Dartmoor 24 Hour Rat Pack Challenge....

[Tank]

I dont see the challenge here.........unless its the old ration packs.

Ive spent weeks on exercise living of about half a rat pack per day (as the old ones were rank and mostly inedible)

For godsake man dont push Ivan! Did you not see what happened when I posted? the guys will end up living of 1 pack for a month!

 

[whats wrong with you all]

This sounds like a great idea! Would love to if I wasn't away at uni.. Good luck to all those involved

ROFLMAO.........sorry.........

A real challenge,

Spend 2 days living of nothing but the Old menu "corned beef hash"........with NO Tobasco sauce!!!!!!!!

I personally - along with most of my old Batallion - would prefer to starve.....

Put me down for that please old man it would be more of a challenge if there was only one rat pack between 6 ,
Is wild food allowed ?

How many calories are needed to sit in the woods for a weekend, it's hardly strenuous work is it

LOL....

That's a valid point for all ration packs, British, American, or others. To get the full calorie count, you have to eat everything including ALL the condiments. otherwise the stated calorie count goes down.

i could never tell the difference between the Kendl Mint cake and the hexy blocks !!!
Both tasted the same, same texture etc lol

No It isn't. The normal recommended (average) calorie intake is only around 2000-2400/daily (2800 for an AIDS patient) The military rations are designed for men with a much higher activity level. That said, while they have more than enough calories, they aren't necessarily all that filling.

Good points there mate, that reminds me you can bring a hound, and neither said animal or their food will be weighed!

Ivan...

Absolutely Young Man! And any wild food foraged within the confines if the wood are positively encouraged, bearing in mind the whole wood is only 2 and a bit acres and iit's boundary is well defined.

The Kendal cake lit better, and burned hotter too.

You'll get the big boys burying food caches the week before to "forage"

LOL. Am I the only one who actually liked the corned beef hash?

 

[Ivan...]

It's a bit of fun lads, with a little test as most of my meets do consist of top grade grub, and endless wanders to the shops to replenish, there is also the chalenge of 48 hours in the same woods, tougher for some than others.

I think it may surprise a couple.

Me more than most!

Bring it on! Something a bit different, which, if successful will be tweaked to make it more hardcore, maybe in the kinder foraging months!

Hi Dave, i am good, just trying to work out which weekend is best, once i have some definate interest, hopefully within the next 5 weeks, so if anyone can confirm it may help with decision, i am lucky so pretty flexible.

Bearing in mind, now Tank has changed the rules (and is washing his hair, that weekend!)

It will be from 12..00 Noon on the Friday to 12.00 Noon on the Sunday, apart from Mouse, who we will collect in April!!

Ivan...

I'd have a go but would probably cheat with a sandwich stash. Will all bags be searched thoroughly first?

If it's 1 rat pack between 6 then forgive my earlier post.
