Nicodemus,
I appreciate your analysis. I would be interested in the dimensions, if you can get them. I did see on the web site of the co. that the "white" ration is 500 gm. - I suppose net. That would be 1000 gm. per day times 21 days = 21,000 gm or 46.3 lbs. That is a lot, but doable. I own a full size Chev. sedan and PU w/FWD (I use a waterproof locker in rear for supplies). I think a food cashe of 46 lbs. would not take up too much of the available space.



I concur with your "get found" precepts, but plan for the worst. My current efforts spring from my analysis of the James Kim episode. Though I would not likely find myself in that situation (for a number of reasons), I have concluded that a robust food supply would do two principal things: (1) make waiting for rescue a whole lot more stress-free (my preferred scenario) or (2) enable me to be in a better nutritional state to effectuate escape (walk out). My current kit(s) are geared to long term self-sufficiency on food (snares, field expedients, firearms), but it now occurs to me that a food supply of compact and suffient duration has high redundancy - and comfort value! At my age, that last is a plus!
