Carried two meals in a wool sock, well two cans of meals add in the dry stuff in the butt pack you tied off the socks for three, four or five days worth then attached them were ever they would fit.
Not only the meals but the load bearing gear is so much better now.  |
Ramen is lighter, but the ones in foam containers have a shorter lifespan due to the eco-friendly styrofoam breaking down. The ones in plastic are more compact, one is included in the "Hunger Buster" ration in a Japanese ration book. the plastic bowl ones are more bulky, but some tasty options are there. Probably will have to measure water to get weight. If one eats two kinds of food, which weight applies? I.E. 1kg domestic, 1kg wild food is eaten by a character.
