There is a reason that people rarely bring salad on camping trips; its horribly inefficient from a caloric standpoint when it comes to not only weight, but in calories required for digestion. The corollary of course, is that protein bars are a suggested item for every survival guide kit because they offer an extreme amount of energy in a tiny, easily transportable package.Overall, it is important to strike the correct balance between quantity and quality of food when packing for a possible survival situation or camping trip. While no one wants to eat military surplus meals the entire time they are in the woods, it is hard to argue against an MRE as they are specifically designed by the military to provide a maximum amount of calories while taking-up a minimal amount of space.

The KISS concept, or Keep it Simple Stupid, is an old military acronym, usually mentioned by the lowest level of soldiers as they attempt to implement an overly complicated plan or operation designed by someone far removed from the chaos and unpredictability of the battle field. When it comes to survival equipment, many people ignore this maxim, and attempt to cram as many items as possible into their kit.Ideally, unless any item can function in multiple roles, it should not be included. For example, while a hatchet is a great item, in most cases, any task that it would be needed for could most likely be done with a quality knife instead. Multipart functionality is the reason why a solid hunting knife is at such a premium in a survival kit. A solid knife, with a thick blade and heavy, single piece tang and handle, can be used to chop would, hammer pegs, spear fish, and anything else in-between.
