[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 181548, member: 8"] Some food items to look at to augment MREs. Idahoan Mashed potoates - two serving pack Bullion cubes Dry spice such as Barbeque Ramen noodles Instant rice Foil packages of Tuna, chicken Shoot a few grouse or rabbits to help out. I looked several times on the internet but never found a really good source of mixed dehydrated vegatables at any price I was wiling to pay. My concept of food is that the evening meal is heavy duty and consists of meat, carbohydrates (pasta, rice, potatoes, beans) and vegetables. The only requriement is that it be warm, salty, and filling. I do not pay to much attention to lunch. Breakfast is either instant oatmeal or instant cream of wheat. I will probably remember some more food stuff and add that later. 5 gallons of camp water containers. The fold up ones with the spigot are cheap, light and small and you can burn them up when you are ready to leave and not bother packing them out. One for canteens and one for camp use. If you are systematic and not lazy you can fill them up at noon and put tablets in them and then when you get back to camp in the evening the water will be disinfected and ready to use. If you want something better than just water, there is gatorade mix and Crystal Light. Gatoraid has lots of sugar in it and is heavier per quart of mix but Crystal Light has no food value. Braided nylon construction twine is great stuff and much better than the twisted stuff. First aid pack with antibiotic creme, antiseptic, bandaid, really large bandages and rolled gauze. Tylenol, etc of your choice. You should be prepared to deal with a seriuos injury and keep the person alive. Duct tape can be used in place of medical tape so don't pack tape twice. [/QUOTE]
