What sort of calorific intake do you go for per day?
My 2-3 day pack (25 litre 'Regatta') is an all-up weight of 9.7Kgs (including, food, water, and Solar battery charger/bank)
Food for 2+ days (breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper, tea bags, milk, sugar, cocoa, flapjacks etc) comes in at 1.13kg
Water 3x 500ml 1.5kgs
Water Filter Pump 237g
So 'base weight' (excluding food and water, stove and pans) = ~ 6.5kg
With sleeping bag, full length mattress, pillow, 2-man (sitting height) tent, footprint, GPS, trowel, 1st aid kit, clothes, wash kit, headlight, knife, etc etc etc.
'Clothes' consists of simply :
T-shirt, Pants, Socks, Poncho, washing kit (Towel, soap, comb), pair 'camp slippers', and spare boot laces. Total weight 456g
My Kcal intake is 2000 per day, typical 2-day menu :
Breakfast Lunch Dinner Supper
Day 1 Porridge Cup-A-Soup Spaghetti Bar Chocolate
Cup of Tea Twin Granola Bar Bolognese Cup of Cocoa
Cup of Tea Flapjack
Day 2 Porridge Pasta Mug Shotz Shepherd’s Pie Bar Chocolate
Cup of Tea Twin Granola Bar Extra 'Smash' Cup of Cocoa
Cup of Tea Flapjack
Nothing too heavy for lunch or I tend to get 'stitch' or 'cramps' if walking too soon after eating.
Just for comparison my 5-night pack (65 litre Berghaus) weighs in at 17.8kgs but has 3 litres of water, food for 5-6 days, complete change of clothes + jacket, etc, bigger gas cylinder, radio, kindle, fold-out solar panel kit and battery bank etc etc.
