Diane, those were the good old days, My Brother and I would go to Indian creek south of Corydon Indiana and fish my grandfathers 116 acre farm, thats where we grew up, my Grandmother, Lenora loved fresh caught fish, if she found out us boys caught and released fish, she would scold us. She loved fresh caught frog legs, she was born in 1891, weighted 85 lbs and could cook so good it would make you cry. I miss those days, when we get to pod and get out in the fresh air, fish and walk it takes me back. I miss those days.

I cast a mean glare at the squirrels in the woods around my home daily becasue they eat all my bird seed most the time.
I can't wait for the chance to take the .22 out and about and start having squirrel and gravy for breakfast every morning like I did growing up as a kid. Need to work on my foraging skills a bit though, I could find a Morrel in the woods but not much else.

Sounds like I should add "gravy mix" to the list of supplies.

We were out of power for 5-days when hurricane Irene brought trees down all over CT. They only restored power to the main roads and then took their time getting to us. Our r.pod was parked 20mins from our house but we couldn't get to it until day 3 and couldn't tow it down to the house until the end of day 4.
Luckily we had plenty of advanced warning and I was able to pickle, jar and cure meats and vegetables out of all the frozen meats in the fridge and then cool and put them back in the fridge to keep it full and cool when the power went out. I managed to save (and eat safely) all the food we had, but our neighbours that didn't have generators lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in food from their fridges and freezers. For short term, we have enough propane and charcoal to boil water on our grill and to cook anything we catch, and a steripen and iodine tablets from our wilderness camping days. We also have enough tea lights to provide decent lighting for fumbling around the house. If we were in a similar position in the winter, we would have probably driven up and stayed in the r.pod for warmth. |

Can someone bring squirrel stew to one of the Roundup potlucks?
To answer the OP's question, we have 'pod kitchen kits in 2 plastic mouse proof shoe boxes that do double duty as emergency kits. The contents are: 4-oz bottle of cooking oil 4-oz bottle of olive oil spices, sugar pepper salt flour cornstarch cocoa powder hot chocolate mix Starbucks via a tin of assorted teas a tin of tuna in oil a tin of spam a small tin of condensed milk one or two tins of soup a box of pasta a few packets of oatmeal a few packets of ramen cup noodles 2 x 2.5 gallons of Poland Springs water (the one with the spigot) We also have a third plastic shoebox in the house, ready to go, that has chocolates, individual boxes of parmalat milk, some jerky, nuts, granola bars and other snacks that would prefer a more temperature controlled environment. So for podding trips, we just add the fresh food and frozen water bottles. Pod-based non-food emergency items would be a headlamp, 4 x space blankets, basic first aid kit, waterproof matches and a large Pure Beeswax emergency candle in a convertible tin.

Wow , may change the name to Survival Pod, I think if you are smart, you should have a plan in case of an Emergency due to Weather etc. In the Midwest we have nasty tornados that may level your house but, 50 feet away everything is ok. My brother who is well read tells me that any Dinty Moore canned product has a shelf life of 20 plus years, when I was a young bachalor I lived on the beef stew, it was pretty good, I am thinking of stocking up, not sure which direction this country is heading, its not the "andy of mayberry" That I grew up in. I dont like somethings I am hearing in the media. Keep safe people, take care of your family first. God Bless us all.
