Can't I just buy a cylinder of quakers oatmeal and vacuum seal it? It would suck, but that would likely last me longer than 3 days.
They are packaging the food without oxygen (using nitrogen and/or absorber packets) so that nothing organic can possibly reproduce and no oxidation can occur. Yes a good vacuum seal will get most foods to last a long time but not the 20+ years you get when you properly remove ALL the oxygen. Normal dry goods properly stored will last 3-5 years, if you plan to use the food before that then yeah this kind of emergency kit is overpriced.

No, my strategy is to hunt down the preppers and take their stuff.
