Have any of you guys experimented with making your own long-lasting rations? Currently putting together a BoB, and I want to prepare my own day rations instead of buy expensive pre-made shit.

I'm thinking stuff that only needs water/spices added, like:
>oats
>instant noodles
>sardines
>crackers
>peanut butter
>nuts
>etc

Any ideas/suggestions/experiences?

You need to define “long lasting”. 20 years or 2 months? Peanut butter will go rancid

then take instant noodles and sardines out of your list
Also yes, tuna/salmon packs are good (look at the best buy date first of course).
Crackers, unless prepackaged in small packages aren't great, get the crackers and cheese type things from the snack area of your store.
There's actually a crapton of vids about this on youtube that will give you far better info than I can, I've only done this for a few trips, usually I just use mountain house.

I'd say ~3 years. If I can easily make them myself, no reason to not just go innawoods once in a while and then make new ones afterwards.

It’s a bugout bag. It’ll hopefully never be used. So just buy legit rations once and you don’t have to worry about it or find out in 5 years when shtf and hospitals are unavailable that your shit gave you botulism and you die.

Perhaps our definition of bug-out bag is different. My definition is “bad shit is happening, need to go lay low innawoods for the next two weeks, I’ll grab my bugout bag that has some survival food and kit”
not “I want to go for an impromptu walk in the woods”

Why not both? The shit you need for going hiding innawoods for a week shouldn't be that much different from the shit you need to go camping innawoods for a weekend, except for food amount.

Also, found some of these on sale. Got 3 boxes.

Because something like a military ration or freeze dried meal (mountain house if you want to be fancy) has a shelf life of 20+ years, and is great for living or survival. But for a weekend leisure camping trip, there’s other things I’d personally rather eat who’s shelf life isn’t that long and requires more upkeep (summer sausage, hot dogs, cheddar and crackers)

Yes, but then you'd have to go and buy those before leaving, hence missing the "fuck it, let's go innawoods right now" point.

The freeze dried shit is good, but expensive. The whole point of this thread was to get cheap alternatives that might only last a couple of years instead of 20+.

But then you’re raiding your bugout bag, and it won’t be ready when it’s time to bugout, and you’d probably be carrying a lot of items you don’t need for a simple camping trip. It’d be easier just to keep a pack ready with some water and snacks in it for impromptu jaunts.

But that's not what I'm asking for.

I know you don't get it, you unironic autist. The point of a BoB is to be able to go from one moment to another. Wanting to fuck off from the city without any prep, just for the sake of getting away, is a legit reason to have a BoB. It's not just an end-of-the-world thing.

That is not the purpose of a bugout bag. You are just applying your own definition that literally no one else uses.

It's a "fuck outta dodge" bag. Hence, one where you're ready to go from one moment to another.

Because the gear you need changes from season to season, specifically clothing and insulation. My winter setup is different from my summer setup, and both are different from my shoulder season setup. My winter rain gear is different from my summer rain gear.

You can easily have a kit that works for 3 seasons, and for 4 seasons as well with a change of sleeping bag and outer clothing, unless you live inland with insane temperature swings.

Canned is fine, hence sardines. Just that most of the stuff that's canned is not really calories dense, unless you get ready meals, which are expensive.

It's for going innawoods from one moment to another, nigger. Usually, normies only do that for disasters. We do it for fun, so BoB's have dual purposes for a dedicated sc/out/.

I have a nagging feeling camping to you is something done in a RV.

This “well it could be the worst case ever” is fucking stupid. It’s using the absolutely last effort as a first step. If you’re power was expected to be out for a few days, would you run away to the woods and start foraging for berries and hunting rabbits? The “roads could be completely destroyed” scenario is nonsense, as it’s literally never happened.

OP, you're getting shit on. May be a good reason, may not be, whatever. When people say "bug out bag", the phrase, in COMMON USAGE means that shit has gone wrong and you need to dip for a few weeks.

What you're referencing is more like a day pack or overnight bag. The phrase "in common usage" applies here, kind of like "Band-aid" or Neosporin. You can stock both, but aside from testing and gear rotation, your BoB shouldn't be touched. It should sit in an out-of-the-way corner. BoB and a ready-to-go hiking bag are two separate items. >>1788697 said it best. Only complete psychopath larpers want to go camping every time with a BoB. No one wants to eat fucking calorie-mates for 3 days inna woods and suffer under a tarp. That's what a BoB is for. As much stuff as you can carry, and still be able to move long distances if need-be.

Regardless of this stupid argument, check youtube. There's thousands of "trail ready" meals that have exactly what you're looking for.

With a bugout bag, you’re generally going to carry important documents, a much more extensive medkit, a rifle and/or sidearm and ammunition, a saw or hatchet, cash, perhaps a few extra pieces of clothing, sanitary supplies, etc. there’s plenty of bugout bag lists on the internet. The size depends on how long you expect to bugout for, and your planned bugout location.
>but I carry all that stuff when I go camping
Do you go camping for two weeks or a month straight without being sure when or if you’ll ever be able to go home.
This is why op’s unproven bugout bag meals aren’t necessarily a great idea. When hospitals are closed because shtf and he has severe food poisoning, it becomes a much larger issue. If he just wants to go backpacking and make some dehydrated meal packages... great - but for legitimate survival, not so much imo.
