Great idea to keep some food in the car along with first aid, tools, jacket, water emergency blanket, headlamp or torch and a knife of sorts. Stay safe Greg...

Hershey bars (unwrapped in a closed-tight container) in the dessert could be fondue with freeze dried fruit. I'm female, and my mind thinks of ways to enjoy chocolate. Heck - just pass me the spoon.

This video reminds me that it is time to go through my emergency bucket in my vehicle. I have young grandchildren and my bucket has come in handy many times. I also keep large plastic coffee container with a good lid for potty emergencies. Everyone laughs at me, but it came in handy when stuck in traffic and my 6 year old granddaughter said she had to potty. Told her we would be somewhere in a few minutes and I heard a quiet voice from back I don't poop my pants." I asked if she would sit on the container and go and she snatched it from me. (Little gal had to Go!) Handed her some baby wipes to clean herself, popped the lid on the container and opened the windows. Her only complaint was that her little brother did not give her any privacy. Hahahaha.

I live in Canada not far from Toronto (5th largest city in North America).
I have chastised some New Arrivals for not having a winter coat in their car in the winter. You can drive for an hour and find yourself a 6 to 12 hour walk from shelter and warmth in the winter, one of the reasons it is recommended you stay with your car if you skid off the road.
Even in the months when there is 'rough sledding' you can find yourself in a situation where you are a long way from anything that passes for Civilization, particularly if you go North or east into the Canadian Shield. Most Torontonians refer to as 'Cottage Country' (for obvious reasons). You can be on a secondary road (still paved and well maintained) and find yourself in a bad situation after a sever rain or wind storm with the road blocked or washed out. Emergency services will focus on the towns and cities and main roads first, before they check the secondary roads.

It isn't food, but "canned heat" is stable and will keep a long time. A simple flame source to heat water for your oatmeal and noodles could make a difference.

People don't seem or want to understand the weather where they live.
You probably live in an urban environment, but what was it like 100, 120 years ago?
All people see are paved roads and buildings.
A LOT of people have moved into the area where my family have lived for over 100 years, and they are amazed it gets to 100 deg. plus on a regular basis, 6 months out of the year.
They say "it's not the desert around here why's it so hot? "
What I'm getting at is, you're right to be mindful of what you pack in your vehicle.
Thanks for all the info you bring us, and sorry for being
looong winded. 😄

I have good luck with little bags of unsalted pretzel sticks. They are basically mylar sealed already and handle temp extremes well. Gets the hunger off your back but not so appealing they get snatched before the tummy really starts to rumble. Unsalted to not provoke thirst.

Keeping it in an esky & wrapping in cloth as well could really make a difference to the shelf life!

[MrLandphill]

anyone driving a long distance, at least toss in a couple boxes of granola bars and a pack of water.

I take a half a cup of minute rice, and vacuum seal it. I tested just putting cold water in the bag. It didn’t take very long before it was rehydrated and it was fine to eat. Of course it would be better if you put hot water in it which I also did, it did not damage the bag.

[TXJan]

I might suggest lentils are a better choice than pintos. I love pintos but they do require more water and longer cooking than lentils.

[misolgit]

those Rehydration sachets I don't know about US here in UK we can buy them in a soluble tablet form packed in tubes just like soluble vitamins these tube are crush resistant water and air tight

[ptsdpenguin]

Great information. I keep water and I take food on road trips. Great video like always😊😊😊😊😊😊

Have kept a few individually sealed water pouches, seems ok after 3 winters with temps below freezing

[FishHuntFreedom]

All of this food is nice to have and can definitely help but digesting does use a lot of water. If you are stranded in the middle of no where during the summer, I would limit food intake and make sure you have PLENTY of water. Water is the most important prep always IMO

I had one of those puffy bags of Hormel pepperoni in my pantry for ages. Finally took it out a month ago. It was over a year past its date and I figured it would be rancid. It was absolutely delicious. Turns out it has an oxygen absorber in it. I don't know how it would do in a hot environment, but in a pinch, I can imagine eating it on a cracker with some ketchup....

[Justno-hmvk]

I really appreciate this info about what things will last in my trunk. Thank you.

[jerseystotler]

Thank you for the great advice! Most people I know can not afford the high prices of the freeze dried foods now days!!! Everything is so expensive!!! I am a Senior Citizen and on SS and it has been a struggle to put back some canned foods!!!!

I live in SW Florida... It's HOT! I have learned through trial and error what does work and what doesn't work. I appreciate you making this video as I was thinking about making one.
