If I had to fit some high-calorie food into just one coat pocket or the outside pocket of a backpack, I would choose a small box of raisins, a small bag of peanut M&M candies and a few individually wrapped "steak" style beef jerky sticks. If I still had some room, I would add a few individual size packets of Gatorade powder or Emergen-C vitamin powder to add to any bottled water I could get. These items are also good to take on airplane flights or commuter train rides because you never know if you could be delayed for hours and miss getting a meal. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
When my Uncle Lester died someone gave my Aunt Mildred some protein drinks. It's something I would have never thought of. I'm glad you mentioned it. Grief kills the appetite, and it makes it hard to concentrate on even simple tasks. Great share!!!
I was at one of my local grocers two weeks ago and in the Asian Foods section, I discovered canned cooked and peeled quail eggs stored in salted water. The price per can is $3.99. I bought 6 cans. Later in the month, I returned to buy more and to my luck, they were being restocked right when I arrived at the aisle. I grabbed 6 more cans of them. They are a delicacy and go great with so many Asian recipes that it fits into my nutrition plan very well. Tasty too.
Love seeing teddy in your videos especially now. We lost our Lucy last week, such a dear, I called her Teddy's sister because they looked alike . She would've been 3 in June. It was sad and sudden. Told she had kidney failure and probably genetic. Everybody cherish your furry friends.
Did you know…you can buy dried fruit in bulk, divide it into individual servings and then place together into a large freezer bag and freeze them! You just take out what you need to thaw on the counter. 😊 I looked it up. Thanks for your advice! We love your videos. God bless.
Thank you for all the suggestions of ready to eat meals. Some I have and some I will try that I hadn't thought of! Thank you for showing Teddy on his little stool helping his Mom check the pantry! You put a big smile on my face!!! 🥰God Bless you!
That's a nice assortment of no cook foods. There really is alot to choose from out there so you can have variety. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites with us. Stay safe! 💜
Hi Granny !! Omg, Teddy is the luckiest woofie in the world to have you for his Mom !! I laughed out loud at him on the stool in the pantry ! Hysterical 😂 All of your ideas are fabulous and I do have most of them !! It’s definitely a mindset…. I’m always looking at things and foods with short term and long term in mind, much to the detriment of the bank account 😳. Love you Granny, and thank you for all you do !! ❤️
The first time I tried rice cakes (the 70's) I got the plain. And you described them perfectly... like eating cardboard! The only thing that saved them was topping them with a little peanut butter. The caramel ones weren't too bad. I like the white cheddar ones but haven't seen them lately.
Great suggestions as always. I ordered some smoked chunk-style ham that you mentioned a few videos back, and found some pulled pork in bbq sauce at Wal-Mart (on sale!) that I will be trying soon. Building my stockpile little by little, Alaska Granny style!
I found a case of SPAM on sale for a great price. Not my favorite but the price was too good to ignore. Jerky can be pricy but lasts forever and is lightweight for hiking. I like getting comfort sweets like mini chocolates or hard candies. In a pinch the right ones can be used as sweetener in coffee or tea. And, while they’re bulky, the 2 liter bottles of soda are often less than $1 for cheap comfort calories. Surplus military food is an option. My dad was former military and when I was a kid we always had C-rations around. I actually loved most of them. I since have inherited some large military canned meals. I’ll have to try one soon (rotate) to make sure they’re still OK.
Great selection of survival foods there AG. 👍 I love rice cakes, especially the sour cream & chive ones, with Philadelphia on. Yumz. TFS AG, take care & keep busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Nice segment AG. I especially liked the little black bear in the closet (Teddy). You blew me away with the photo of all those boxes of pilot biscuits at WalMart. I live in N.Florida and none of our WalMarts carry them. They were on the WalMart website last time I checked but no longer. I checked Amazon and Target's websites and they arent there either. I've been noticing shortages like this getting worse and I'm a positive thinker. Maybe someone else can can scout their local area and add some input.
Sorry to hear u lost the love of your life. Prayers for and your family. I have been watching your channel to some time now and share your information with them ?
