Friday has rolled around again; where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that I was writing the Survival Buzz. Anyway, today I am thrilled to let you know that Backdoor Survival sponsor, Buy Emergency Foods, is back again with another “Free Food Friday” giveaway.
This time around, the prize will be a 120 serving Legacy Foods Breakfast Bucket valued at $230. This fantastic food bucket includes a Multi Grain Cereal Mix, Maple Oatmeal with Brown Sugar, Strawberry Creamy Wheat, and Old Fashioned Pancake Mix. All are non-GMO, Vegetarian, and Kosher-certified so you know they are good.
More about the giveaway in a moment. First I want to tell you about a Legacy Foods product that I have been testing for my own long term storage.
Legacy Foods Meal Replacement Protein Shakes
Before I begin, I need to tell you that I am not a fan of liquid meal replacement shakes. That is a personal bias that is most likely due to being overweight as a teen and using “diet shakes” in an attempt to drop pounds. That said, that was then and this is now. Protein shakes are no longer a chemical factory in liquid form.
The Legacy Foods MegaOne meals are real food. They are made from 28 super foods that are vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO. Each serving provides 30 grams of protein and even more when mixed with milk instead of water.
The real question, though, is how do they taste? Of the three flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and super berry), I have only tried the chocolate. I found it to be chocolaty but not overly sweet. Someone with a sweet tooth may want to add some additional sweetener but I felt it was fine as is.
These shakes come in a Mylar bag and include an O2 absorber. They have a shelf life of over 10 years making them ideal for long term storage. Plus, if you are a fan of protein shakes or smoothies, you might want to consider using the MegaOne meals for daily use as well.

Bargain Bin: For your discernment, here are of some items mentioned today as well as some personal and BDS reader favorites.
Tac Force TF-705BK Tactical Assisted Opening Folding Knife 4.5-Inch Closed: This is a great knife that is currently priced at about $8.60 with free shipping. Not only that, it is ranked as the #1 best seller at Amazon in both the camping and hunting knives categories. The reviews raved about this knife so I bought one, used it, and and can recommend it. See The Inexpensive Tac-Force Speedster Outdoor Knife.
Note: the price can vary by color so if you are not particular, scroll through the colors and safe a couple of bucks.
Dorcy LED Wireless Motion Sensor Flood Lite: Don’t let the $20 price lead you to think this wireless flood light is wimpy. I have two of these and feel that these lights are worth double the price. Using D-cell batteries, the Dorcy floodlight will light up a dark room or a dark stairway in an instant. I can not recommend these enough.
Coghlans Waterproof Matches 10-pack: There are 10 boxes of 40 matches each for about $5. That is a good deal for 400 waterproof matches.
Morakniv Craftline Q Allround Fixed Blade Utility Knife: ANOTHER FAVORITE! Also known as the Mora 511, this is now my favorite knife. It is made of Swedish steel and is super sharp. Many Backdoor Survival have emailed me indicating this is now their favorite knife too. I paid $12 for this knife; it was worth $12 and of course is a steal at under $9.
FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight: FAVORITE! Here we go with another flashlight. At the time of this writing, this one is about $4.00 with free shipping. It is super mini sized, bright and waterproof. Plus, it uses a single, standard AA sized battery.
Blocklite Ultra Bright 9V LED Flashlight: I now own six of these little gems. There is a similar flashlight called the Pak-Lite (which is more expensive) but it does not have a high-low switch like this one. Less than $10. These little flashlights just go and go, plus, they make good use of those re-purposed 9V alkaline batteries that you have recharged with your Maximal Power FC999 Universal Battery Charger.
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter: The LifeStraw is considered the most advanced, compact, ultra light personal water filter available. It contains no chemicals or iodinated resin, no batteries and no moving parts to break or wear out. It weighs only 2oz. making it perfect for the prepper. There is also a larger sized LifeStraw Family currently available with free shipping.
AquaPodKit – Emergency Drinking Water Have you considered storing water in your bathtub? The AquaPod is a bladder that you can use in your bathtub to store water if you know that a storm, flood, or hurricane is brewing.
