Whilst camping, the meals are easy and quick to prepare in order to save fuel, and the ration packs themselves must be well packed to avoid deterioration. The packs contain food for a balanced and varied diet providing around 3500 kilocalories for each person daily.

Sample Food Ration PackThe supplies consist principally of:

  • Freeze-dried meat
  • Several varieties of dried soup
  • Dried vegetables
  • Rice
  • Tea
  • Coffee
  • Drinking chocolate
  • Orange drink
  • Biscuits
  • Chocolate
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • Porridge
  • Dried milk
  • Multi-vitamin pills
  • Extra chocolate...!
Water will be made by melting snow and the water purity is exceptional. Cooking will be done over paraffin fired primus stoves, the most dependable and robust system.
