SPAM

There is a reason that SPAM is the #1 canned meat brand. That may sound like small praise to some, but SPAM is actually an awesome staple. When I was younger I would take it with me camping and eat it with just about everything. SPAM & eggs, SPAM stew, and toasted SPAM sandwiches. All super easy to make, tasty, and full of calories and nutrition to keep going.

Best of all, its also fully cooked, so even its pouring rain – or you can’t risk a fire, you can still eat well.

It has a stable shelf life of up to five years. Buy fresh stock, and then rotate it, eating the older stuff, and replacing it with fresh units.

Because its also very dense, it’s easy to keep a good supply at you bolt hole without taking up any real storage space at all, which is always at a premium. So stock up and be ready when the sh*t hits the fan.
