Hi guys, new kid on block here, but bowhunting for 10 years.
Just reading about the ration packs. yech. tried 'em all and they're pretty naff. good point about the 2 min noodles tho', they come in real handy!
Also a pain packing the gear in the first place. I've got a SWB truck, and I like to travel light if I can, so the tuckerbox isnt really big (more room for eskis to bring the meat back-heh )
BUT, I also found it a pain to get back to camp carrying bow & gear AND kill, then having to raid a tuckerbox to make a decent dinner. I started making up my own mixes of stuff - basically skin the bunny, shake on stuff & cook. Yum.
My man's a fisho, so I make up stuff for him, so he can spin up-river all day, and cook his beauties in a little camp pan with my stuff on it.
Put in it in special cans for crush & water proofing, and they fit in your pocket. Jeep club dudes are trialling some stuff at the mo' and Field & game down here are keen.
I can send up a tin if you want to try it out.
Cheers,
