Chorizo, 5kg of chorizo.
Chorizo and or peparami type stuff is a good call. I always crave protein rather than more sweet stuff or more carbs.
Buy one of these.
And make your own dried meals. Works best with mince meat dishes. ie chili and spaghetti bol. You can also make your own jerky and fruit leather.
When you look at the price of 'expedition' foods that almost looks worth it.
fruit leather - mmm, sounds lovely!
I always wondered how vegan shoes were made.

We don't want to eat rubbish - my experience of rat packs is not good.
Welsh cakes. I make mine with 50% butter 50% lard 🙂
Calorie dense, as they are basically flour, sugar, sultanas and fat.
I also found out today that they also survive very well in a top tube bag without disintegrating.
Ta for pecan and macadamia tip, i stocked up today. Shop owner confirmed they were highest calories per gram, plus they absorb the bad colesterol apparently. I bought the toasted ones but i reckon the natural ones would be healthier.
Great for rides as you can eat on the go.
So after much deliberation this is the package I have put together for two people / 4 days food ( needs half a kilo of cheese adding). 4 kgs inc cheese and well over 3000 calories a day each without being total rubbish to eat. Soup and main each night noodles / couscous / pasta. Oatcakes and cheese lunches Porage or oatcakes or cereal bar breakfast. 3 bars a day each, olives, peanuts, halva, sweets, chocolate. two cups of proper coffee a day and a hot chocolate. couple of teabags salt pepper

this lot is being sent to the hotel we are staying at half way round for resupply
What are the dog poo bags?
needs more rice pudding
the little bags are coffee measured out into correct amounts for each brew
Rice pudding contains water. No point in carrying water uphill
just a wee thanks to the folk making suggestions. We carried a fair amount of Halva and olives and the olives especially made eating oatcakes and cheese a lot much more palatable. Eating a lot of halva did funny things to my bowels 😉 I gained a few lbs while away! Mrs TJ lost a few! 9 days wild camping with one resupply made for carrying a lot of food. We got more calories per gramme than rat packs provide I think
thanks
