Grab n' Go Disaster Kits Blog

During those natural disasters and emergencies, one of the things that rescue teams gave out to the victims is a 2400 calorie food bar. If you are thinking about it, this is a pretty large sum of calorie count, but when you are tired and worn out after having survived a tragedy, then this is simply what you will need to keep you energized for a few days. This is particularly helpful during those times when there are no food supplies you can find anywhere and you have no way of preparing food for you and your family.

These things can go for many years in your pantry, a shelf life of up to 5 years. Having these around is the best bet when you are faced during those moments where everything is but a matter of survival. The food bar contains all the required nutrients and calories victims need so they can sustain even without food for days on end. When these things are in your home, you can be assured that you and your family will be able to bear it all regardless of what tragedy may strike in your neighborhood.

I read an article about the dam breaking on Lake Delhi  in northeast Iowa When the damn broke the recreational lake which was a magnificent nine miles long,  drained away in just a few hours. This occurred after a mere 10 inches of rain. The areas below the dam including Hopkinton and Monticello had to be evacuated. The residents were ill prepared for such a disaster

With evacuation the residents had to find shelter and safety on higher ground. They were fortunate if they had disaster kits or at a minimum adequate supplies of water. The Aqua Literz , a 8.5 Fl Oz box of water with a 5 year shelf life would have been a welcome necessity. It can be easily stored, and with the potential for natural sources of water being disrupted would be beneficial to have  on hand.

Considering the hectic pace of modern life, it’s nice to have a place of retreat – either a cottage or a permanent residence – where you can get away from the hustle and bustle. Living in commune with the wild animals and stunning flora that populate America’s vast wilderness can be both exhilarating and life-affirming. Still, living far away from civilization requires thorough preparation.

In adverse weather conditions, roads occasionally become impassable. When this happens, it really pays to have a reliable source of food. You can rely partially on your own hunting and fishing prowess, but make sure to have a stockpile of emergency food supplies at hand in case the going gets especially rough. Don’t let your pride and sense of rugged individualism get in the way of wise planning.

Sometimes as children of aging parents we are concerned with whether they are getting the nutrition they need. Oftentimes they should not be using a stove and it is a hardship to get to the store to buy groceries, particularly if they do not drive. One solution is to purchase food with a long term shelf life that can be prepared by adding water. These meals are fully cooked, dehydrated and sealed in nitrogen packaging.

The meals come in buckets that contain anywhere from 56 servings to 1,400 servings. The meals options include food for breakfast lunch and dinner. There is a wide variety of gourmet entrees such as beef stroganoff, Cheesy lasagna, chicken cacciatore, macaroni, creamy chicken pasta, and chicken a la king.  Breakfast entrees include blueberry pancakes and oatmeal. The larger the supply obtained the greater the variety of meals provided. For many elderly parents this variety would be an improvement to the meals they are eating on a regular basis and provide a significant nutrition advantage.

Given the ease of preparation, almost any parent who is lucid can prepare these meals. It does not involve utilizing the stove which is not recommended for many seniors due their forgetfulness.  Most meals can be eaten as prepared with water but if preferred can be heated up for 30 seconds to a minute in the microwave. I have tasted the meals and once hydrated are quite delicious. As a note these are not MRE’s the military acronym for Made Ready to Eat Meals. Those meals have no flavor and resemble cardboard as they are not precooked. before packaging. That is not the case with these meals and I think you’ll find the meals are satisfying, nutritious and delicious.

Are you prepared for any emergency that may happen? It can be a power outage or a natural calamity that can suddenly occur. Aside from your emergency first aid kit, you will also need emergency food. Water and basic food for survival will be needed for such emergencies.

You will be able to find an assortment of survival food supplies that you can buy. They have a very long shelf life from 5 years to 20 years. So, you can store them up in your basement for quite a long time. Some of the food requires no preparation at all, such as an emergency high energy food bar. You just have to open the pack or can and it is ready to eat.  Some will need water and a heat source to prepare the meals. But whatever you choose, make sure that is can support your family for at least 3-5 days.
