Thread: What to pack for a 2 day trip - Kaimais

Had quite a bit of water but those meals just seemed to suck it up. Had easily enough for normal day hunting and some extra for coffee and cup a soup type of thing.
Compared to having a bit of steak and some potatoes and baked beans which gave more energy and not use any water.
Find dehy meals warm you up and fill a bit of a gap they are low in energy for what you are doing. With the weight carried with the water you carry far more calories in the other food.
Not a criticism just an observation from recent experience.

Yeah especially with an overnighter, just take some real food, leave the soggy cardboard(back country) for when space is tight on longer trips.
