Before you go

This kit uses a specific sample menu and planning assumptions. Food weights, calories, packed volume and fuel figures are estimates; stove timings and fuel use have not been field-tested. Check your own product labels, dietary needs, equipment, weather, drinking-water access and campsite rules, and adjust the plan for your trip. The backup meal covers one dinner only.
