a pound of steak for 20 clams I'll fucking pass


pound and half for lobster...... 80 clams I'll fucking pass

I should have stated that this is more on the high end, and much of it raw. This is not your Traveler's Stew from My Patriot Supply.

What has been your experience with them? What products have you tried?

These are the items I've purchased, but I haven't tried a single one. I had a friend try the pulled pork, and he said it was really good.

Canadian Prepper on YouTube did a review on this brand.

We have a comedian here!

Thanks Mark! I will place an order. Always nice to add to and get some variety to our preps.

Sounds good. I started looking at my preps a few years ago and said to myself - "Man, it would suck to actually have to eat this stuff long-term." So, started adding some proteins, spices, and ingredient-based items rather than prepared "meals".

I tried Thrive's dried meats, and their ground hamburger wasn't bad. I didn't like Thrive's freeze-dried chicken. It takes a lot of spices to get rid of that "old freezer" taste.

I like Thrive for their fruits, mostly. We're lucky around here to have the berries and such that we have, granted that's all dependent on time of year. Their citrus and other fruits have been the bulk of what we buy from them.

I reckon the flex of eating "fresh" surf & turf off your smoker outside Barter Town would be well worth the 100 bucks in 2023 money.

I have regularly bought stuff from them. They have thinga that no one else does.

CMica clearly has no clue what he is talking about as this is Freeze dried. Yes the lobster is 1.5 pounds of FREEZE DRIED lobster. That works out to closer to 4 pounds when rehydrated! And at $20 a pound is it cheap, nope, but for long-term storage and something special when the crap hits the fan Freeze dry provides lots of good options.

BTW Freeze Dry is a good source for spices that are packed for long-term storage. I don't bother with the vegetables as they are indeed over priced but the speciality stuff is where you can get some decent deals. Also, get ont he news letter as we many times get even better deals and announcements of stuff that tends to sell out quick.

BTW A better source for Fruits and Vegetables is North Bay Trading. Quality is very good on most things (there are a few that are only so-so.) The Bulk packaging means you can save some money especially if you can split the bulk packs.

Apologies if it's on the site but how long does it take to properly rehydrate a freeze dried sirloin steak?

Paris, from the website:
"This bag contains 5.25 ounces of freeze dried fully cooked Maine lobster claw and tail meat, which is the equivalent of 26-1/4 ounces (just over a pound and a half) of lobster meat out of the shell if purchased at your local fresh seafood market / seafood restaurant for take-out once rehydrated and ready for use. Each ounce of this fulled cooked Maine lobster will weigh approximately 5 ounces of freshly prepared Maine lobster tail and claw meat when rehydrated. This pack is probably the equivalent of between 4 to 5 live large Maine lobsters."

It seems most the proteins, and other fatty foods take the longest, at about 60mins. In the video Mark posted though, the guy didn't wait that long.
