I bought a small heater element I can set in my stainless steel mug to heat water.. It needs a plug but takes seconds. I found a curling iron silicon cover to store it in. I have a trip coming up and I have a 4 hour layover. So now I can make oatmeal, soup, instant coffee.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Excellent! I love having that hearing element! Especially if I’m staying at a friends house and I decide I want a hot cup of tea or soup late at night. I don’t feel like I have to go rummaging in the kitchen to get hot water I can stay in my room and heat water up and make my own tea right in my room!

[@jbloveday9538]

Yes we often used the immersion heater a lot when we travelled overseas. I wanted to buy one in Italy and didn’t know what it was called, so using my Italian dictionary I asked for “something to boil water in a cup”. The guy in the shop knew exactly what I wanted and opened a cupboard full of them! 😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@jbloveday9538 that’s great! I think when you travel overseas you start to realize that not every hotel room is like a U.S. hotel room. Sometimes you don’t have anything to make a cup of coffee. Oh you noticed the coffee maker is disgusting. That little thing doesn’t take up much space but it can provide you really hot water when you need it for a cup of tea, coffee, or soup or just getting some hot water to use your wash cloths and clean up.

[@NormAuParadis]

The dried food mix is such a pioneer hack. Cant thank you enough for bringing out genius ideas. GOD BLESS.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! It’s the best way to bring food because it’s not heavy and can be rehydrated! We need to remember how are pioneer forefathers travel because they knew it best! 🙏❤️😊

[@MaggieValera]

I don't think I've seen food on an airplane since the 70's. LOL My family has a tradition of stopping at Subway for footlongs on the way to the airport. We have the same dehydrator! Even if you don't have a fresh garden to pick from, you can put frozen vegetables right in your dehydrator. I'm a pumpkin spice person, and pureed pumpkin dehydrates really well. Also, check out the True Lemon brand, they also have lime, orange, grapefruit, etc. I make virgin mojitos (I call them No-jitos) with True Lime, mint, sugar, and water. You can also make your own "backpacking-style" foods. Cooked pasta, cooked rice, cooked beans, all dry & rehydrate really well. You just don't want fats because they don't dry, you need a freeze-dryer for those. I've even been able to dry my chili. My grandmother had crazy high blood pressure (1970's) so she did some rather "unique" things when cooking that I just enjoyed. One of them was boiling ground beef. Mixing water with ground beef will actually absorb into the meat, making the fat separate easier. I like using this method when working with kids, because if you bring it to a boil, you know that it's all evenly cooked and higher than the minimum safe temperature of 165 F. Drain the water, the fat goes with it, then you can season your meat. Also, if you like leaner meats like turkey, buffalo, etc, you can cook it through without it getting dry. That method will allow you to dehydrate meals like spaghetti Bolognese and chili. You can throw your dehydrated meals into your suitcase so you can have a good meal with absolutely minimal when you get where you're going, take of the bra and kick off the shoes.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Another fantastic video Eunice! Everything from great packaging to products and tools! A very good friend of mine turned me on to a product called true lemon packets, which is a dehydrated lemon powder that you can mix with a little water to use like lemon juice that you can add to your arsenal of things on your longer trips to keep you fruits from oxidizing or have a little lemon in your water or tea... I just love your ideas keep them coming!

I love it when you post another video! Airplane/travel food is a great topic, and your ideas are awesome, as usual. You have come up with such clever solutions! I hadn't thought about dehydrated veggies - what a good idea! I buy a veggie combo at my local food co-op, since I don't have a garden. I always take a roasted orange sweet potato or Japanese sweet potato for the plan. They often catch the eye of TSA, but have never been taken from me. :) Thanks for another great video, Mary Poppins! 😉

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much Colleen! Japanese sweet potato is a great item to bring! Full of fiber and vitamins! I was thinking that you could heat it up and wrap it in foil and maybe a cloth and put it in one of those insulated bags that I have in the video and it would keep it warm for you to eat on the plane. It would be interesting to give that a try!

