Recently, we had some bad weather and lost electricity for a few hours. So, let's get some ideas going on for emergency situations, like no power, no water, etc.

Basic foods that don't need refrigeration:
For all phases:
Canned meat: tuna, chicken, turkey, corned beef
Canned vegetables: spinach, green beans, pumpkin puree
Dried meat: jerky,
Dried veggies: several camping stores sell "freeze-dried" vegetables.
Oil: peanut, safflower, olive etc.
Herbs and spices
Powdered cream: I haven't tried this product, but ExpertFoods sells it.
Powdered eggs and powdered egg whites

OWL and Beyond:
Nuts
Dried fruit: several camping supply stores carry freeze-dried fruits.
Canned fruit: there are no sugar added canned fruits on the market.
Canned or dried beans.
Canned vegetables: Phase dependent

If you still have refrigeration (all phases):
Dairy: cheese, eggs, cream,

OWL and beyond:
Dairy: yogurt

Cooking equipment:
If you have a grill, you're in luck. You can grill foods. Also if you have cast iron pots or a skillet, you can set it on the grill and fry or stew foods. Water can be boiled in a pot that has no plastic handles, etc.

Otherwise, you might want to invest in a butane powered hotplate.

Any other tips and ideas, post them here.
