Hershey bars (unwrapped in a closed-tight container) in the dessert could be fondue with freeze dried fruit. I'm female, and my mind thinks of ways to enjoy chocolate. Heck - just pass me the spoon.
@@patriciaribaric3409 hahahaha I like it even a year later
This video reminds me that it is time to go through my emergency bucket in my vehicle. I have young grandchildren and my bucket has come in handy many times. I also keep large plastic coffee container with a good lid for potty emergencies. Everyone laughs at me, but it came in handy when stuck in traffic and my 6 year old granddaughter said she had to potty. Told her we would be somewhere in a few minutes and I heard a quiet voice from back there....."hope I don't poop my pants." I asked if she would sit on the container and go and she snatched it from me. (Little gal had to Go!) Handed her some baby wipes to clean herself, popped the lid on the container and opened the windows. Her only complaint was that her little brother did not give her any privacy. Hahahaha.
You are real preper you think just like me
Great idea to keep some food in the car along with first aid, tools, jacket, water emergency blanket, headlamp or torch and a knife of sorts. Stay safe Greg...
anyone driving a long distance, at least toss in a couple boxes of granola bars and a pack of water.
Another good addition is cereal
It isn't food, but "canned heat" is stable and will keep a long time. A simple flame source to heat water for your oatmeal and noodles could make a difference.
Yes matter of fact I use a Sterno Inferno Stove Kit in the vehicle to cook with so I keep a few of those sterno cans I rotate out from time to time in the vehicle as well, Good point!
@@Iridium242 the Sterno Inferno was a neat little kit. Too bad it's discontinued.
I might suggest lentils are a better choice than pintos. I love pintos but they do require more water and longer cooking than lentils.
All of this food is nice to have and can definitely help but digesting does use a lot of water. If you are stranded in the middle of no where during the summer, I would limit food intake and make sure you have PLENTY of water. Water is the most important prep always IMO
I live in Canada not far from Toronto (5th largest city in North America).
I have chastised some New Arrivals for not having a winter coat in their car in the winter. You can drive for an hour and find yourself a 6 to 12 hour walk from shelter and warmth in the winter, one of the reasons it is recommended you stay with your car if you skid off the road.
Even in the months when there is 'rough sledding' you can find yourself in a situation where you are a long way from anything that passes for Civilization, particularly if you go North or east into the Canadian Shield. Most Torontonians refer to as 'Cottage Country' (for obvious reasons). You can be on a secondary road (still paved and well maintained) and find yourself in a bad situation after a sever rain or wind storm with the road blocked or washed out. Emergency services will focus on the towns and cities and main roads first, before they check the secondary roads.
People don't seem or want to understand the weather where they live.
You probably live in an urban environment, but what was it like 100, 120 years ago?
All people see are paved roads and buildings.
A LOT of people have moved into the area where my family have lived for over 100 years, and they are amazed it gets to 100 deg. plus on a regular basis, 6 months out of the year.
They say "it's not the desert around here why's it so hot? "
What I'm getting at is, you're right to be mindful of what you pack in your vehicle.
Thanks for all the info you bring us, and sorry for being
looong winded. 😄
Kevin you are so right. When it’s a thousand degrees outdoors during the summer and everything, including thin plastic, melts in your car, give some thought as to how your car food is packaged. Same with water.
@@lyndasmith8747
ABSOLUTELY,
You're especially right about thin plastic and water. 👍
I take a half a cup of minute rice, and vacuum seal it. I tested just putting cold water in the bag. It didn’t take very long before it was rehydrated and it was fine to eat. Of course it would be better if you put hot water in it which I also did, it did not damage the bag.
I pack those 'boil-in-bag" rice packets. Same thing, its just individual packets of some sort of Minute Rice. Your way is probably cheaper, but I'm lazy. But you are right...no real need to boil, It will rehydrate is plain water. That is a plus since I use Sterno in my car emergency kit, the water would be hot but no need to worry about boiling.