[@jenharvey3397]

Thank you for the great ideas. I always have a water filter bottle for cold water and a thermos for hot water. I got a couple of the green bags on your recommendation, and although I haven't flown since the pandemic, I have found them useful on numerous occasions. As I write this, Vancouver airport here in Canada is full of exhausted travellers who have, in some cases, been there for days. A very packed flight was delayed, and everyone was stuck on the tarmac in their seats for 15 hours - passengers said there was no food in all that time, and they were only allowed a couple of tiny cups of water each in all that time. Because you never know what will happen when you fly, especially at this time of year, I always make sure I have 5 days worth of lifeboat rations in my 'plus one' carry on in addition to any snacks I might have packed for my flight. Those things can be a lifesaver if food runs out and you end up stuck somewhere you weren't expecting. "Survival tabs" are easy to eat, come in smaller packs, and can fit into tiny empty corners of your bag. I also pack a few Millennium Bars and Soldier Fuel bars.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Wow! You are prepared! My boyfriend is flying right now. His original flight was canceled so he drove 150 miles to get to another airport and catch a new flight! Crazy storm!

[@jenharvey3397]

I am up in Ontario, my mother lives nearly 4,000 km away on Vancouver Island, and we are both facing environmental conditions that make it pretty much impossible, and certainly not safe, to leave our respective homes.

I am traveling for 2 weeks in a few weeks and my challenge is indoor and outdoor plants. Have you covered how to take care of them while on vacation? I’m in the Bay Area as well! We could be neighbors ha

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi there! First of all I’m so happy you were able to find my channel and have found some great content! I do have a container garden and it is on a drip system. So it gets watered every other day automatically. For my indoor plants I just make sure I give them a good watering before I go and if I’m only gone for two weeks then I’m not too worried about it. If I have smaller plants that require water a little more frequently then I’ll put them all into a pan and put some water in the bottom the pan so they can soak it up from the bottom. I have tried a couple of the watering systems like type where you put a bottle on top of it and let it water but it turns to either 1. Not give enough liquid or 2. Everything comes out all at once into the plant. If I’m going to be longer than two weeks I have been blessed to be able to have my parents stay at my house and take care of my indoor plants.

[@san-ramon-flash8077]

Again, great ideas of using the pan! I’ve looked into the bottle method but I wasn’t sure it would work. Now I won’t waste my time/effort! Thank you🥰

A meat slicer is definitely your friend, and I consider this to be what really separates the men from the boys figuratively speaking.

Your collagen soup looks fantastic! I will have to try putting together something like this. ( I don't have a garden or dehydrator.)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Marlene! that collagen soup is very tasty and very good for you! Since you don’t have a garden or dehydrator there a couple of options. First you could buy a dehydrator which I would recommend having if you have room in your place because you can buy frozen vegetables and place them right into the dehydrator and they will be dehydrated overnight and you can put them in mason jars or mylar packages and keep them for emergencies as well! The second option is to go ahead and purchase dehydrated food from a place like Amazon and then mix up your own. Those mylar bags from Amazon are great because they come in several sizes and I can use the larger sizes to pack large amounts of dehydrated food from my emergency kit and then I use the smaller ones for my travel. Hope that helps give you some ideas on how you can prepare yourself at home and for travel! 🥰

Hi Eunice. This was another awesome video. Where did you find the white container you carry your apples and carrots in? What size it the bag you keep your utensils separate from your food?

[@TheoryofSimple]

That little container that I keep my carrots and apples in is actually just a little hardware container that has removable dividers. I know it’s not exactly the food safe plastic but I’m not keeping anything in there for very long. The Ecobagit bag that are used for utensils is size small. I have several of these in all three sizes and I ship them around and use them for different things that I usually keep at least one with me at all times.

You could bring powdered whole milk, not powdered skim milk which doesn’t taste so good, add hot water to make warm milk for your dried fruit if you didn’t want to bring yogurt.

[@talaysia6]

Love the video! But this would cause extra scanning and testing at my airport. Especially if it’s not packed in a clear bag. The powders would set off the sensors and need to be tested. I had this happen with a small sample pack of protein powder I had. They actually had to open it and get samples before. But I’m going on a couple of long hauls pretty soon and may just go through the extra to bring what I need. Thanks for the ideas!!

Can I ask where your home airport is? It’s always good to know these things because every TSA is a little bit different.

I show in the video that you just take your insulated container to a restaurant or a coffee shop and they will usually give you hot water for free.

