Emergency Food to Bring in the Wilderness
from: Maxx Adventure TravelExperienced campers have learned that it's always necessary to bring an emergency food supply along on any trip. This is going to be a lifesaver if the group gets lost and finished their regular supply of food before rescuers arrive and get them back to safety.
Why is bringing emergency food in the wilderness important even if the campers can hunt for it instead? Simply that not everyone has the skills need to successfully kill an animal especially if the only piece of equipment available is a survival knife.
So you might be wondering what is considered emergency food? Is it that extra hunk of steak that's cooked before going on the trip? The answer is no.
Emergency items can be either a bar of chocolate or some canned goods since these won't spoil, unlike items that will certainly go bad if you keep them in a sealed container for more than a few days.
Chocolate is an important emergency food because its ingredients can help keep a person warm in very cold conditions and it will give you a sudden jolt of energy because of the sugar concentration.
There aren't any particular brand to take along but it's obviously best to take food items that won't easily melt and store in a plastic container. This prevents them from getting wet or ravaged by ants.
You could bring along canned goods of meat or fish products. Since these are quite small, you can pack a lot into a bag and just take them out when your other supplies run out.
What's helpful about having food in aluminum cans is they're easy cook over a fire. When everyone's had their fill, this can be disposed of so there won't be so much load weight in the backpacks.
If there are a lot of people in the group, have everyone bring several different kinds of canned products. Someone can bring tuna or any other type of fish while others bring ham or corned beef.
These should be easy to open with a key that's sometimes attached on the side of the can, or a can opener or with a survival knife.
Emergency food is one of many items required for any camper going into the wilderness. Even if it's just overnight or for a weekend because you never know what could happen or for how long the group will be there if the campers get lost or are stuck due to bad weather.