Keeping it in an esky & wrapping in cloth as well could really make a difference to the shelf life!
I have good luck with little bags of unsalted pretzel sticks. They are basically mylar sealed already and handle temp extremes well. Gets the hunger off your back but not so appealing they get snatched before the tummy really starts to rumble. Unsalted to not provoke thirst.
I had M&Ms in Mres that are certainly stored in hot environments. Had no issues
I have very similar items in my kitchen box, except MRE and the beans.
I had one of those puffy bags of Hormel pepperoni in my pantry for ages. Finally took it out a month ago. It was over a year past its date and I figured it would be rancid. It was absolutely delicious. Turns out it has an oxygen absorber in it. I don't know how it would do in a hot environment, but in a pinch, I can imagine eating it on a cracker with some ketchup....
Have kept a few individually sealed water pouches, seems ok after 3 winters with temps below freezing
those Rehydration sachets I don't know about US here in UK we can buy them in a soluble tablet form packed in tubes just like soluble vitamins these tube are crush resistant water and air tight
Thank you for the great advice! Most people I know can not afford the high prices of the freeze dried foods now days!!! Everything is so expensive!!! I am a Senior Citizen and on SS and it has been a struggle to put back some canned foods!!!!
Great information. I keep water and I take food on road trips. Great video like always😊😊😊😊😊😊
Consider the opposite of heat, I live in Minnesota. In 2022 we went twenty days without breaking zero. Chocolate, beef sticks etc became concrete.
I keep rice or popcorn cakes with my peanut butter. There are individual serving pouches of peanut butter, too. There are individual serving cups of peanut butter. I dip the freeze dried fruit into the peanut butter. It is yummy.
I really appreciate this info about what things will last in my trunk. Thank you.
What about rice cakes to put stuff on, and squeezy honey with the peanut butter? Do you have metal bowls and cutlery, to put noodles in etc., and eat it from.
Great video. I saw a few items I can add to my food car kit. Being in the Greater East Bay in Northern California, we get some temperature extremes. 100+ in the summer and near freezing in the winter. I keep my food in a insulated 12-can cooler. I always have a case of water in my car for work and have a gallon jug of water in a carry strap in case we need t abandon the vehicle. I use two cook systems, an Esbit stove and a twig stove. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next video.
I live in SW Florida... It's HOT! I have learned through trial and error what does work and what doesn't work. I appreciate you making this video as I was thinking about making one.
Hard biscuits and or crackers would go well with some of the items you listed with a meal.
Thanks!
SS
Thank you for sharing this with us, George.We have to worry about freezing temperatures as well. Stay safe and stay cool
Some great ideas there, I lived/worked in Africa for years and there was always the newbie that arrived and placed chocolate in their car/pack that ended up in liquid form or if allowed to cool at night it looked like modern art outside of it's wrapper when they tried to eat it!
I keep two bugout supplies, one on a ammo belt , got enough easy and non cook food for a week , and the second one is for longer bugouts with more of the same stuff with a little more cooking stuff , about enough for a month , I will take the small one for short term and both for long term , I got 3 MREs but they take up a lot of room and they are not very appealing
Thank you for your video.
I cheated, I just got rid of the car. What an expense that thing was! I'm now somewhat rich as I discover the joys of online shopping and "right to my door" delivery.
The Wholesalers where I now do my bulk buying for prepping purposes, delivers right to my door for $30 and saves me the four hour drive and the $30 in gas I have to spend to get there and back.
Can't beat that deal.
I have my new list started and it's already around the $500 mark. The fifty pound bags of Cornstarch and Baking Powder are back in stock so I'll order them before they are sold out again. I'm tired of buying that crap by the pound. Not to mention the skyrocketing prices.
The cost of Pancake mix has gone through the roof so I'm buying a 20kg bag of that stuff, (44lb) I'll stash it all in one Gallon Mylar with oxygen absorbers of course.
How does 10kg of pitted Dates from Iran sound? Only $39.48 for that 22 lb of Dates. Sure beats $4 a lb at the store.
