Vaccum paked deer/summer sausage lasts me forever in the freezer Good to know because they now make small size collapsible sandwich chests to keep frozen food colder longer and that they freeze well also.

I just prepared a 72 hour kit for my grandkids while they were here with me a few weeks ago. Although, they do cover any season. Theirs include: hot chocolate, powdered drink mixes, instant chicken noodle soup, beef jerky, breakfast bars, assorted crackers, chicken salad w/crackers, peanut butter, ramen noodle soups, candy, dried fruit, grits, and more that I can't remember. I did read you should stick prepackaged items with a pen before placing in a vacuum seal bag. This also removes the oxygen from those items. The kids had a blast doing that. At least if they can't get to us for a few days, they will have plenty of food, oh, and water. BTW...glad to be back, missed everyone!

Glad to have you back!. Oh my you certainly did set them up with great stuff. I hope some of the MRE images helped with some of the planning of knowing what to pack. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

We all have some food items and water tucked away in our vehicles. However hurricane season is knocking on our front doors. Soooo...I've been using this thread to up my food supplies should I need to evacuate, god forbid. And that includes extra food and water for Schatzi and my chickens too. Bumping this thread to help y'all too. Paying for a place to stay when evacuating is expensive along with gassing your vehicle, so having your own food helps tremendously.
