Compact, High Enegry, Survival Foods

While most survival foods will provide enough energy for the average daily routine, there are times when you may have to carry your food with you, or may be doing strenuous work that requires extra energy. In either of these situations, it is important to either be able to carry emergency foods that will give you the maximum amount of energy with the lowest amount of weight or to have supplements on hand that will give you more energy and enable your body to use the available food to the fullest extent.

Compact, high energy foods are those foods that provide a high number of calories and/or fats in a small package. They are most useful for survival kits when you will be traveling or away from home, and will not have access to your larger food storage supply. These high energy survival foods are common in 72 hour emergency kits and survival backpacks, vehicle emergency kits, and added to day-packs or carried by hikers, backpackers, and hunters as part of an emergency kit.

Some of the most compact options are the food bars and food and water packs included in our survival kit. These provide 400 calories per meal and are approved by the US Coast Guard, because these are the same types of bars typically used for emergency food in lifeboats.

MREs, or meals ready to eat, are also common. They take up more room than the food bars, but provide a full meal and a variety of foods in each meal. For those who want something similar, but aren’t found of the military-style MREs, the pouches of backpacker meals offered by Mountain House are a very popular alternative.
