I'd take some Dry foods that don't need refrigeration :

- Potatoes / Flour
- Rice / Noodles
- Biscuits / Crackers
- Dried fruit ( apricot / pears etc ... )
- Beef Jerky / chewy stuff

+ Some wet stuff :

- Water ( you can't ever take enough )
- Long life milk
- Tin can meals
- Alcohol

Also handy are the ration packs you can get from defence ( which despite appearance, are quite tasty ) among other essentials ... :D

- Hmmm ... Chocolate ... :rolleyes:

& If you do have access to a portable fridge / freezer :

- Meat
- Veggies
- Ice-cream

Might come back to this as I rember what else ... ;)


Cheers, Bantum ...

I've never been away for more than about 5 days at a time, but we always used to just have tinned stews, stroganoff, rice meals, pasta sauce pouches. And for dessert a tin of rice cream heated up with some tinned fruit thrown in is always a winner :) Breakfast was toast and cereals and long life milk, for lunches we usually took plenty of bread, metwurst, some sturdy cheese, a cucumber, punnet of cherry tomatoes and of course a big bag of chips.

What you take also depends alot on where you are going and if re-supplies are easily available or are you going into the middle of nowhere for 2 weeks straight. In that case WATER! MRE's as Bantum suggests, dried fruit, nuts (scroggin ;)) 2 minute noodle type stuff, dehydrated etc etc.

And if you have one, don't forget to take the camping fridge!. I remember after putting up a big tent in the hot sun, sitting down with an ice cold fizzy drink seemed like an incredible luxury :) But then that was years ago when camping fridges weren't an every day necessity. And that time it was summer not winter like it is now.
Will it ever end!?
