Well of course youíre gonna get hungry, tramping takes up quite a lot of energy. So pack a picnic for you and your buds to munch on when youíre hungry. Also pack some snacks and lots of fresh water. Keep a sipper bottle with you in your backpack so you can just whip it out whenever you get a little bit thirsty. But itís pretty tricky when you get lost. Youíre starving! But all the food is gone! Itís a disaster, we know, but Kabluey knows what to do:

 Always presume youíll need more food: Pack a lot more food than you need. Think that you will need that food when you get lost. If you donít need it then thatís great, but pack it just in case!

  Pack energy bars and sweets: just in case you need that little bit more energy, itís a great pick-me-up and boosts your mood.

 Find a stream: try and find a stream. Make a fire and boil the water. This will make it drinkable and takes all the yucky bacteria out. But wait for it to cool down before you drink it!

Yucky bits of dirt in the water? Strain the water through a handkerchief into a container. The bits of dirt will be left in the handkerchief. 

 Donít wait! : Water doesnít have a used by date so once youíve found a stream, collect as much as you can. That way you have enough water to last you if you canít find the same or a different stream.

Collect rainwater: if itís raining make the most of it. Put out a space blanket or a few containers.
