Most useful/useless items on remote climb

[sobo]

Low Grade Smut... Always a good decision!

 

[Buckaroo]

Depends how much hiking/climbing your doing. I know on the Ptarmigan traverse that we spent 10 days on I ran out of food on the last day. Of course that's 60 miles and climbing about 8 or so alpine peaks.

 

Also some fatty foods like butter or olive oil. Canned fish seemed to hit the spot also.

 

If you plan your meals like a normal long weekend trip you'll run out of food. After about 4 days hiking/climbing you start to eat more each day.

 

Of course if your flying in and out and not hiking much this info may not apply.

 

Tent bound you can make a chess set out of paper and pen.
