Compact emergency food supply.

[TeeDee]

No, this is an emergency pack, If I get delayed I will have 48 hours worth of food.

So far;

Big block marzipan (nourishing, storable, easy to eat, tradable, fun).
salami sticks
dried fruit
oatcakes
choc bars
horlicks/tea/hot choc
cheese
isotonic gel

If you are diabetic (?) then a few of those whilst tasty should be discounted

I am a fan of dried sausage. Also, big tortillas for making impromptu burritos/quesadillas ... but if it is just no-cook, 'waiting-for-the-boat' food, I'd take a big bag of almonds and raisins and half a dozen cliff bars, big bag of crackers and a jar of PB. Some dried apricots. Cuppa-soups, hot chocolate sachets

 

[TeeDee]

Not healthy but loads of peperami , side pouch of Babybels , tins of fish , instant mash

Vacuum packed, home made, all-butter flapjack with mixed dried fruit and a few chopped glace cherries in it

Lasts ages and is truly delicious.

I strongly recommend making several differing slabs well in advance so you can experiment to find your preferred additives to the recipe (I like chopped dates and choc-chips as well as the dried fruit )

@mrmike and @Tengu (in another thread) have suggested fruit/Dundee cake. I was serious in my suggestion of pork pie.

We are talking keeping going, not lifestyle so a tin of Dundee cake and suet pastry pork pie would do it for me.

No it would'nt last ages, every day would be an emergency day for me. Be lucky to get any even vacuumed packed.

You should see the size and thickness of the slabs I make Even a gurt lump like me can't eat all of it in one go !

Plus one for vacpacked flapjacks. Homemade with lots of fruit & nuts. They are so high in sugar that they keep for months this way. Another bonus is you can break them up for porage & just add warm milk. I’d add some fruit leather as well, for chewing on now and then.

Baby food fruit pouches. Easy to digest, easy to dispense. Tasty.

I've just bought a bunch for an event on Saturday. They do work well. Also found some from the same event last year, still in date - they store for a good length of time!

I definitely think a vacuum sealer is the way forward. Theres so much you can do with one and they’re very inexpensive.
