  • Emergencies, Disasters, SHTF, Dangerous Times may not allow us time to cook the typical Prepper Pantry Storage Foods for a period of time, even a few days.
    So, it is important to have some emergency no-cook foods/meals on hand for such times.

    Sunflower Seeds, Whole Peanuts, and Pistachios as snacks.

      I keep protein shakes on hand, mostly Premier. Some flavors retain their original texture longer than others, but after about 3 years (way beyond expiration date), they are still useful for what I do. Chocolate is the worst, vanilla next, and some others are better. I don't drink them, and they are not my favorite foods, but they do contribute substantially to the ice cream I make in my Ninja Creami. They are a good source of protein. I also store just plain cartons (small ones so they don't need refrigeration if it isn't available) of shelf stable milk as well. They do need to be used and replaced. For meat and vegetables, I sometimes mix a can or two of each with some dried onions and oil and vinegar for a salad. (Example: green beans, kidney beans, chicken, dried onion, oil, vinegar.)

    Celtics salt. Has many necessary nutrients as potassium, magnesium, etc. Plus it helps the water you drink actually get into your cells so you can be hydrated. This is due to these nutrients . If your cells cannot absorb the water well, you just become puffy and dehydrated even though drinking water. I just learned this myself and will be adding celtic salt to my foods. It is also good for your arteries and blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and cannot get your prescription, use that Celtics salt!.

    I have several emergency prepper food kits. One for my car (ICE), one larger in a 72 hour bag in case I have to go to a shelter. One is a roller bag with food in case my housemate and I both have to leave together for a shelter. What I have in my overall stash are little cans (all with pull tab) of chicken in spring water, chicken in mayonaise, various beans in little cans ( kidney beans in vinegarette, black beans and corn in salsa, chick peas in some sort of dressing, baked beans (individual serve) I also have 3 x individual serves of fruit in squishy pouches. and sweet corn in small little cans. I have cheese and crackers in single serves, muesli bars, sachets of instant oatmeal and single serve cereals that I can add little single serves of milk to. I have sachets of chia seeds with about 2 tablespoons of chia in each sachet. I have freeze dried fruit in pouches and some chocolate. I have sealed salami single sticks and I have been known to throw in a pack of baby bell cheese in wax and not so long term the shelf stable non refrigerated Laughing Cow cheese triangles. I also have sachets of individual servings of craisins or raisins. A small container of peanut butter to eat out of the jar. In my roller bag I also have a package of ritz crackers. I tend not to do the full recommended gallon of water per day per person. I have packed for my 72 hour bag 3 x individual sized serving of UHT milk,
    3 x Kirkland brand individual organic UHT apple or fruit punch juices and for hygiene purposes I throw in a package of Wet Ones. I also pack water but it is 1 x 600 ml bottle of water per day. Another little container that I have is individual serves of Biscoff cookies, some cinnamon roll flavoured pop tarts, instant coffee sachets, sugar sachets and tea bags. I always try and have at least 4 x 600 ml water in my car at all times.
    I also have some individual servings of Christmas puddings. and Christmas fruit cake. These are meant to be microwaved normally. They are full of raisins and spices and will fill a person up. And a little bit of chocolate as a treat.
    A couple of years back I saw an interview on what passed for breakfast television news. It was a 17 year old girl who had been rescued from flooding along with her 10 year old brother and two dogs. Her mother was a vetrenarian and had left the household to go assist with animals. She had told the 17 year old girl to keep an eye on the river level and if it got to a certain height to call for an emergency pick up. The daughter dutifully waited, keeping an eye on the river that went through their property. Late on the morning of the 3rd day, she called as the river was now putting them in danger. Rescuers came with a boat and took the brother, sister and the two dogs to a shelter. Unfortunately, they had packed nothing. They only had a cell phone and the (wet) clothes on their backs. The girl told of how she and her brother had been given a sandwich each. She had given half her sandwich to her brother as he was still hungry after eating his sandwich and the other half to her two dogs as they had nothing to eat. She told the host of the show over the video feed that they were cold being in wet clothes and that most of the people in the shelter were still in the same wet clothes that they had arrived in and that this was unhygienic. And was putting people at risk of becoming sick. She was begging for people to send them toiletries, clothes, shoes, diapers for the babies, animal food and human food as well. Well, guess what? The next person to be interviewed was the mayor of that flooded town in Australia. You know what that (female) mayor said? The mayor said do not send ANYTHING except MONEY. She said that they could not receive any aid /donations as far as clothing, toiletries, pet food or even human food. She said they had no way to receive it nor to distribute it. Just send money.....
    Think about how much better the brother and sister they would have been had they prepared a 72 hour bag /backpack each with several pairs of underwear, a change of clothes, PJs and a spare set of shoes in ziplock backs to keep them dry, some Wet Ones wipes for armpits and bits and a comb brush combo and a small hand towel each. Even just some crackers, a jar of peanut butter and a couple of pieces of fruit and if they had packed some food for their dogs. If they had thrown in a pack of playing cards or a book to read and a charger for their phones.

