Camping & Expedition Logistics: Food Rations, Stove Fuel, Water Treatment & Gear Weight

Ration food, fuel and water for a fictional group expedition and share the load fairly between everyone's packs: person-days and calorie bands, lighter food swaps, stove fuel and canisters, treatment supplies from product labels, resupply carries, gear splits by body weight, contingency rations and a pack-weight dashboard, with every cell checked as you go.

About this course

This course turns expedition planning into spreadsheet work you can check cell by cell. For a fictional six-person, ten-day trek you convert activity bands into person-days, total calories and packed food weight, swap foods for denser ones at equal energy, and look up stove fuel per litre to round up to whole canisters. You size water treatment supplies from fictional product labels, plan the carry across the longest dry stretch, and track pack weight day by day around a food cache. Finally you share the group gear by body weight, price contingency rations from weather history and build a pack-weight dashboard with a chart.
