But pulling all those cans and boxes of dry mixes out of storage may not be viable if you're in a wildfire, hurricane or other emergent disaster situation and are forced to evacuate quickly. Every household should have a go-bag ready to, well, grab and go. That includes lightweight, easily transportable and extremely shelf stable food stores.
Which segues to @Edxzxz's question, to which he's received multiple answers. Yeah, sure it's fun to joke about end of the world, zombie-type apocalyptic scenarios. I'm as guilty of that as anyone (ufozs.com). But unless you're not following recent (and not so recent) events - things like California wildfires and mudslides, Hurricane Ian and even going back to Katrina all demonstrate the very real possibility of being forced to leave home and hearth quickly. And Katrina and Ian especially vividly showed that in a widespread regional disaster, you absolutely cannot count on the authorities to provide for your basic needs. Certainly not in the first 72 hours.
I actually hate terms like "bugging out", "SHTF" and other doomsday vernacular. It marginalizes what is a legitimate and very real contingency that many of us will face at least once in our lifetimes. Even the federal government recognizes that help will likely be at least 3 days away in large scale disasters. So they encourage every single household to have an emergency kit. And if you live in places like modern Japan, you'd be consider loony if you didn't have an earthquake/tsunami kit ready to go at a moment's notice.

And finally, to naysayers who argue what's the point in buying a bunch of over-priced food that you won't use for the next 25 years, I'd posit: how different is that from the thousands of dollars of auto, health, life and property insurance premiums we all "waste" over our lifetimes knowing full well we probably won't need most of it? Ditto for those smoke detectors you faithfully change the batteries in every year or so. If a measly 3 days of food, a change of clothes, RX meds and photocopies of your important papers aren't worth gathering in a grab and go kit, then surely insurance, smoke detectors and household fire extinguishers are a waste of money.
It's called managing risk and involves expending resources on things that - God willing - you'll never, ever use. Disaster preparedness isn't just for doomsday preppers anymore.

What dipshit math is this

The last bulk amount I got was a 10-lb Quaker box Costco and Sam's Club sells, that sometimes gets discounted. You could store it in buckets or half-gallon mason jars using oxygen absorbers. I've only done that with rice so far, but I'm thinking about dat oatmeal now.
I bought two but curious if anyone has one in hand. Is it 10 years+?

The value proposition for disaster preparation is a whole lot easier to see when these kits go on sale.
One thing I don't like about Augason Farms is their food is almost all carbs and practically no protein. For 3 days that's not going to kill anyone. But I have to wonder if that bucket can be opened without compromising the shelf life. I bet there's enough dead space in there for a few cans of chicken or tuna.
Regarding how 42 servings translates to 3 days of food. If you look at the 5 food items, they include banana chips and 2 kinds of soup. I imagine the banana chips are there for snacks and to add to the oatmeal. Likewise a couple cups of soup (i.e. equivalent to one bowl) would be needed to round the rice dish into something approaching a meal.
