couple of years ago in Calgary people were queuing up at the supermarkets to buy emergency provisions - bottled water, canned food. It's nice not to have to be one of those people.

Unfortunately it is this perception, perpetrated by crap shows like NatGeo Doomsday Preppers, that make it unfashionable or 'paranoid' to be prepared for emergencies.

You should ask people from Slave Lake or High River if they would have rather had supplies ready to throw into the back of their truck on a moment's notice, so that they could be independent for a few days or a week. Maybe some of them enjoyed sleeping and eating in the emergency centers set up in school gymnasiums with cots a few feet apart.

People who lose their jobs would probably also be happier having some "stockpiled" groceries and toiletries so that their EI payments can focus on mortgage and car payments instead of day-to-day expenses.

Just a thought.

Very well said AmmoSupply Kate and Dangphool. Being prepared for an emergency does not necessarily make one a "paranoid bunker dwelling prepper". I consider it to be a type of insurance. As the old saying goes, I would rather have something and not need it, than need something and not have it.

A wise investment in my opinion.
 
I know one of the minor things I use the stuff for is vehicle emergency kits. I made a rubbermade tote for each mine and the wife's truck. Inside is some basics (blankets, mittens, knife, flashlight etc) but I also tossed 2 MRE's into each. I know we've been stuck in a LONG line waiting for an avalanche to be cleared off the highway, I tell you eating some hot food sure made it nice
