Ok I have talked about my 48 Willys CJ-2A before its been built with the idea of LONG trips some of them into the much less traveled parts of the PNW. I am currently finishing up the Structured Insulated Aluminum hard top I am building for it. In the ceiling of the hard top I built in two storage trays. The trays are 2.5" deep 11.5" wide and 21.5" long Into these two trays I want to pack a mini stove with a couple fuel cans (I already have this) A small cooking kit: Sauce pan, Tea pot, 2) Bowls, forks, spoons, a small kitchen knife, Plates and cups Think backpacking kitchen. This should not take up more then half of one of the Trays (I already have the Kitchen for the most part) So I have roughly 920cu in to fill with food. Water will be handled separately in a bulk container.
Because of their BULK I am shying away from traditional survival outfit foods.Plus I want to stay away from foods that are high in starch and sugar (health reasons)
Thinking 2 people 3 days
Shelf life won't need to be more then say 6 months as I don't mind rotating into the home pantry.
I'm thinking of making up a cardboard box the same size as the trays and throwing it in a shopping cart and wandering around Safeway (wife has worked for Albertsons Safeway for 38 years) and seeing how much chow I can pack into the trays.
Should be an interesting exercise
