Hello all!

If this topic has been covered before, please accept my apologies. I didn't find it in a search.

I am getting a tool box for my pickup truck so that I can store my BOB kit. I want include water and food, but am concerned about our New England winter weather. Today was 34 degrees with a chill factor of 21. Is there a preferred way to store water without the containers rupturing if they freeze? I was thinking of putting several water bottles in there contained in Zip Lock freezer bags. Is there a better solution?

I am assuming that MRE's will be okay under these conditions. Is that true?

Thanks for your help.
