  • 12 days of food

    Backpacking websites are good for planning lightweight meals. The longest unsupported/no resupply trip I've done was 10 days (on foot). Breakfast of porridge with powdered milk, butter & sugar and instant coffee. Lunch of trail mix and a flapjack or waffle. Dinner was a few blocks of instant noodles with butter, dehy vegetables and beef jerky, and chocolate for dessert.

    I had a dehydrator but it broke - since then I have just used the oven and it's fine. You can buy those little hotel-breakfast-sized packs of butter for extra calories; they don't seem to go off even in hot weather.

    What are you doing about water?

    I suppose I am teaching you to suck eggs here as you seem to have it sorted. Make sure to give us a proper trip report!

  • I went for quick cook porridge with dried fruit and milk powder, home made bars, jelly blocks and noodles as snacks, couscous and tuna as lunch and rice and pasta with 'look what I found' sauces. I've been able to collect water from streams for all but a 3 day stint where I had to carry 3 days worth.
