Food

Winona’s Dad Says: Needs to be calorie dense, easy to prepare, palatable hot or cold. MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat), freeze dried camping meals, energy bars, trail mix, beef jerky, and dried fruit are good options. And remember, a little imagination goes a long way: next to warmth, food is the best way to create a sense of well-being and boost morale.

Winona Says: My brothers and I used to eat military MREs for fun when we were kids. They're surprisingly good.
