I have everything I need in my 30 day pack except food.

The pack is always in my trunk.

However, while I don’t really care about food for emergencies and have gone three days without it, at various times, on one of my little trips, it occurs to me that others who may be in my car aren’t programmed for that.

So my trunk isn’t further taken over I think I’ll toss what I need under the spare tire.

I’m guessing packets of tuna and chicken are good, easy to store and require an idiot to just pull from one side to open.

I’ll also include some other meals that you find in packages from Idaho Brand or whatever.

Top Ramen is delicious...to me and I suppose to the beggar “Well, what is your choice?”

I’ll even include a bunch of those no sodium chicken/beef broth packets.

Some of the people I know have blood sugar problems and I think it wise to include some gatorade and sugar of some sort.

I can even store flavor packets of Crystal Light for the water.

Hmmm....

I think I can put together 10 days for less than $25 bucks and you get at least one meal a day out of the thing for 500 calories.

Ain’t much but, beats listening to a bunch-O-whiners complaining about something I don’t see as a problem.

Then again, I haven’t been more than three days without food before.

Last time I did it I promptly walked into a steakhouse and spent a couple hours enjoying the steak and reading.

Left a good tip so the waiter wouldn’t be pissed about me taking a table so long....

Thanks for the article....

There are those of us who get headaches if I don’t eat on a regular basis. My mood changes, too, and not for the better. It took someone else to figure out the reasons for my mood changes.

My grandkids crunch up the Top ramen in a plastic bag and add the seasoning and it like chips.
