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

We did 9 days once, back in 1991, when there wasn't as much choice. Rice for bulk, peas for colouring, soup for flavour for dinner. But we got a bit sick of it after a while. Porridge for breakfast. Did take some brown sugar though. Luckily got an animal on day 2 so had some fresh meat.
Choices are a lot better now. For weight and bulk I would still go porridge, but it will use more fuel and has to be cooked. I've never tried instant porridge but that might be better. For shorter trips in a ziplock bag I mix up 100g toasted musesli, 2 spoons milk powder and some sultanas. All you have to do is pour hot water over it.
Lunch, crackers, cheese, salami. Might do pita breads or paninis for the first few days.
Dinner, mix of freeze dried and dehy meals. You use to be able to get tuna in foil packets. Or add some of the salami. Kaweka meals are nice but a bit heavier.