    Rolled oats. It can even be eaten dry if necessary (it's great to remedy heartburn).
    You can make a basic porridge by even just adding water to it and eating it either cold or warm.
    It's very filling, shelf stable, takes up little room, is light to carry, and very nutritious.
    It can even be put in your pocket and snacked on while you're on the go.
    They even sell packets where they're portioned out into individual portions and pre-flavoured (honey, maple syrup, chocolate, freeze dried berries etc).
    If you can only get 1 thing, get those.

They should show you the number of servings in the container and you can do the math. I was looking at one on Amazon earlier today and it worked out to $3.50/serving, which isn't bad considering they've done all of the preservation work for you already.

    I’ve looked into an old food called Pemmican…albeit not the most palatable, but when prepared properly it’s shelf life is very long ie 10+ years. My first batch I followed a recipe, and though it is edible, it doesn’t taste very good. Second batch, a little salty, but a little more palatable. All made from “grass fed beef.” My next batch will be made from Bison. I already purchased online Bison Tallow…I will call this ranch to find out if they have received their next shipment of Bison Round (lean meat.) I hear Bison is far more palatable than beef. Look up pemmican and learn how the frontiersman used to use it for soups and stews, by adding it as just one part of the ingredients. God bless to all.

    Hello all I wanted to couple of suggestions. First of which is to check out any ethnic stores you may have in your area, especially Asian. This may be a bit on the pricy side for many but it is an option. Dry Fish, Dry Squid (which I grew up eating like beef jerky) are often carried along with a wider assortment of can sea food. Asian markets have a slew of items that can been put in your pantry and eaten without cooking. Such of varieties of pre-cooked rice, can porridge.
    Things I carry in the pantry for hurricane season (On top of mention items) and are probably not practical for long term survival foods. Jar sour kraut. Jar pickled mix vegetables. Can boiled peanuts. Spam. Peanut butter cheese crackers (Lance). Breakfast bars (Honey and Oats). Regular crackers. My biggest thing when I purchase items for emergency food storage, is that they have to be things I am willing to eat. Some times if I find a good deal I will also grab a small jar of picked eggs.
    Off topic: Items that have to be cooked for emergency storage in the pantry: 15lb bag(s) of rice. Dried sea weed. Doenjang (soybean paste).

      @@joanies6778 My fault, I was referring to Wakame dried seaweed used for soup. However the toasted sheets are great and I can eat an entire package of the small toasted sheets (grins) by myself. Btw you can make these very easy at home. Simply take the large ones used for sushi and lightly coat them with a mixture of sesame seed oil mixed with a little bit of salt (using a paper towel to wipe them). Then toast them over a burner or in a hot pan until the seaweed turns a lighter green and gets crispy. This is how we would make them before they came widely available in stores.

