I suppose I could eat high carb foods for the time I'm away. I guess I'll be
burning lots of calories but I'm concerned about the impact of high carb
food after 14 month with very few.

The very few times I've eaten bread or rice (usually cooked by well meaning
friends) I've had bad stomach problems and felt bad for a day or so after. I
want to enjoy my time away so I'll try to low carb. I really want to get
away from civillization and be self sufficient for as long as possible, but
this means carring all my food with me.

BTW what are summer sausages?

An American friend of mine has suggested something called pemmican which is
apparently made from beef. I've found a few recipes but it doesn't look very
appetising!
