      I think it would be important to add flashlight, lighter and candles. Love the suitcase idea as well. I will be traveling to another country that I’ve not been to and I’ve watched 50 videos and I think I’ll shrivel up like a prune if I have to eat their food. So I am planning some of these meals to pack for the trip. It’s a very long flight 33 hours and I’m quite nervous about everything. I also don’t know the language.

    Hello! Kim 🤗💕👍, Thanks for more great ideas. One of my son's favorite quick meals is the sausage gravy with biscuits. Anyways, you got me thinking... I have a couple of big boxes of Bisquick mix that I put aside with other larger Prep items, and I believe it would make much more sense to divide some of it up into small packets and put with MRE'/Quick Meals since I don't have any individual packs. Also, dividing up other larger quantities of dry ingredients like powdered milk, sugar, tea, coffee and seasonings into smaller packets would be very helpful for people who buy in bulk instead of individual packs. Thanks again and God Bless...

    Carnation has a protein drink that has flavors, couple with a high protein bar and some nuts, coconut and raisins in a vac sealed bag would make a super fast breakfast to satisfy kiddos. Even adults are giving these drinks a high rating.
    Just thinking about some meals that are fast without having to have cooking utensils and a wait time when you’re hungry and want instant satisfaction.
    Crackers with peanut butter or cheese, vac sealed nuts, dried fruits and bottled protein drinks could be another quickie that does not require prepping. Tuna packets, a roll of crackers, plastic fork, small travel wipes packet and bottle of vita water and wrapped roll of cookies give calories and a instant meal.
    Jerky strips, dried fruit, vitamin water, bag of popcorn (belly filler) , is a snack bag if you can’t cook and need something to eat in between meals.

      I enjoy that your encouraging people to have packed items ready to grab and go……I am trying to persuade family members of doing so.
      That’s why I try to think fast, easy and no cooking preps also. Also less items to have to discard like cans if when possible……that’s why I say have some small trash bags……after seeing an area where the homeless lived it was awful….trash everywhere, food plates and pans, food scraps, bathroom waste, etc…etc….food containers from food banks and styrofoam blowing around, water bottles….shame on them. Homeless doesn’t give you the right to be filthy….careless and disrespectful to the environment.

    Get prepared because just through a power outage damages for4-5 days losted freezer foods and just yesterday someone ran into our gas plant so we are without has now going 2nd day. But right in the middle it pour down rain so no backup fire too cook but I had a hot pot of my sons. But I will be finding and electric skillet for sure. I've been putting together a few meals for the crock pot meals. Like dollar General chicken rice meals with cream of chicken soup and a bottle of water or a can of chicken meat. They finally had the small can. Cause its just me but that will give me 3 meals and yes I eat one meal and put the 2 meals in a thermos too keep it hot and from spoiling . But I have a 2nd one for hot tea or coffee. 1tall skinny and 2 fat short one for meals. Or a can of beef in gravey in 1 and the 2nd one with mashed potatoes they will make 3 meals. And 3rd option 1 can tuna in oil ramen noodles,1 bottle water, because with ramen just hear the water pour over the ramen noodles and season pack in air tight container or I save all zipper candy bags for the meal and yes I add the oil in the can too And add salt,onion,garlic powders too taste. And yes I always carry a mini Tupperware salt shaker in my car. Good for cleaning all cuts and stop bleeding.

    Hey Kim I have a question. I’ve been sick with a terrible stomach virus n I mean bad. So I haven’t been able to can my chicken n pork butt. Both are cooked n in the refrigerator. It’s been a day or so over a week. Someone told me I had to throw it out but that’s a lot of waste. At the time I cooked them I didn’t know I’d get this virus n it’s the kind you,poop,in your pants n not realize it at first so canning hasn’t been possible. Is these still good. They smell fine. I don’t want to throw it away. If you say it’s not safe I will throw it away but if you say it’s ok I’m going to can it. Also any suggestions on getting my strength back fast lol

    • @LifePrepared
      @LifePrepared  Рік тому +2

      Honestly throw them in the freezer now and when you get better, check them again. If cooked and then pressure canned, it will kill bacteria but if it is bad, the flavor will be not good. Get in lots of water, Pedialyte if you have it. There are also Pedialyte recipes online. If you think it is viral, I use honey mixed with garlic, ginger and onion. All of them are antiviral. I prefer fresh but in a pinch, dried works. I mix about equal parts and take a teaspoon every few hours.
