Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
this is another excellent (if small) book, it's a pocket guide to expedition planning as much as it sounds like a survival book. it sort of takes the view that prevention is better than a cure.
you can tell that it's been written by those who've witnessed the aftermath of many an outback adventure gone wrong.
highly recommended.
cheers, and.

I think it means either menu 1 or menu 2, although 8 servings of coffee in 24 hours sounds about right to me.
These are great Tony, thanks.

I realised that but either is loads more than I take to eat. Usually a packet of bicci's, a smoked sausage, packet of mixed nuts. Do take loads of water though
Not sure how big a "serve" is and I have no idea what sultanas are but I think I could easily eat menu 1 + menu 2 in 24 hrs.