I have never seen pilot bread in any grocery store or walmart in my area of West TN. Looks like I will have to search for it online. Thanks because I want to add this to my survival stash.
Those Dollar Tree snack packs with the tuna and crackers & chicken/crackers in them are really good. My favorites are the buffalo chicken and lemon tuna!!
Having a scarcity of bananas in Alaska, you should try FREEZE DRIED bananas. They are sooo much better tasting than dehydrated bananas👍. Even baby food 🍌 are good😊.
Thanks again for such good information! I dry can crackers, we’ve had them 2 years later and still fresh. You can seal cereal with foodsaver also lasts a really long time! 😀
I love your suggestions. They are all useful. Thank you! I have bought the tuna and chicken packs many times from the DT. They fit my budget and they are convenient for “ on the go” eating. They taste good but just a comment: they have around a 1/4 or so of food. You might need more than one package if you’re really hungry.
I stuck a summer sausage roll in the freezer right there as it was crossing over its expiry date...pretty sure it'll be good for another year or so. Thanks for the content!
I went to Walmart the other day and found cans of cashew halves and pieces on clearance. I bought all 13 cans. The best buy date is good till late next year. I don't normally buy them because the prices have gone up on them, but couldn't pass them up, for the price they were on clearance. We actually love to eat cashews.
Great video, and so sorry for your loss. Adding to your list: Hard Candy, mints, gum Jack Links and other brands like Great Value, meat stick and cheese stick combos Canned Cheese! The squirt kind! On any cracker - yum Don't forget a can opener if you have canned goods
Teddy made me LOL hes checking to see what you need in AlaskaGranny's prepper pantry. So many good ideas time to bring a pen and paper when i watch the AG channel.
Dollar Tree has potato and chicken a la king soups. Also chicken tamales. They'd be great over rice or with beans. Thanks AG Remember ya'll to Pray, Plan, Prep
My new awareness is the protein content, greater the protein, greater the ability to keep you ALIVE……having tons of canned veggies at 70 calories on average means per can means you are going to have to eat 30 cans a day……do the math, protein content should be the first consideration always….blessings ❤
Thank you AG. I am going to look for the dried banana slices at Walmart next time I go. That would be a great thing for me to have on hand. Thank you for your very helpful info. God bless ❤
Wow, what a beautiful couple. Thank God , for Your wisdom and power, on handling it, and being strong. Also, what a friend, you have in Teddy, and I guess, he is soooo cute. Thank you, for this great , useful and enlightening list. God bless you, for sharing. 🙏👍❤️🌹🌟🌺✨🌻💫
I really like the sausages with crackers and mainly at the holidays, Im sure it the advertising) but I am putting it on my list now. I know they were $6 or about last i seen. 😊
Great video AG..... Suggestions... You can vacuum seal nuts and they WILL last for years, also if chips or crackers go stale put them in your dehydrator for a few hours and they refresh. Once again I'm So sorry for the loss of " the Love of your life" I lost mine March 2nd was 2 years ago 🤗🤗🙏🙏 Kendra
I use dry cereal as snacks for my kids. When my 2nd youngest was in public school, I supplied his classroom with daily snacks because the families were too poor or busy to pack a snack for their child. I just went to Aldi and bought their rice Chex cereal and honey nut “cheerios”.
I get canned soups that we like and then canned chicken and beef and we add some meat to the soup to make it a more substantial meal. Along with a salad it makes a good weeknight dinner but just the soup and meat can be eaten straight from the can if needed. If you get 30-50 meals worth you can have a SHTF dinner once a week and cycle through your canned food supply every year to keep it fresh.
Thank you so much for all of these product ideas. What is your actual first name? Been watching you for a few years and realized I do not know. P.s. I like rice cakes with cream cheese and honey.
I like the dried fruit. I buy Walmart's brand of the freeze dried Fuji apples. They are great to take along in the car or just have at home as a snack. I also have the packets of cherrios for snacks. Those little snack lunch boxes, they are great to have in a bag if you are going out and just need a quick pick me until you are home to make a meal. I have the chicken, tuna and ham.
