    I am a school teacher and I'm currently between homes, I live out the back of my pickup truck and these are quick and easy food ideas for me that don't need Refrigeration or a whole lot of prep work. This is wonderful, keep up the great work!!

      Word of advice: Don’t tell the world your job or living arrangements. Would make you a target for the unknown. Remember the new laws they just passed last weekend. Stop light laws ( color)

    I have added peanut butter packets to mine. I know that some people are allergic though. Also, single packs of honey are great too. You can find these at some Walmarts. I know you are trying not to have to heat water, but, for me, I include oatmeal packets, instant coffee packs, and electrolytes.
    THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!

    I have a quart size Ziploc that I carry with me in my (Big) purse when I'm out for the day. We live 30-45 mins away from two different towns, so, when I'm going to shop I do everything that day and it's usually all day. This way I have food to tide me over until I get home. And I always have an insulated bottle of water! 😊

We also have a bag of pistachios, freeze-dried veggies, plastic wear, & heating packs from an old MRE kit. The box has handles for easy carrying and it is stashed with a freeze-dried fruit bucket and a case of water.

    Trail mix and individual cans of baked beans and packs of dry fruit would be good. You can get Dinty More fully cooked shelf stble packaging that could conserve water and add variety. Flavored rice comes precooked and shelf stable. Small juice cans could also be considered.

      @brendanelson1027 6 месяцев назад +2

      I create meal sized amounts of my cats' & dog's dry food in ziploc bags for our petsitters. For this idea, I would use the vacuum seal bag, add the appropriate dry food, add a couple pouches of wet food for the cats, a chew treat for the dog & vacuum seal each up. If I needed a feeding bowl, I would add a clean,recycled TV dinner tray to each pack before vacuum sealing.

      I was thinking the same thing. Maybe keep the leavened packets separate from the start? Protein will definitely be an issue for me as most packaged meat is unclean. Homemade jerky would be the best way around that. Blessings to you.