First, I love your channel so don’t get me wrong when I say, peanut butter should be on your no fly food list. Those (young and old) with peanut allergies, even smelling peanuts could cause a reaction. I believe it’s one reason why airlines stopped serving peanuts. And should any say those with allergies shouldn’t fly - consider we’re all in this together and a little kindness and consideration goes a long way - not to mention both are a two way street. Again love your channel and thanks for another great video.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching the video and your feedback. Although I do have to say that airlines are still serving peanuts because my flew last week they did serve peanuts. However I do have a friend whose son is highly allergic to peanuts and when he flies they have to alert the airline ahead of time and then the airline will remove peanuts. That being said the airlines cannot control the people won’t bring things like peanut butter, pretzel stuffed with peanut butter, peanut butter crackers, peanut butter cookies or other related peanut snacks so it’s really up to the individual of the allergy to make sure that they wear something like an N 95 mask to prevent them from a reaction. I personally will ask the people seeing on either side of me if it would bother them if I had peanut butter. If they were to say yes then I just would not mix it up and that is the beauty of having powdered peanut butter with you is that I can mix it up once I get to my hotel or Airbnb and still have a snack. 🙂

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

While truth peanuts aren't the only allergies that people have, well it would be nice to not have to deal with that it's not a strangers responsibility to deal with another person's allergies.

[@chelsabrinkman417]

I have to disagree. An N95 will not protect against all peanut allergies, so I think as responsible travelers, we do have to take our fellow travelers’ health into consideration. No one needs an emergency landing due to avoidable anaphylactic shock.

If you're that super sensitive and can go into anaphylaxis when I unwrap my shrimp sushi 🍣 or peanut butter granola bar, you better have your EpiPen out and ready to go.

Where did you get the container for the apples and carrots ? Does it seal well?

[@TheoryofSimple]

The container for the apples and carrots is actually a hardware container. Seals well enough for this but I wouldn’t put any liquid in it per se. The little dividers are removable so you could take them all out and put something larger in or just a range of how you want them. Note that they are not a food safe container but I feel that since I’m not keeping anything in there for very long I’m not that concerned about it. I chose it because it’s small, it had removable dividers, and a hinged lid. I believe I either got this at Michael’s or a hardware store.

Love it! But you wouldn't be able to take fruits and veggies from Hawaii! No produce :0(. Hawaiian air gives you a free meal, but it's less than healthy. They also give you a free alcoholic cocktail.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes, you always have to find out from your airlines what the regulations are and follow them. I have found that if something is cut up in a container I’m usually allowed to bring it. However if you’re bringing fruit that is just a whole fruit they usually don’t let you bring it because of certain pests that can come along with it. Of course the dried fruit and veggies would not be a problem. And those are always a safe bet to have on hand just in case you have a layover that gets extended beyond what you thought and you have a way to get yourself a little something to eat. I once had a layover for six hours when it was only supposed to be an hour and by the time they announced the Leilas were extending all the restaurants were closed.

Hi Hapa sister and bay area sister! I am so excited for you to go on your trip! I have a little tip for you since you’re traveling with some food.

Another hack as if you don’t have a garden and you want to dehydrate some vegetables to go ahead and buy them frozen because they’ve already been blanched and all you have to do is stick them in the food hydrator to get them dried for your flight!

I appreciate the concept and application, but I find that simple things like even just reaching down to my personal item at my feet itself is sometimes just a chore. Managing a whole food ritual inflight would be unimaginable to me - and frankly, with the volume resulting, not worth my time. I am a "volume eater" and those little tiny amounts would be just enough to tick me off considering the effort needed. LOL. I do carry things that I can eat quickly if I need a boost; trail mix or crackers tend to fit that bill. Otherwise, I'll eat what's provided if there anything. I fast for periods of time, so I'll use the flight time as a time to do that and just not worry about needing to eat anything at all apart from a quick grab n go while my seat-mate is up. Plus, I'm not a fan of hauling around things that become dead weight to me. I'd rather pack two sets of disposable cutlery / chopsticks and toss as I go. My pre-flight and during flight protocol involves not eating in general as I don't like having anything in my gut to make me bloaty. Sorry to be so blunt - but I hate having a gas bubble in my colon begging to be free. Emptying out the whole system and keeping it empty until I get to the ground is usually the better way for me. Now....coffee on the other hand......

