We purchased our travel trailer in 2020. We were home with it for less than 24 hrs when we had to evacuate for a wildfire (which we never had before). We were evacuated for 10 days. The trailer is now always stocked with meals and ingredients and 5 days of clothing, along with laundry detergent. We can be hooked up and on the road in under 10 min easily. Because our trailer is very small and doesn't have much storage, we do eat from the food stores to supplement what we pack for our trips and I evaluate the inventory with each trip and restock as needed - but I always keep it full

I was thinking exactly the same thing! In an emergency, food would definitely be rationed in this house, emergency dependent.

We have a permanent campsite. We normally make a giant Costco run in early spring and stock the camper with the staples for the season. During the pandemic, I needed to isolate. It was so convenient to just go out there and not have to worry about food or clothing. Since that time, we have expanded our stockpile to include more emergency preparedness items and clothing for multiple seasons. We have the means to be totally off grid in a remote location for a long period of time. It brings such peace of mind.

This video brings back some fond childhood memories of camping. Gotta love Cindy & John! I have a sister named Cindy and a brother named John. LOl! We used to go camping every year for 2 weeks my mother packed and prepared meals to feed 5 kids and we slept in tents. We fished up in Minnesota and got enough fish to last the rest of the summer. When we got home, Every Friday night we had a fish fry and fed the neighborhood. My Dad put in the garden just before we took the trip on Memorial Day and my grandmother stayed home to tend to the garden while we were away on the long fishing trip. My mother would freeze water in 1 gallon milk jugs and she used that for ice on our trip to freeze the fish until we were ready to cook it. She was a butcher and rendered her own lard to fry the fish. Everybody said she made the best fish and it's true! Thank you for sharing your sister and her husband with us again. I really enjoyed this break I took from working in the garden. Time to get back to work.

Great idea! The only thing I'd change is to probably make up the kits for everything I'd need for a day or two, instead of type-of-meal-specific bins. That way, you could nest the empty bins or repurpose them for something like water collection. Plus, if you came across someone else in need you could pass them an all-day bin or two without compromising your own stash. Keeping the recipes in each bin is a great tip, in case the cook is away/down, or if you end up sharing with others! Love your channel! Thank you, Ladies! Keep up the wonderful information sharing!

Hi Pam, Jim, Cindy and John, Great video. This makes perfect sense. I always have my RV loaded with tons of food, baking supplies and such, as we are foodies! However, your idea is so very organized and with the recipes there it is a no-brainer. Finally we got our food storage organized. It was long and hard, but done. We need to open our bug out bags and see what we need to replace and what has expired. I love how organized Cindy and John are. They are amazing, as are you and Jim. I am still wowed by your gardening tip, Pam, with the PVC pipe and the seeds. Thank you all so much. Do you all have an EMP Shield for your trucks? We do, but we don’t have the RV one. If you have your solar generator with a 30 amp plug in it, you could plug your 30 amp RV into it, provided you have protected both with an EMP Shield, or the solar generator in an EMP protected box/bag. We still need to do our well with the EMP Shield. There is so much to consider and do. Being in our 70’s it is hard to think of everything, so I really appreciate you videos. Our family thinks we are crazy old people. It is nice to be able to be with like-minded people like you all. ❤. Oh! One more thing. Please get a yearly service check up on your RV’s. You need to keep them in tip top shape too. Our son is an RV Repairman. It is cheaper to keep up with everything than to have it break and get it repaired. The parts are getting harder to get my son says. So, get the air/heat/water tank serviced and looked at at least once per year. Take care of the black tank too. Pack any wheels as soon as it is time to with your RV’s maintenance schedule and rotate the tires. You need your bug out RV to be cared for prior to bugging out!

This is a wonderful idea and I will definitely adopt and adapt the system for our camper and our off-grid cabin. I sort of followed this idea just naturally for our trips, but not keeping a dedicated supply for an extended or unexpected emergency. My biggest struggle has been (since learning I am gluten and lactose intolerant), being able to pack a nice variety of safe, nutritious, tasty meals that will have a reasonable shelf life.

I stacked it all evenly on the counter (accounting for weight of things like cans versus lightweight boxes of crackers), and I measured how large of a tub (two, actually) we would need to hold it all. I went and bought two tubs for this purpose. I'm also planning to take most of what we keep in our fridge (minus lots of the condiments) in a cooler.

We agree, if you are not already "there," you will have a terrible time getting to wherever you are going via roads and trails, especially with missions of other cars on the roads. By boat maybe something else. Those are impressive numbers. Jim

What a great topic! I love watching videos with Cindy, she has such a great bubbly personality.

Yes, she does! Thanks.

Wonderful video!! Love seeing you sisters together! Have to get your book!! Thx so much for such wonderful info on being prepared! We love to RV and meet wonderful people! God bless!

I recently decided not to take any food on a trip or buy any until I used what I had stored in order to use up some pantry emergency items that were getting pretty sketchy looking with rusty lids and such. I had some canned tomatoes from the store, home canned items, a few other things and in my tiny camper I ended up being able to feed myself for about 10 nights just from the basic stock supplies that I had left. This is after having used it down pretty far on several previous long trips in the past few months. It’s pretty amazing how long some basic pantry items can go to feed you when you place items that you are able to use for meals that you will eat.

Thank you for sharing your sweet friends with us! I don’t have a trailer but it’s a great idea to keep the ingredients for a meal together if there were an emergency. Looking in a dark pantry trying to find ingredients in a power outage isn’t very fun. I especially like the idea of bug out kits that could be easily loaded up in the need to evacuate. As always, wonderful ideas and information!

Thank you for your comments. Lanterns and flashlights do help, but that also requires a a reasonable stash of batteries. Jim

Great video with such useful information. Thank you for sharing with all of us!

Good vid! Helpful. I would swear that you two are sisters! Thanks!

Stocking ones RV would be great if one had such a bug out vehicle, but the home comes first, several cans a week (started a while ago and rotate) and canning from the garden. Hunkering down or bugging out, RV or not, if I had to bug out I'd say a shorter wheel base w 4 wheel drive would give me an advantage over all the other 1000's of people on the road trying to get out of town; the RV might be bogged down behind traffic for days if you have enough fuel. Good luck.

My daughter had a 5th wheel that we evacuated from a wildfire in years ago and we went to an area where they had a place for everyone who was evacuated. As scary as evacuating was, it was a great comfort to have items we needed and a place where we felt safe. You and Jim and everyone in your family are so lovely, it’s always a pleasure to see you all together.❤

Yes, being in a safe place is comforting--during any situation. Jim

Fabulous, thank you!

RV = huge target in emergy bug out situation!

We do this also. I leave our camper basically ready to go including clothes and other necessities. Because we have our rig parked next to the house we check in often. I try to keep it ready to go at all times should an emergency arise. We live in an area that often looses power. I am able to live quite comfortably in the camper until power comes back on (we do have a generator) but it’s difficult for me to deal with at night with severe weather.

So organized and well thought out. Great Ideas.

Great idea
