We got stranded for one week in Fort Lauderdale after "Wilma" at a privately owned guest house. After the 3rd day, I scored some canned crab and shrimp and mayo and cajun seasonings and crackers, and FEMA ice. The SO turned some of the hamburger patties from their chest freezer into Chili on the grill and I made a seafood casserole. The neighbors showed up, the sky was clear and thankfully the temp was in the 70's all week. When the water came back on the SO rigged up Solar shower with the garden hose and tar paper and clear plastic from the storage room, (and there was much rejoicing). It actually turned into a nice vacation extension as they had several cases of rum, vodka and fruit juice stored. Even the local cops showed up in the mornings as we had coffee and snacks.

I guess 'stuff that's melting in the freezer' wouldn't be a ingredient.

I wonder if specific brands are products would be allowed? Or would that be more product placements/specific.

In my campbag..I keep some 'uncle bens' 90second rice, which just needs hot water to heat up. The Spanish rice of that brand is amazingly good, the others are really MRE quality...and some items like powdered sour cream, and powdered eggs aren't really available at supermarkets.