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Jonathan, and thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, everyone is different with how they pack and these are just suggestions. I used to be a volume eater but I found that due to that I had fatty liver disease and needed to try to control my blood sugar and blood pressure. I also practice ia bit and fasting so for many flights I don’t eat anything, but I always bring some snacks in case like you’ve seen a couple of my other videos, I was stuck for 36 hours and was happy I had some thing with me to eat since by the time we got to the airport in Albuquerque everything was closed and it was too late to get anything from the hotel. I like to carry my own cutlery and sometimes my food containers because they are used during my trip and I really am trying to get away from single use plastics. But I do agree with caring deadweight. If it’s something you really aren’t going to use, you definitely should not be carrying any extra weight. I know especially for men and taller people that there’s just no leg room on those plans so if you can get any sort of space to get your feet underneath the seat in front of you that is more important for your comfort😊❤️🙏 and about your frankness with the gas bubble! You’ll see in this community that we are all very frank and I think most of us are at the age where we just know that it’s OK to talk about these things you’ll probably hear some weird things come out of my mouth in the videos🤣😂

I always observe fellow passengers on board flights. Most people are not preppers so they bought food from coffee shops and diners in airport or from flight attendants. The preppers would whip out food they prepared before reaching airport. Can people who don’t prep change? I personally don’t think so. It is not in their DNA tbh.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I think it comes down to a few things and it may be that people don’t know how to prep it could be that they don’t want to because it’s just not in their wheelhouse. I think people who fly a lot and have experience some issues while flying tend to be more prepped for their trip. When I pack my bag to fit under my seat I always think about what I actually need on the flight and then Kohl’s and things that I may need if they lose my luggage or for some reason like bad weather you are stuck in an airport without your check luggage and you just want to be comfortable and safe. I think when things like that happened to you you learn different lessons about packing.

Glad in hospitals nurses cannot wear strong perfume or cologne But we will be more aware of like strong perfume stink sneezing farting toe jams but we cannot please everyone that’s life and reality Someone maybe pregnant can’t stand smell or have chemo and nauseous or just not feeling welll So best to bring mask and maybe hoodie to cover head that should help And portable fan to deflect smells. And maybe have mints gum or something to ward off smell so you only smell what you chew. Anyway Eunice terrific video again love it Thumbs up all the way up

Hi Jeanne, thanks so much for your feedback! Well everyone has a different sensitivity to smells. I think that we just all have to be cognizant that when flying in close quarters like that we should try as much as possible to be sensitive to other peoples allergies and sensitivities. I want to live on a plane and a man removed his shoes and his feet smelled so bad that I could smell it 3 rows back!

Yes that’s why I said toe jams farting stick sneeze. Strong perfume that we gotta really be considerate

If anyone is eating any fish or seafood in an enclosed space near me, I will be sitting there trying not to vomit while plotting their death.

[@TheoryofSimple]

That’s why I say don’t bring any fish on a plane. That smell can make somebody really sick. It’s just too small of a space.😊

I love your dehydrated food options and the healthy food alternatives! Despite your healthful efforts, I'm disappointed to see you wearing a smart watch, which in my opinion exposes you to unhealthy EMFs in excess of what our bodies must already endure these days. If you haven't already considered the potential effects of it on your body, maybe you could look into it. 😽

Hi Vic, thanks for your feedback and concern. All electronics expose us to EMFs. Carrying a phone in a pocket does the same and has stronger EMF. We all chose our vices. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, eat much sugar and bad oils. I walk and do some resistance training. This watch also alerts me to Afib so for me, it is a chance I am willing to take. I don’t sleep with it on so hope that is some consolation.

@@TheoryofSimple Hi and thanks for your reply! You certainly are mitigating potential dangers with your clean lifestyle. And I'm glad to hear you don't sleep with it! Sorry, I hope I didn't sound preachy but I have an emf detector and those watches and fitness trackers pulse repeatedly and really tax the body. At least with a phone, you might tend to leave it off your body for a good portion of the day. One thing I still need to do is get my cell phone out of the bedroom when I sleep. Ugh it's so hard to move away from the great conveniences! Love your videos.

Why not carry some plastic forks wrapped in plastic instead of a real fork?

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m trying to reduce the amount of single use plastics that I carry and also I have had times where those plastic forks are broken and then you without something. Caring a pair of chopsticks like this always guarantees I have a way of picking things up. And these backpacking forks and utensils are so light that they really don’t add any weight but it’s up to you you carry what you want and what makes you feel good. It’s just in my experience those plastic forks don’t hold up.
