    These meal kits would be perfect to hand out to people in need as well.

    I do bagged meal kits as well. I keep one weeks worth for 2 people. I also keep a sterno heater so i can heat water. Its small and cheap.

    I would add that if you don't have the $$ to buy a generator like this one. Keep charcoal on hand. Buy a charcoal chimney, very cheep, and requires no lighter fluid. All you have to do with a chimney, is have some sort of paper around to start the charcoal from the bottom of the chimney that is filled with charcoal. Fill the chimney with charcoal, light the paper put it under the charcoal in the chimney and done. We have not used lighter fluid in about 20 years. All these meals can be cooked on an open fire, or grill. Just like camping. These are great ideas. Love it

    I still need to look for that canned smoked ham. That's one meat I don't have in my prepper pantry. You could also add a an of evaporated milk to the ones that need it.

    Great meal ideas! I have some spaghetti and pizza kits made up. I include 2 16.9-ounce bottles of water to cook the spaghetti with. In the pizza kits with a packaged mix, I add 1 bottle of water. I can't find any shelf-stable mozzarella, so am looking into the freeze-dried.

    We recently had storms in our area, our power was out for 2&1/2 days. We have a large fuel powered generator that kept us powered the entire time. It’s a good thing we weren’t relying on solar to power our generator because there was no sunlight to be had.

    Those solar powered generators are really nice to have for emergency situations. That’s one item we have yet to purchase, but would definitely like to have.
    I love your meal ideas to bag together! So handy, even in non emergency situations. 😊 The possibilities are endless of what you can group together- it can be ingredients for your favorite meals, and all you need to add is the cooked protein.
    Thanks so much for the information!

    • @TracyShead-Stamey
      @TracyShead-Stamey Рік тому +1

      ​@SouthernWife EverydayLife I think she might be thinking the canned beef is too expensive. I think if you picked up a small can at each weekly store trip, it wouldn't be too expensive. It's all in the planning. I'm saying this as a person who only had 25 for the week to feed 5 people. It was the early 2000s, but gas prices were pretty high and I lived a good 45 minutes from the nearest grocery store. We didn't have Walmart or Aldi either. It can be done on even the tightest budget. I also saved all change in a sock so I could buy extra stuff at the end of the month. I have way more ideas that I can possibly share here. I hope this person can find a way to bag suppers.
      P.S. like Tamara said you make them to suit you and yours. If push comes to shove just use tuna or canned chicken. If it's for just a few days it's not going to hurt to not have beef.
      I truly hope you can figure out a way for you.
      Thanks for sharing Tamara.
