Broke out the old Ronco dehydrator (the prize for sitting through a timeshare sales pitch) and started making my (our) own emergency/camping rations.
Back in our back packing and sailing days we would dehydrate suitable leftovers after dinner. Then, when we planned a trip, we had a stash of dried ingredients (vegetables, sauces, and beef [haven't tried chicken yet]) that were light weight and didn't need refrigeration.
The first picture is bagged Mexican rice, plain white rice, and garlic-potato bark (mashed potatoes thinned with chicken stock to make it spreadable).
These are just test batches to help in menu planning. Deli ham is up next.
ETA: The worms in the second picture are added protein.
