I'll add my vote and say MRE/IMP'S they are a lot of calories in a small space, everything in them (aside from the coffee/drinks) can be eatin without heating/cooking and some of the damn things are actually prety decent tasting when hot. I like the maple sausage and it comes with bacon has browns that are edible too lol. Avoid egg dishes. Prety much anything you can buy in a can (stews n such) will be about the same as your average can version. The beef stew and beens n weiners are good examples of that lol.
Plus they come with coffe/tea snacks like pb or jam and bread/cracker utensils dessert like fruit cup or chocolate bar or a muffin or cookies. Really each one is a days worth of calories with no heating or extra water needed. And if you want to heat them it only takes a few teaspoons of water in a heater pack and you can even heat water in a water bottle for hot drinks, wrap it up in a heater bag it'll be hot in a few min.

What my Mate and I use on backpacking and hiking trips a buddy burner and a small can of canned chili usually Stag chili, that we can add our own seasoning to. Have yet to use these in a airsoft event, but they do work and its nice on colder days and evenings.

Instant noodles have zero nutritional value.

Tastes damn good though.

What he said. Bread, smoked/dried meat and cheese, canned beans maybe. Some coffee. All that food takes a lot less space than ammo

Definately not carrying cooking supplies. Gotta grab it from a pouch, minimal prep, eat and go. Gotta carry everything with you and stay light. It all sounds good though.

Might want to reconsider that! A hot meal or drink goes a long way on cold rainy day!!! Filling a nalgene with hot water for warmth could be a lifesaver. A jetboil or other backpacking stoves are essential kit. For example my cook kit weighs less than 1lb with fuel....that will get me 9-12 2 cup boils depending on the weather.

I leave the field and buy pizza. Or wings. Or get a big greasy country breakfast.

Good luck with your IMPs. :P

A jetboil is required Kit - Hot Drinks go a long way in the middle of the night.

[Wilkie]

Don't forget nails, hipsters, and weakness. But only for breakfast
