Just read through all the nutritional values of the meals. Not one has more than 34% of your DV in sodium. Most are around 20% or less.

either your math fu or my math fu is weak. I did the calculations above, quoted below:

Just looking up sodium numbers on the Augason Farms pail, for everything except the banana chips, oatmeal and cream of wheat, these are calories and sodium per serving:

Spanish Rice: 200 calories, 730mg sodium
Cheesy Broccoli: 250 cal, 640mg sodium
Fettuccine Alfredo: 350 cal, 670mg sodium
Buttermilk pancakes, 150 cal, 650mg sodium
Lowfat Moos Milk Alternative: 70 cal, 115mg sodium
Creamy potato soup: 220 cal, 630mg sodium
Hearty chicken vegetable: 200 cal, 590 mg sodium

The math works out to 2.865 mg of sodium per calorie, so eating 2000 calories per day that's a whopping 5729 mg sodium. The current American Heart Association guideline is 1,500 mg sodium/day, with a max of 2,300/day. So double that.

And that's before any nitrates etc that are in this kit.

I was looking at these again the other day, but just can't convince myself to drop a couple grand on one. Maybe on the next round of 'stimulus'. I would like one with bidens face as the display, and the cycle is done when the eyes turn completely black.

I kinda backed off the last few years on my stock of canned goods, water, meds, gas. I know, shame on me!
I just did inventory and I’m restocking now

That’s a very different selection of food than the bucket I calculated, which explains the difference. I was using the bucket listed in the earlier post on page 1.

I just opened their 4 week kits and pulled the info. I didn't use every meal and it is true you will go through sodium a lot faster in a SHTF situation.

It is a dayton but $700 is a bit much for me right now. I have a grain mill that at some point I would like to motorize . I just looked it up again and Granger site popped up ... They could have one the end of September ... 750.00 . This is a gear motor 59 rpm . When milling grain if there is too much speed the flour heats up and one starts destroying the integrity of the flour. .. As far as making bread. With the proper pulley system one could slow this mill down a lot. I do have a large flywheel on it now. (hand crank..)
This fellow has done this with same mill .. Motorize it.. Seems to be running pretty fast

They would kill the nukes before they ran out of diesel. Kill not shut down, if that's what it came to.

You can shut a reactor down in seconds.

But the fuel requires active cooling for months.

So, unless you're going to pull it all out of the core and spread it in a thin layer all around the parking lot, you still need power.

Even the spent fuel from the last run of the reactor needs active cooling or it will boil the storage pool dry.

Whatever motor is used on the grain mill IMO the mill itself would need to have the housing retrofitted with sealed bearings if you plan on turning faster than hand cranking speed or for long periods of time.
