| Jan 20, 2018 at 19:33 | comment | added | paparazzo | @JamesJenkins It is going to rain the whole time, no way to keep it dry, and will be exactly 2 days? You create artificial conditions and dismiss what does not fit. The pack suggested by mattnz has a longer shelf life and higher calorie density. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 12:21 | comment | added | Toby Speight | Wow, that's a big range - AIUI, North America ranges from permafrost in the Arctic to hot deserts in the tropics. I think the only foods that will survive that will be tinned foods. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 12:19 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @TobySpeight any environment accessible by automobile on North America. I travel all over all seasons. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 10:09 | comment | added | Toby Speight | What kind of climate? That makes a real difference to what will survive in the car environment (where heat can be more extreme than outside, and there's almost no insulation against cold). | |

| Jan 14, 2018 at 10:01 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @mattnz Your 3 days of rations are in a single non-resealable bag. Not really a good solution for walking a couple of days in the rain. | |
| Jan 14, 2018 at 3:50 | comment | added | user5330 | An pack of survive-it.co.nz/civil-defence-home/build-your-own-kit/… - long shelf life and all the nutrients and calories you NEED in an emergency. Compared to power bars about 1.5 times the energy density and 5 year shelf life. Has the advantage if you find yourself eating it, you know its a genuine emergency. | |

I'm also pretty skeptical of eating during activity, unless swimming for days is really the use case I'd expect to take rests much more often than I need food. | |

| Jan 12, 2018 at 16:53 | comment | added | James Jenkins | Where one type is all the servings of a type of ration. There should be multiple servings of each in the supplies. | |
| Jan 12, 2018 at 15:53 | comment | added | James Jenkins | An energy power bar has about 220 calories, a complete MRE has about 1200 Calories. 5 PowerBars have about the same food value as an MRE, weigh less (I thnk) and take up less room. MREs are more complex to eat and parts are subject to crumbling. They both have similar shelf lives, and good packaging. In a stationary scenario (or with motorized support) MREs are great, but moving on foot power bars have the advantage in short term events. | |
| Jan 12, 2018 at 15:02 | comment | added | Jon Custer | MREs would be a good option. People eating things as snacks are a separate issue in my mind to me. | |
