I like the idea of a tin of rice pudding though - will be adding that!
As a footnote I drive all over the highlands all year so there is potential to get stuck due to snow/floods etc.
Good call on the rice pud 8-)
I also carry a couple of the flat pack tuna-based potato "toppers" in foil packets, along with some Clif bars, coffee packets and tea bags. I've got a small knockoff MSR Rocket (from Wish.com) and, as a backup, I carry a small fold flat Lixada wood stove, just in case. In other words, no big surprises.(Poncho, shelter kit, SOL Bivvy, wood saw, Sawyer Mini, etc, is a given, obviously).
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not all out to get me

One thing to bear in mind with the fruit purees and other high fibre stuff is that if your body isn't used to it, it will go through you like an Exocet so maybe worth having some extra tissues or the like. :o

Immodium is something else to have handy maybe.
Or failing that, a cork. :mrgreen:
