May I suggest a 12v crock pot also. Because, eating cold spaghetios/soup/beans etc in sub zero weather doesn't cut it. BTW, having can goods etc. is a good idea at any time, as in those dang meat packing plants located 15 miles from any town and you're sitting there for hours on end waiting.

If it comes down to it I'll just eat the co-driver.

LOL Donner party table for one

I do about the same. Meals Rejected by Everyone are generally rather tasty, now. Sometimes I'll have one for lunch as a "healthy" choice over the regular truck stop food

Two weeks? Where you running?

First thing I make sure of is to have my bags of kitty litter, that stuff has saved my bacon in ice. Last year I had a driver tell me he'd been driving 25 years and never heard of using kitty litter, said he thought it was working better for me than he'd ever seen sand work.
I double the water which means 48 bottles. And I triple the diet coke. Trust me........diet coke is a survival need.
I bring extra blankets, long johns for both of us, hunting socks, extra shoes and sweats for both of us. You can pull sweats over your clothes.
As for food: tuna (in the envelopes, it may cost more but stores and uses much easier than cans) canned meats, canned stews, canned veggies, noodles, canned soups (both for eating and to use as sauces), tomato sauce, canned spagetti sauce, extra bottles of mayo and ranch dressing, a big block of cheese. (cheese can be stored anywhere it's cool)
That's emergency food not our regular food which has fresh meats and veggies. -
does cheese keep for a long time?
-
Block cheese will, not processed cheese. Cheese is created by a method that makes it a food that can be stored in cooled places. If it forms mold on the outside just slice that off. Mold is a natural process for cheese. But once you get processed cheeses (kraft slices etc) that has to be refrigerated. Also un opened velveeta cheese can be kept without refrigeration even though it's a processed cheese.
