I recently got called to set up a job interview. It pays well, but I was surprised to find out about the amount of driving I would have to do around the county doing inspections. The furthest distance w/o knowing the exact addy would be 75 miles away. Imagining the worst case senario... Having to walk home all the way I divided the miles by 5 and got 30 days of walking. What does this mean for me? It means I have to have 30 days of food with me in the cart in the car ready to go at any time. I have also considered what else I would need to make g o o d easier on me.
Yesterday I came up with a combination if convenient foods, drink mixes, etc.... I will post this the next time I have an actual computer and not a hand held device.
Of course that day I just might be carpooling w a non-prepper and have to make sure to have enough for two.

Addendum: actual days would be 15. However if I'm with a non-prepper I'll need 30 days of food.

Do be careful of these mixes and convenience foods as most may or will contain MSG under a myriad of names.

| By the way I'm being influenced by the book One Second After. The author really went into detail on long term starvation. I know I will not make it back in three days. I have in my car ration bars and mountain house freeze dried food. I also have rice, pasta and beans in my car already. My teacher cart will be used to transport my essentials. In another thread I've already mentioned my B O P(purse). |

Nice blog, been canning forever, but had not thought of dehydrating and then canning. I have stayed away from canning meats due to reason already stated, dehydrating the meat first is a great idea! Now I just need to blow the dust off of the dehydrators and buy some more jars!
