Just a thought, but for some conditions you could try and find out what gets done in rural parts of the developing world or places with limited supplies? I imagine doctors in isolated hospitals in poor areas have come up with a fair few ingenious, low-tech or reusable options for things the NHS spen...

I buy the 40p/kg value rice and it tastes fine. Just normal white rice. Cooks a little bit stickier than the next brand up long grain rice, but no problems with it taste-wise. Not sure about it lasting a month at a meal a day, though: A kilogram bag usually does me about 12-16 servings when I'm havi...

Great point, and something that is easy to overlook. Curry powder or turmeric would be a favourite for me, as would garlic powder. Oregano or italian seasoning is pretty versatile too. Though carrying a little baggie of herbs might raise some eyebrows in more everyday situations

Probably be good to have a couple of different options to use - candles okay for use indoors if in a glass or something for safety (also a tealight can help you light a fire outdoors); LED/battery lights and lanterns ideal for brighter indoor lighting or torches (I like the Rolson 72 LED work lights...

This is brilliant. Tea can also be a big morale-booster. Yorkshire Tea or Sainsbury's Red Label is what I normally go for.

I've had a couple of Batchelor's Cup-A-Soups in my time, so dehydrated soup is possible/does exist. Homemade soup is lovely, but would it still be better than tinned if dehydrated and stored for months/years?

I have always found that buying special offers or much cheaper tinned food means either less content (e.g. beans in BB can) or a less quality product. Always buy the more expensive (or at least not the cheapest) products for emergency use. What could be more frustrating to open a can after TSHTF to...

Might be an idea to include a toilet/bathroom?

Read a couple of places now about tins "back then" where heavily tinned, that's why the food was still edible thirty or whatever years later. But tins now supposedly only have a thin layer of plastic inside them, and therefore the contents will have a drastically shorter shelf life. Urban...

205 litres is still a lot of weight to move when full, sounds like a team job to me. Do you know what the best man-portable containers are? I guess 15-20 litres is probably about most people's limit to carry safely.
