Nutrition is gonna be a big issue when I'm out for 16 days, and there won't be any supermarkets around to sell good camping food. And if I couldn't catch a rabbit in Scotland I won't be doing it in the desert. So I'm making a list of food to bring that will hopefully last me a week at least.I'd like to see if anyone has suggestions to add. So far I have.
Oats or quinoa (quinoa has complete protein, but isn't as tasty)
Cans of fish (fish gives more nourishment per weight than other meat)
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds as a snack/protein supplement
Tea can make the harshest environment seem like home. Provided you can get a fire started.
Wholemeal biscuits
Protein drink powder, (ultra lightweight, for emergencies)
Some packets of sports drink mix in case of dehydration
Cliff bars (that's my brand, yo)
Powdered milk
I'll be purifying water with chlorine tablets. Supposed to be easier on your liver than iodine. It'll make the placid mountain streams taste like swimming pool, but oh well.
Comment with suggestions/experience!
i could do with a little knife like that lol
ReplyDeleteYour going to be camping in the desert? o-o
ReplyDeleteMorocco, yeah. I talk about it in another post. It shouldn't be too hot in March, though, and the melting snow in the mountains should provide water. Maybe.
ReplyDeletethat knife is really neat. sounds like an adventure, good post!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget medicine my bro went in morroco and was sick 7 hour after landing :/
ReplyDeletesexy knife
ReplyDeleteBear Grylls would be proud of that knife :D
ReplyDeleteAdventure ready ;D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd kinda like to actually live through this, so I won't be doing anything Bear Grylls would!
ReplyDeleteBear grylls is hardcore. Respect.
ReplyDeletemust be just me, i love quinoa :P interesting stuff you got here
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess that chlorine tablets aren't gonna get rid of all that flouride.....right?
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm swimming pool water
ReplyDeleteinteresting idea bro - following for moar :)
ReplyDeleteSweetness, I'll remember this next time I go out camping
ReplyDeleteSurvivalism is the best, I've always wanted to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a badass! I can't wait to hear more about your survival trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog - I love all this Ray Mears survival stuff. Definately one to follow.
ReplyDeletegood plan, will be very interesting how you managed to survive
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent info! Following for sure.
ReplyDeleteeeeww chlorine tablets really? How can that be good for you? I always thought you could just boil water to get rid of the bacteria. Can't wait to see what happens next!
ReplyDeletethx for the info!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just survive like Bear Grylls: eat everything you find and drink your own piss.
ReplyDeletenice knife
ReplyDeleteOne good thing would be to pack some sort of flour and camp near a water source, it wont be amazing but hey, gravy with every meal will fill you up. haha.
ReplyDeleteWow, huge respects for your hobby. Would like to try something like in the movie Cast Away. Could maybe give different kind of perspective to own life.
ReplyDeleteCheck mine blog too and add yourself to follower if you like it, peace! :)
Bear Grylls eats stuff before he knows what it is lol
ReplyDeleteThere is no finer food in the world than oats. Oats and some meat and I could live happily ever after :)
