[QUOTE="Rothe, post: 2946550, member: 39813"] Those numbers are interesting. I'll try to find my own sources and forward those so you can make your own decison. I find the need for a gallon of water too high and a pound of food too low for non-desert environments. But it seesm the food requirement is qualified with "avoiding starvation", since people can live a very long time on "half rations" 1 lb makes sense. I'm of course thinking "normal" food with the 1 kg amount. If you start dehydrating it, etc. I guess 1 lb of iron rations per day makes sense. On water, I'd say 1 quart of water, about 1 liter, per day for pure drinking in a non-desert environment. The animal unit stuff I know but the tip of the iceberg, my farming relatives would put me to shame, what with my uncle and his "hobby herd" of 150 angus. :D Another internet source of info might be the military the US Army, and especially the Natick Army Labs, have reams of data on how much water and food one needs for combat effectiveness.
