corvo,

this is indeed a good list. But have you done the math of the kg´s. Seems a lot for carrying in a bagpack on foot, once the carfuel has run out. And nine days on two liters of water per day is extremely limited.


suggestion 1: replace the kgs of the water by/or add Chlor (you can find in a store for swimming pools) It decontaminates water very effectivly.

suugestion 2: replace the cans and all the other heavy food stuff by high calory dry dried food and high energy power bars... you can live on three mars bars a day.

take care out there
