| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 45756425 United States10/07/2013 05:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Awesome! I just have that nagging feeling like I really should have some extras- these are some great ideas. I heard somewhere that dried beans (except for black?) and rice can be "cooked" just by soaking in water for a long time- can anyone confirm this? Rice is definitely on my 'to get' list. Ramen is a good idea too- I think each pack is 12 cents right now, so a whole month would only cost a few bucks. The beans in sauce- great idea, but I haven't seen those here. |

I dunno about beans It would take a looong time if possible as sometimes I let them soak for 2-3 days straight and it's still nowhere edible without cooking them. Soaking legumes is a must too to remove phytic acid, brown rice isn't advised as the phytic acid is too hard to remove |

On the go food they should skip walmart and order ER bars. There's not a whole hell of a lot one can pack for go time--I'm headed to the woods for a bit if town gets too crazy...I'm hoping I can trap/fish/bowhunt once my peanut butter and protein bars are gone, but if that didn't work, I'll be doing the good ol cooking bugs and moss with a bit of cajun seasoning. Pine needles are great for Vit C too. yum. I heard that pemmican, as long as the fat is rendered properly, is a great food- never made it tho. I'm more looking to build up my home pantry. I have a few months of food at another location, but realized that I really didn't have a good store at my own home. |

I wonder what else could be dehydrated in the oven (apparently fruit leather doesn't work). |
