Camping Week! 72 Lx Minutes Kits: Food

 CAMPING WEEK! 72 hr kits: FOOD
Food is a big deal.
I won't rant close stocking upwards together with storing food...but I am a big geek close this.

Emergency kit nutrient needs to live on able to store inwards diverse temperatures.
 We made each mortal inwards our household unit of measurement three packs of nutrient (1 pack per 24-hour interval for three days)
It's together with therefore filled amongst things that you lot tin plough over the axe swallow ane affair every hr from Sun upwards to Sun down!
You won't experience hungry.
My boys went on a three 24-hour interval backpacking trip together with came home
amongst one-half their three 24-hour interval provide of food.
So inwards extenuating circumstances, it would suffice...
together with perchance direct maintain or together with therefore to spare amongst others.

Here's what I seat inwards ours:
Dried Mangoes (130 cals)
Dried Bananas (100 cals)
ii Sweet together with Salty Granola Bars  (170 cals each)
1 loving cup dry out Oats amongst 1 tsp cinnamon/sugar (2 packs for the men)  (300 cals each)
iv Slim Jims (160 cals)
Homemade Beef Jerky (200 cals for iv oz)
ii servings of poly peptide pulverisation (140 cals each)
Fruit snacks (80 cals)
Hot Tamales Cinnamon candy (140 cals)
Good & Plenty (140 cals)
Total of 2,170 calories!
(which is amazing for a 72 hr kit, most purchasable kits are solely 800-1200 calories per day)
For kids together with women, I left out 1 packet of oats...so 1,870 calories

 I similar to run vacuum sealing bags together with seal an entire 24-hour interval inwards each bag.
Okay, let's verbalize oats.
I feed my kids dry out quondam fashioned oats regularly.
We don't rut it up...we similar milk on it, but H2O plant too.
In a pinch...we would only swallow it similar popcorn correct out of the bag.
The poly peptide pulverisation volition live on improve amongst or together with therefore water,
but fifty-fifty it tin plough over the axe only live on eaten.
I would similar to add together or together with therefore affair light-green inwards there...so I ordered this:

 I don't know how I'll contain it into our emergency kits yet...maybe only mix
inwards a serving amongst the poly peptide shakes...but I think
 that it volition tending amongst adding essential nutrients to our food.

 Now it's sealed together with create to store inwards example of emergencies!
Emergency nutrient should live on rotated.
I recommend cycling it out every half-dozen months.
If at that topographic point hasn't been an emergency, brand novel kits for everyone.
Then conception an outing where you lot each accept a packet of food...test it out.
See what you lot similar together with don't like.  Make adjustments.
Don't allow your emergency kits sit down without or together with therefore nutrient inwards them.
We also proceed or together with therefore inwards a kit inwards our car...you actually never know when you lot are going to involve them!

Any other suggestions for putting together 72 hours worth of food?

Do you lot direct maintain 72 hr kits?

What works, what doesn't?
