Why it's on my list

A month of food for one adult in stackable, oxygen-free packaging: 2,100 calories and 57 grams of protein a day across a dozen menu items, from oatmeal and multigrain cereal to potato stew and rice pudding, plus an electrolyte mix. One order is the bought-and-done layer while the shopping list fills in the rest, and the babies and children page shows how to size a child's share from an adult ration like this one.

What's in the box

A month of just-add-water food for one adult: 2,100 calories a day, 400 servings

This is the bought-and-done layer of a food plan: one order covers an adult for a month while my shopping list fills in the rest, and my babies and children page shows how to size a child's share from an adult ration like this one. Everything in it is just-add-water, packed in oxygen-free, stackable long-term packaging, and the menu is built on cereals, rice, pasta and stews rather than a bucket of one thing.

Breakfasts

Three cereals, 100 servings

Why it's included

Breakfast is the meal that keeps morale up in a long outage, and hot cereal is the easiest hot meal there is: water, heat, five minutes. A hundred servings of three different cereals means a month of mornings without eating the same thing twice in a row.

What's in it

  • Brown sugar oatmeal, 20 servings
  • Creamy wheat cereal, 40 servings
  • Multigrain cereal, 40 servings
2

Rice, pasta and grits

The calorie base, 200 servings

Why it's included

This is where the calories come from, and where variety counts: five rice and pasta dishes plus grits, so a family is not facing plain rice on day nine. Each cooks in one pot from one water source, which is the reason when the stove is a camp burner; the fuel to cook a month of it is on cooking fuel and fire.

What's in it

  • Spanish rice, 40 servings
  • Chicken flavored rice orzo pilaf, 40 servings
  • Savory beans and rice, 40 servings
  • Buttery herb pasta, 40 servings
  • Cheddar cheese grits with green chilies, 20 servings
3

Stews, sides and dessert

The meals that feel like dinner, 80 servings

Why it's included

Two stews and a cheesy rice are the dinners; the rice pudding is the dessert, and dessert is not a luxury on day twenty of a hard stretch, it is what makes people sit down together. Sized at 20 servings each so they are the treat, not the staple.

What's in it

  • Campfire stew, 20 servings
  • Hearty potato stew, 20 servings
  • Cheddar broccoli rice, 20 servings
  • Creamy cinnamon rice pudding, 20 servings
4

Hydration

40 servings of electrolyte drink mix

Why it's included

Heat, work and a stomach bug all pull electrolytes out faster than plain water puts them back. Forty servings of drink mix is the easy answer for the days when someone is sweating or sick; it is also the thing children will drink when they will not drink water.

What's in it

  • Electrolyte hydration drink mix, 40 servings