    Ramen is a snack but high on sodium. Ration bars usually have 5 year shelf life but have one 10 years old but 4 others lost vacuum seal. One thing I would add specifically is beef stew. U have beef potatoes And carrots. Gotta watch salt content.
    Long term these are all meant to be stop gap till you can produce your own food if u can. Good video

    • @DOSBoxMom
      @DOSBoxMom 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I thought most of the sodium in ramen was in the little seasoning packets, so if one were eating dry uncooked ramen, the sodium wouldn't be an issue (until one uses the reserved seasoning packet later on to make broth). I like your suggestion of beef stew, though. And good point about watching the salt content on canned foods. (Some things come in "no salt added" versions, but not everything.)

    • @ChefPrepper
      @ChefPrepper  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Cris Servin,
      I am thinking those ration bars will last nearly forever if stored properly (just my thinking).
      Beef stew would be a great canned food to have in storage (or to eat anytime) and yeah avoiding to much salt (unless it is unprocessed sea salt or Himalayan salt) is a good thing.
      I agree completely, storage food is to fill in the gaps of your own food production if you have the ability and to produce food.

    Dried garbanzo beans only need to be soaked in water, not hot water… you can eat them whole, better than canned… and you can make hummus … it’s been a while, but I think you typically put lemon in the mix, and fresh garlic is good… you might want to keto a few frozen lemon cubes… if elec goes out… you’ll want something to use the lemon juice with… also, keep plenty of plenty of sweet potatoes on hand… they can be eaten raw… also better than canned… when I eat mine raw, I seed them and marinate them in a lemon lime garlic and cumin sauce…. But the important thing to know is that they can be eaten raw, unlike regular potatoes. Try to think of fresh foods that keep too

Take 1-2 Tblsp. peanut butter 1-2 Tblsp. soy sauce, 1-5 tsp. Sriracha or other garlic chili sauce and mix with peanut butter and soy sauce. Add water until you get a medium thick paste. Toss noodles in it. Top with salted roasted peanuts if you have them. Enjoy.

    These would be good foods to buy at Wal-Mart or a truck stop if you were doing a no-notice evacuation and had to buy your food supplies along the way when stopping to refuel your vehicle. But these are not the kinds of food I stockpile at home for a stay-at-home emergency when the local power grid is down.
    For quick and easy meals for the first three days or so of a disaster, I prefer to have my stockpile of Mountain House meal pouches. These can easily store for 20 years in a cool, rodent-free pantry. So, no worries about rotating/replacing regular non-refrigerated foods before they spoil or go stale. So, I have bought enough for three days of meals per family member (6000 calories per person) and as long as I store these meals properly, I can forget about them until I need to use them -- no rotating/replacing every six to twelve months at ever higher cost. The Pro Pack version takes up a lot less space than the regular backpacker version. We also use Mountain House instant meals when we go on cross-country RV vacations, so we have developed preferences for particular meals. The skillet breakfast, classic spaghetti and beef stroganoff meals are family favorites. And the clean-up is easy because there is no saucepan to clean -- the Mountain House meals heat/rehydrate in their pouches. You can even eat the meats directly from the pouches if you do not have disposable paper plate or paper bowls.
    These Mountain House meal pouches are expensive, but I could stretch these meals by using them as a topping over some of the regular shelf stable foods I happen to have in my kitchen pantry, such as Ramen noodles, instant grits, instant mashed potatoes, instant rice or canned cooked beans or whole kernel corn. I also store bottled water for rehydrating these Mountain House meals and other dry instant foods.
    I also have a couple of one-burner butane stoves and some butane cylinders. These butane stoves are safe to use indoors and very useful when the local power grid is down, and it is too dangerous to cook outdoors or when it is just too hot, too cold or too wet or windy outdoors to use the outdoor gas grill. And these stoves are also handy just to be able to boil water indoors for making instant coffee, brewing tea or making a hot cocoa beverage. A hot beverage is good for morale. And these butane stoves are also good for tailgating if you are boiling water for instant meals during brief road stops when evacuating from dangerous conditions such as an approaching wildfire or hurricane.

    Tongue partially in cheek, hardtack. It lasts basically forever if done correctly, won't require cooking (and thus fuel) to make edible, downside of course is that you need to smash the shit out of it and add it to some form of liquid (coffee, canned soup, etc) to get your teeth through it at all. At least you can toss it in and do something else while waiting for it to soften up. Great stress relief!
