True emergency rations, no convenience Trekking Food

Right at the beginning times sorry, that is a little longer. But it's important to me, the difference between emergency rations such as BP-5 and trekking show food (from various manufacturers), to avoid disappointment or misunderstandings.

Did the BP-5 ordered rations and also tested, and would like to clarify a few things, so that no false hopes or ideas arise. This is genuine emergency rations for times and situations where no other viable food is available. The use as a convenience Trekking Food is possible (as a Riegelchen between always helps ...), but misses the real purpose of this food.

If nothing else is available, which is often referred to 2000 calories will not be realized. Then is no longer a question of keeping its basal metabolic rate, but to survive, is available to new food, or just do not ...

If you really have to consume the food BP-5, the proverbial shit already is the fan. If the concern is only to survive, you will get along well with 1,000 kcal or less. Compare this with reports of castaways, downed pilots and passengers of various storage (any provenance to commit any misconduct PC) ...

The fact that sufficient nutrients are contained, an income of 1,000 kcal or less by BP-5 is probably longer possible to obtain without deficiency symptoms.

In principle applies:
Daily basal metabolic rate in [kcal] for men:
66.47 + 13.7 × weight [kg] + 5 × Height [cm] 6.8 × age [years]
BMR in [kcal / 24 h] for women:
655.1 + 9.6 × body weight [kg] + 1.8 x size [cm] 4.7 × age [years]

Then yes you can calculate how much you should take latches to keep themselves alive. To otherwise you go in BP-5 ...

Search all migratory birds after hip hiking bars, let me say that BP-5 indeed serves the purpose, but you just can not expect that it is ideal hiking food.

For personal Notfallvorsoge but a few packs BP-5, however, are extremely useful, if not obligatory.
