Thread: Wapiti Ballot, 9 days of food....

hi, don't know if this is much help, just done a 6 day mission in the kawekas so here was my food allowances each day

breakfast 2x porridge sachets
Snacks 2x OSM, 2x Mini packets of Peanuts, 2x Salami Sticks, 2x Mini whittakers
Lunch - boil in bag rice, instant pasta or noodles ( different each day for variety)
Dinner 1 serve Dehy
Treats/Dessert - Choc coated Peanuts, packet of licorice, 2 serve BC apple pie x1
Tea/coffee/sugar/soup/milo

Pack weight with no food, ie clothes,daypack,saw,fm radio camping and cooking gear and hunting stuff ( binos rangefinder meatbag etc) 17kg
food weight per day equalled around 800gm-1kg

Since bad weather could have been expected and our route out was exposed I took an extra days food as per above

Id add an extra OSM per day

this was not fiordland but if I was, id base myself on that.

interesting to hear what others are taking as its not a topic that's covered lots with real world advice
