Burning More Than Wood: How to Keep Your Energy in the Wild

Burning More Than Wood: How to Keep Your Energy in the Wild

Show notes

Today’s focus: Backcountry calories, simple meal planning, and faith for “daily bread.”

From the book: Primitive Camping & Bushcraft, p.182 (dehydrated/freeze-dried options, flavor add-ons).

Why calories matter: Field burn ≈ 3,500–5,000/day vs ~2,000 at home; shivering, climbs, paddling all spike needs.

Pack by calories, not meals: Target ~120 cal/oz (peanut butter, nuts, olive oil, granola, jerky, calorie-dense rations).

4 rules for the field:

Eat by the clock (adrenaline hides hunger)

Fat is your friend (dense fuel in cold/long treks)

Rotate meals (morale > monotony)

Carry one emergency meal (MRE-level calories)

Freeze-dried “Primitive Camping Rations”: lightweight, calorie-dense, small-batch options; custom runs available.

Faith segment: Matthew 6:11 (“Give us this day our daily bread”), Joseph’s planning, manna trust, Elijah fed by ravens—prepare wisely, trust completely.
