Hi, and welcome back.
I apologize for the absence; the past month has been really hard on me and I needed to pull away from most interaction to get my head and my soul in order. I'm going to ease back into blogging with a short, easy update post.
I mentioned previously that I'd bought two bricks of SOS Emergency Food Rations and that I was going to take a test hike with them, and that if I was able to carry them easily then I'd get two more because that would give me seven days of calories.
Well, the good news is that I was easily able to hike with the two bricks.
The bad news is that four bricks are just too heavy, and I aborted that hike a quarter mile into it.
However, all is not lost: I reconfigured the contents of my chest rig and was able to fit a ration brick in there, and I can hike with that configuration quite easily. This gives me (3600*3 = 10800/2000 = 5.4) nearly five and a half days of rations at 2,000 calories each, plus whatever supplemental calories I have in energy bars, soups, etc. I'm quite happy with this arrangement.

| I know it looks like I might be able to fit another ration brick on top of the first, but it won't fit. The bricks are taller than they are wide by half an inch. |
Next week ought to be the final post in my GHB series.
