“Shitting like a crippled goose.” I am familiar with the effects of MREs unfortunately. Man, 37lbs sounds so unattainable but I’ll keep working my way down. Thanks!I did the same thing when I first got into hunting the high country. Every year, if I didn’t use something the prior year, it was removed from my pack. My pack for a 7 day hunt is now 37 pounds. That’s with food and 2 liters of water. I rarely hunt late season, so clothes don’t weigh so much.
Personally, I can only do 1 freeze dried meal a day. So I supplement with high protein snacks and liquid IV’s for electrolytes (I call em my HIV’s). And I gotta have my ramen. More of a comfort food since it really ain’t good for anything nutritionally. I will also pack a few MRE’s. I may be shitting like a crippled goose, and lose 10 pounds over a week, but I ain’t hungry.
Here’s the point I’m trying to make….like others have said, do a couple weekend trips to dial your gear. Learn what food combos keep your energy levels up.
Good luck!
