I have rations for the road: (dry, MRE's, "C", "K", & "D") and I have rations for the home.
Living on the Gulf Coast, there is one dried food that I have finally started collecting: dried shrimp. It's good for making a gumbo over a camp stove. It's expensive: $5.65 for a quarter pound. I plan on collecting 2 liters worth.
When I go camping, I bake pumpkin bread in 1pd coffee cans and seal it with the plastic lid. This P-bread has dates and nuts. It lasts for days.
Does this ring bells for anyone else? What is in your local area that is useful for long-term storage with little or no work?
