Emergency Survival Food For Your Prepper Pantry No Cooking !

Emergencies, Disasters, SHTF, Dangerous Times may not allow us time to cook the typical Prepper Pantry Storage Foods for a period of time, even a few days.
So, it is important to have some emergency no-cook foods/meals on hand for such times.

I know an old man from Cuba . He told me they cooked in the middle of the night so that the ppl round them wouldnt know they had food. 😮

Salt free vegetables are great because you can drink the water for hydration.

I'm diabetic & must eat. Last fall I found myself without electricity so I couldn't cook anything. The only thing I had to eat was a can of baked beans.... lesson learned.

[suzyjane]

I have been dehydrating. This gives me more options of ready to eat foods. Fruit vegetables and meat.

[StitchingMothVibes]

You just helped me prepare my family for a major snowstorm! Thank you!

Celtics salt. Has many necessary nutrients as potassium, magnesium, etc. Plus it helps the water you drink actually get into your cells so you can be hydrated. This is due to these nutrients . If your cells cannot absorb the water well, you just become puffy and dehydrated even though drinking water. I just learned this myself and will be adding celtic salt to my foods. It is also good for your arteries and blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and cannot get your prescription, use that Celtics salt!.

One thing you may have overlooked is the liquids that 8 and 9 are packed in to save your stored water.

I have several emergency prepper food kits. One for my car (ICE), one larger in a 72 hour bag in case I have to go to a shelter. One is a roller bag with food in case my housemate and I both have to leave together for a shelter. What I have in my overall stash are little cans (all with pull tab) of chicken in spring water, chicken in mayonaise, various beans in little cans ( kidney beans in vinegarette, black beans and corn in salsa, chick peas in some sort of dressing, baked beans (individual serve) I also have 3 x individual serves of fruit in squishy pouches. and sweet corn in small little cans. I have cheese and crackers in single serves, muesli bars, sachets of instant oatmeal and single serve cereals that I can add little single serves of milk to. I have sachets of chia seeds with about 2 tablespoons of chia in each sachet. I have freeze dried fruit in pouches and some chocolate. I have sealed salami single sticks and I have been known to throw in a pack of baby bell cheese in wax and not so long term the shelf stable non refrigerated Laughing Cow cheese triangles. I also have sachets of individual servings of craisins or raisins. A small container of peanut butter to eat out of the jar. In my roller bag I also have a package of ritz crackers. I tend not to do the full recommended gallon of water per day per person. I have packed for my 72 hour bag 3 x individual sized serving of UHT milk,
3 x Kirkland brand individual organic UHT apple or fruit punch juices and for hygiene purposes I throw in a package of Wet Ones. I also pack water but it is 1 x 600 ml bottle of water per day. Another little container that I have is individual serves of Biscoff cookies, some cinnamon roll flavoured pop tarts, instant coffee sachets, sugar sachets and tea bags. I always try and have at least 4 x 600 ml water in my car at all times.
I also have some individual servings of Christmas puddings. and Christmas fruit cake. These are meant to be microwaved normally. They are full of raisins and spices and will fill a person up. And a little bit of chocolate as a treat.
A couple of years back I saw an interview on what passed for breakfast television news. It was a 17 year old girl who had been rescued from flooding along with her 10 year old brother and two dogs. Her mother was a vetrenarian and had left the household to go assist with animals. She had told the 17 year old girl to keep an eye on the river level and if it got to a certain height to call for an emergency pick up. The daughter dutifully waited, keeping an eye on the river that went through their property. Late on the morning of the 3rd day, she called as the river was now putting them in danger. Rescuers came with a boat and took the brother, sister and the two dogs to a shelter. Unfortunately, they had packed nothing. They only had a cell phone and the (wet) clothes on their backs. The girl told of how she and her brother had been given a sandwich each. She had given half her sandwich to her brother as he was still hungry after eating his sandwich and the other half to her two dogs as they had nothing to eat. She told the host of the show over the video feed that they were cold being in wet clothes and that most of the people in the shelter were still in the same wet clothes that they had arrived in and that this was unhygienic. And was putting people at risk of becoming sick. She was begging for people to send them toiletries, clothes, shoes, diapers for the babies, animal food and human food as well. Well, guess what? The next person to be interviewed was the mayor of that flooded town in Australia. You know what that (female) mayor said? The mayor said do not send ANYTHING except MONEY. She said that they could not receive any aid /donations as far as clothing, toiletries, pet food or even human food. She said they had no way to receive it nor to distribute it. Just send
Think about how much better the brother and sister they would have been had they prepared a 72 hour bag /backpack each with several pairs of underwear, a change of clothes, PJs and a spare set of shoes in ziplock backs to keep them dry, some Wet Ones wipes for armpits and bits and a comb brush combo and a small hand towel each. Even just some crackers, a jar of peanut butter and a couple of pieces of fruit and if they had packed some food for their dogs. If they had thrown in a pack of playing cards or a book to read and a charger for their phones.

Campbell's bean with bacon soup - can be eaten from the can.

[snakeplissken]

Pouched beef from dollar tree, canned grace mackerel and sardines to add to my mres.

[wardrobelion]

Most are extremely high in sodium so be sure to either buy low 🧂 salt or keep potassium and others electrolytes on hand or you may have reactions such as cramps, thirst, headaches, or even constipation. And don’t drain your cans because vitamins are in the liquid from processing.👍

[Kebutor]

MREs, canned breads, Evaporated milk, and Oats. Just add some water to evaporated milk in oats with a little dehydrated fruit and you have a quick no frill cold oats breakfast after a couple minutes.
Sunflower Seeds, Whole Peanuts, and Pistachios as snacks.
I'm not sure how long Protein shakes last before they expire but that would be another good one.
Maybe cereals?

[dorcasowens]

Canned Corned Beef and canned Spam both work well.

[kuzinit]

I’m glad you brought this up, it is a good idea to have no cook food handy, especially for bugouts, I have a ammo bandoleer that I can grab and it has a weeks worth of no cook meals and stuff like instant coffee that I can make with warm water, but I stear away from heavy cans, but my P pantry is full of that stuff

[Rosebud]

I also like "Eating right out of a can!". My favorite is Ravioli and Spaghetti-O's (with meat gives more protein!). Liked this video bc it gets us ready for when shtf!

[Outdoorstaycations]

This is a handy list when shopping for Blessing Boxes. Sadly there are many hungry people in our community. We try to leave easy to eat foods with pop-tops to help. The tuna and chicken kits and canned fruit is our go to. I also often leave canned meat ravioli. But I like your number #1 choice of trail mix.

[danjames]

99% of my preps are no cook items. I sussed a while ago that cooking food means, weight, hassle and are time consuming. Plus who wants to wash up 😂.

[fredguldbrandsen]

I am looking to grow Jersalem Artichokes/Sunchokes again...very easy to grow! I transplanted them into my yard decades ago; didn't know what they were so I never ate them, just let them grow grow and grow! I wish I'd brought some of them here.

[davidwilken]

Dinty Moore Beef Stew is great cold, actually it’s better cold.

[joanies]

A homesteading channel shows you how to make your own MRE's. This means you can buy the bags with the water activated heat element to heat up food stored in bags. Pretty cool.

I keep a hiker's compact stove in my emergency pack that I can at least use to do some minimal boiling of water. At home I have a small tabletop propane grill. In my backyard I have a few piles of wood. I WILL have my coffee in the morning one way or another. 😁
