We have been told time and again that preparedness is one of the basics of survival and if there is one thing a prepper or survivalist needs it is food. That is a given.

While we will have our pantry of canned and pre-prepped items, even that great garden in the backyard – for those who have room for a garden – it never hurts to learn something new and have another source of food just in case it is needed.

In this time of plenty that does not seem important but when the grid goes down and when food is scarce having a high calorie emergency food at the ready will be important. Also, when you're just trying to find butter and milk and that turns into a week-long excursion, and not to mention you're also busy guarding your home against aggressive attacks and you're worried about having power, electrical or otherwise, you'll be thankful you have bars to keep your stomach full.
