Yah, me too.
I keep mine topped up with enough dehydrated food to keep 2 people going for 7 days easily, or 14 if it's well rationed. A propane camp stove with a spare cylinder is in there, along with salt, sugar, a fry pan, 2qt saucepan, cooking & eating utensils, coffee, tea bags, a 2qt kettle, powdered milk, dish soap, cups, bowls & a coffee pot. I leave a first-aid kit in there too & I always have 5 gallons of water ready to go. Matches & 6 or 7 butane lighters are in there, a spare flashlight 12 AA batteries, a bottle of hot sauce, dishtowels, ibuprofen & bug spray.
There's bunch of other stuff in there, but I can't remember what.
