At home or while traveling, there are a few handy food items to always have on hand in case of emergencies. The best food some may consider is whatever you have. While that may be true, what happens if that food is frozen, sealed up in a can or requires water.
The items below are all inexpensive and common at most any store. There are many options that will be higher cost or offer better nutrition, but the three benefits these all offer no matter the choice is that they are all high energy relative to cost, will hold up well to cold temperatures to keep you motivated and little preparation is needed. Here are five food items worth having during winter months at home or in your car. During the last weekend of every January is Winter Field Day. Amateur radio operators around the United States as well as other countries pack up cars, campers and back packs with what they need to be totally self sufficient for 24 hours while trying to make radio contact with others who are participating in this "cool" event.
Three different categories of participants qualify to be part of Winter Field Day.
There are some pretty detailed rules for how to make radio contacts which helps level the playing field for those who are participating either as casual or more serious participants. This event however is not just about radio stuff. This is a great way to prepare for how to be self-sufficient and goal oriented during a cold weather emergency simulation. |