Oh, those protein shakes are also great for making iced mochas or iced caramel macchiatos. Get your tall cup with ice and add coffee or espresso and then the protein shake and maybe a shot of heavy cream if you like. Much less sugar than Starbucks and you cycle through your protein shake preps regularly. Though the shakes are getting so expensive it is still a bit cheaper than Starbucks.
Maybe consider doing a lower sodium food haul from whatever store/s you choose for African Americans… we have specific sodium needs… we have to have enough to survive too…inexpensive food … like Asian people can eat way higher sodium… me? I need low sodium options of ways to reduce sodium… thank you!!! I love your channel!!!🎉🎉
Instant noodles can be eaten without cooking. Naan bread and tortillas can stay soft even 4 months after the expiration date if they are still in the original packaging. There are cooked rice in packages that just need to heat and serve. You can eat the rice cold but of course hot rice tastes better.
Now that I have become aware that i have a (severe) SOY allergy, I've been checking labels. Amazingly, SOY is in nearly everything canned... My most disturbing was to find SOY TUNA. I mean come on, why is there soy in tuna. Soy in pizza, breads, canned ravioli, soups, I just dont understand. So, there is no SOY in my Bacon Jerky, fruit cocktail, white chocolate caramel cappuccino (yet) or dry pasta so, closet cleaning again, I would guess.
PS Duchess Mackerel in can from Dollar Tree has warnings on label, also Product Of China. Dry Penne: May contain traces of egg, SOY. Kidding me.🤔 There are cattails and dandelions in my area. Au naturale.
It makes no sense to add soy into things. My grandfather had a severe palm oil allergy and I learned to read labels growing up. Back then there was even palm oil added in the dry kool aid packets, there was only one brand of bread, mayo, cake mix and butter he could have, this was back in the 1980s. It makes me wonder why palm oil before and why soy now? So hard to avoid unless you make everything from scratch
At the dollar tree store, which is now $1.25 for the bigger items I found a 15 ounce can of whole sardines and tomato sauce so there’s no soy for people who are allergic to it add I will. They are delicious and additive for a buck and a quarter for 15 ounces of tunafish. Seriously, you have that attitude your supply of protein it doesn’t need to be cooked.
There's been recalls on foods and many times stores will throw out items that are unopened and sealed into a dumpster...Ive got lots of items out of the bins that are perfectly fine and many haven't expired
People don't always think about taking protein when they have snacks that they need to take, and meats and nuts are great . I can't find the sesame-nut mini bars that you had me on the lookout for. At least I got a number when I did see them twice; I keep two in my purse. I have a number of decent snack bars put away, most were frozen beforehand. I have quite a bit of dried fruit. The cereals are great for kids. Mine often ate cereal like that and drank milk on the side. We have laid in protein shakes as preps. I laid in a number of cans of tamales, of all things, but I love them. Speaking of Hispanic foods, did I tell you that I found that mylar-bagged tortillas have lasted for 3 years that I know of in the commercial packs,(like in Old El Paso taco kits), and ones that I put in mylar bags just checked after a year and a half are perfect? Sweet rice rolls at Dollar Tree and other stores are also holding up in mylar bags. You never know. 3 weeks ago we had a broken water main and had no water, then a boil-water advisory. Last week a big transformer blew and my sister was without power for a while. You just never know.
Rice cakes used to be around $1- '$1.50. Latest I was was $4.37. Craziness. I Iike the popcorn flavored, but not the small ones, they have a cheesy substance sprinkled on.
Thank you for your video. All I need is a positive attitude eh? I know it's all for the best, just as I know it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I've been looking for 20b propane tanks for my duel fuel generator and found a BBQ for sale with four tanks. All I wanted was the tanks and there was only three, not four, when I got there and one was too old to be refilled BUT! IT was 3/4 full and I'm not using it right away so bonus. The propane doesn't go bad. Turns out the BBQ was a mess but it works and the guy was moving so he sold me everything for $50 and I took it. New empty tanks are $64 so I did OK by my books. I have six tanks so far and I'm shooting for twenty. That's only 400lb of propane and it will keep the generator running for awhile at least. Burn the gasoline first of course. Keep up the great work and good luck.
