I'm curious as to why nobody seems too concerned about food?
I always bring 1 or 2 of those meals just in case..
As you guys know, they only weigh a couple ounces, you only need 8oz of H2O
to cook it, and a full belly goes such a long way.
Opinions on carrying food? Regards,Mike

I added my fishing kit, does that count? Figured on catching a few fish with some local bugs / worms <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> If not...I'll eat the bugs / worms <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I always keep some food. But if I am limited to 4 items on top of the supplied items food isn't a big deal. I have been without food for more than 2 weeks with only weakness and weight loss. In a cold environment food helps you stay warm.

For 48 hours a shelter that is dry, a way to stay warm, a fire and water is plenty.

1. Dogfather
2. A good book (in a plastic bag to keep the water off the pages)
3. 1xMRE
4. 1xMRE

If its only 48 hours, and I got the other things you supplied, it would be like a nice little vacation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I like this line of thinking. I'm not much of a reader, so I'd probably go

1. 6.5 Reg(those MREs are tough to open)
2. frogg toggs suit
3. MRE
4. Spot Satellite Messenger (to text for help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

I have no experience surviving, but that would keep me alive for quite a while.

I just realize when I read "water is plenty" how plentiful it actually would be since it would be raining.

Is a 6 pack considered one item?

1. DogFather
2. Magnesium fire-starter
3. gore-Tex suit
4. Mountain House 4 person meal

With the afore-mentioned supplies items and these, you could stay dry, warm, fed, and sheltered. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