Did you know that 1kg packs of instant Coconut Pie filling is only $6.99? I'm getting three or four of those suckers.
Then there's the liquids, Red and White Wine Vinegars by the gallon, Worchestire sauce by the gallon, and I have already bought four gallon of their real chinese Soy Sauce. Lots of flavor, salt, and made without WHEAT!
3/4 gallon of Heinz Yellow Mustard fr $9.07. Not that cheap, but the stuff doesn't go bad either and can always be recanted into smaller jars.
The killer is the 40lb of Instant Mashed Potatoes I paid $130 for two years ago and the last time I wanted some it was $173.00 but they were sold out, and now it's $210.00 for the 40 lb of pure instant Potatoes, (down from $215) and I want one of those too.
My poor old Mum is off the Rice so if there's no fresh mashed Potatoes or Salad or something, it's the instant Mashed for her.
My motto of "Be Screwed Now And Avoid The Post SHTF Rush" is paying off big time because I doubt I'll have a car post SHTF so why bother with one now?
I know this is not doable for the vast majority, but for anyone already prepped up and sitting at their bug out/bug in location, ... it's the next logical step isn't it?
Unless you want the bother of storing Fuel, Oil, and parts, just so you gave a ride if you want one.
ME? I have nowhere to go post SHTF anyway. Why would I leave my preps unprotected?
Keep up the great work and good luck.
Thank you for the information today.
Thank you, George, for all you do.
Thanks for covering this subject! As I am a desert dweller like yourself I am especially interested in how to keep cool if we go grid down at this time of year. I am especially interested in the effectiveness of small USB powered misting fans. Maybe showcase how much ice you can make on solar etc…
Nice assortment, and good job including vitamins. I keep a little collapsible water kettle in the car. Takes up little space, and quickly boils water (nice option if you have an adaptor). I keep similar stuff in my "car kit". An assortment of easy grab and eat foods as well as food items that may tack some prep. I'm terrible at rotating food inside my house, but I do try to swap out my car food every few months.
Power Crunch bars are so good. I use those more for snacking at home instead of a candy bar. For a more robust food source, I like the ProBar Meal On the Go bar. Dense calorically packed easy to eat "meal" and with good ingredients.
A while back I found a can of SPAM. It had no date on it. I contacted Hormel and they said that as long as the can is intact the contents will remain edible.
“Not a big fan of Starbucks, but I love their coffee!” 🤔🤔🤔 lol
Iridium, I was in your neck of the woods last February. Nice little town. Plan on returning next year. Would love to meet up if possible.
Sounds good let me know
Great job
Great Info! Thanks
good idea
Spam lite has less fat, less salt than regular spam which I think is way too salty. Also, Walmarts lite Spam type product is way good & much cheaper than spam.
Always good stuff in this channel
I feel bad for you because if it’s hot here I could imagine how hot it’s is for you over there.
And I also like Sharonblair always tell my daughter to take a tall container like a talk coffee conditioner or large tuna can for energency poddy
She don’t live with me she travels a lot.
Greetings from LA California 👍🙋🏻♀️
Awesome I am 4 hours away in Pahrump Nevada!
ok
👍
I suggest that the vitamins be taken out when you get home so the vitamins like B's stop being good
Thanks!
But the sad thing is food won’t last in my car cause I will eat it! Lol!
Hello Matt
I am sorry about George
Hello, Thank you.
How about m and ms? melt in your mouth not in your hands? Will they melt in the car?
Depending on the temperature inside your car, they will certainly melt. At least the color will melt off of the outside and get all over everything including your hands. But if you like M&Ms, they still taste good.
❤💞💜💞💙
July 2024. Still learning from George/iridium242. I hope this channel goes on forever. God bless his memory and God bless his family and many friends.
Thank you! You are an awesome supporter. I see you on here all the time with nothing but kind words. We really do appreciate you!
@@Iridium242 likewise! I know we're all grateful that you're keeping the channel going.