You should be able to exchange your old tanks for filled tanks. That is what we did with our older tanks that was starting to rust. We took ours to Academy and Walmart.
In college a carload of us would go hiking in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, NH on weekends, a lot, three seasons. All we each took to eat was a stick of Hard Salami, a block of Cheddar Cheese (or whatever you liked), a loaf of French Bread, some Wine of course, Water, .... Boy did it taste good, it was perfect. Some of us also carried a bag of our favorite 'trail mix'. Mine had: peanuts, tree nuts (cashews), dried Tropical fruits, m&ms, little pretzels (loved these), lots of raisins, corn or rice Chex cereal (loved Chex too) , sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds ... It was a yummy buffet, lol, for snacking. At home Chef Boyardee is my favorite fall back. I keep my car stocked with a jar of peanut butter, a jar of strawberry preserves, a sleeve of Pilot Crackers and plenty of bottled water. This will keep me fed and hydrated for days. Sometimes a bag of jerky but that always disappears before needed in an emergency. Keep it Simple. Thx AG, good topic.
Seriously you would think anybody with half a brain would be smart enough not to buy things they dont eat instead of someone having to tell them that but to buy what they do eat.
There may come a time when you can't cook because of the oder. Cooking food will bring the starving to your door. Love yoy A.G. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love. 😊
Could not find pilot bread crackers in any store around here!!! I found a bunch of premier protien vanilla drinks clearanced at $1. I bought carmel syrup at DTree n i squirt that in. Downright tasty!!!!!
Teddy standing on that little stool is the cutest thing ever! 🥰

I found some at Walmart but in glass jars with jalapenos. They were next to the olives and $7.67 a jar. But I like 'em! 😎👍🏻
How long do these last unopened?

If grid is down you dont have a frig to keep meat
Thank you for your video.
All I need is a positive attitude eh?
I know it's all for the best, just as I know it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I've been looking for 20b propane tanks for my duel fuel generator and found a BBQ for sale with four tanks. All I wanted was the tanks and there was only three, not four, when I got there and one was too old to be refilled BUT! IT was 3/4 full and I'm not using it right away so bonus. The propane doesn't go bad.
Turns out the BBQ was a mess but it works and the guy was moving so he sold me everything for $50 and I took it.
New empty tanks are $64 so I did OK by my books.
I have six tanks so far and I'm shooting for twenty. That's only 400lb of propane and it will keep the generator running for awhile at least.
Burn the gasoline first of course.
Keep up the great work and good luck.
You should be able to exchange your old tanks for filled tanks. That is what we did with our older tanks that was starting to rust. We took ours to Academy and Walmart.
@@Bloodhoundjed1 Yes, I forgot about the exchange program. Thank you for reminding me.
Can the saltines be vaccum sealed in a mason jar to last longer ?
Yes.
The Hormel Completes have a ton of salt in them!😲😲
Nearly all ready to eat foods do.

In college a carload of us would go hiking in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, NH on weekends, a lot, three seasons. All we each took to eat was a stick of Hard Salami, a block of Cheddar Cheese (or whatever you liked), a loaf of French Bread, some Wine of course, Water, .... Boy did it taste good, it was perfect. Some of us also carried a bag of our favorite 'trail mix'. Mine had: peanuts, tree nuts (cashews), dried Tropical fruits, m&ms, little pretzels (loved these), lots of raisins, corn or rice Chex cereal (loved Chex too) , sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds ... It was a yummy buffet, lol, for snacking.
At home Chef Boyardee is my favorite fall back. I keep my car stocked with a jar of peanut butter, a jar of strawberry preserves, a sleeve of Pilot Crackers and plenty of bottled water. This will keep me fed and hydrated for days. Sometimes a bag of jerky but that always disappears before needed in an emergency. Keep it Simple. Thx AG, good topic.
Seriously you would think anybody with half a brain would be smart enough not to buy things they dont eat instead of someone having to tell them that but to buy what they do eat.
There may come a time when you can't cook because of the oder. Cooking food will bring the starving to your door. Love yoy A.G. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love. 😊
