survival food or camping food?

That's a fair point about weight.

The reason I say about a differentiation between camping food and survival food, is because when going a few miles off the beaten path (or away from the car park) you can carry more gear, e.g. camping, as opposed to travelling 4-5 times that distance, or more, when bugging out.

So, for a more enjoyable experience, camping with high quality delicious food will be more fun than bugging out with lighter dehydrated foods.

I'm all for carrying a light pack, however, when camping, I'll take a bit more weight because of the added extra luxury the croissants and jam will bring. Instead of surviving off beef jerky (as much as I love it....but not the price of it) I get to step up and wake up, to a lovely French themed breakfast...no not frogs legs haha.

The thing is, camping, can be a small walk of a few miles, which is easy enough, and when carry a small pack, like I do, it's nice to add extra weight as luxury food. However, when bugging out, light and calorie dense is the requirement.
