It is the easy to eat sides and snacks that make a good ration and not so much the main courses........
I think we should all bare this in mind when packing a BOB or GHB or just for a long hiking trip.
As i don’t have access to MREs and have not been satisfied with commercial freeze dried meals for campers/hikers, and with MBs and CHs comments on eating on the move, these are my thoughts for my BOB (maybe not for yours - we’re all different).
Allow one meal a day, for three days, preferably that could be eaten hot or cold, straight out of the can, even if it’s only corned beef or tuna chunks in oil, or baked beans with sausage for example, with biscuits. Kept in main compartment of backpack.
Then cram as much chocolate, cereal bars and high energy stuff as i can where it’s easy and quick to get to.
Water on the move might be a problem without a hydration pack.
Over the next couple of weeks i will scrutinise the supermarket shelves for suitable products.
