Here’s a food storage tip you won’t get anywhere else.  Packaged diet foods from companies like Medifast, Nutri-System and Jenny Craig are packaged for long-term storage and contain a healthy range of nutrients and fiber.  Currently, I have a dozen or so Medifast drink packets in my Vehicle 72-Hour Kit.  They’re a lot more nutritious than plain cocoa mix or dried milk.

You can sometimes find this food on Craigslist or eBay, put up for sale by disappointed dieters, or try asking around to see if any friends might have cases of the stuff they’re willing to sell.
