what are good foods that can be carried on a canoe trip that will take up to a week
Answer
I've seen a number of good recipes and food ideas at www.backpacker.com.. They have a section labeled "Skills". Click on that and you will find another tab labeled "Food and Nutrition". In this section, they have recipes, discussion boards, articles, and even videos on how to make this stuff while you're out on the trail. Everything is done from a backpacking point of view and considers that you don't have the luxury of a huge pantry or refrigerated food storage. You'll find stuff you never thought about such as new recipes for Ramen noodles, and my personal favorite, Peanut Butter Oat Bars. I plan on making a chocolate covered version as a Christmas treat.
You can also get prepared camping food that's shelf stable, compact, easy to prepare, and nutritious at most sporting goods stores (Academy, Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, and online.), but I've not yet found one that I would eat regularly. (Let it be known that I am pretty picky.) They're edible and taste somewhat like what they say they are suppose to, but that's about it. Though it will keep you alive. I've also seen some folks that swear by military surplus MRE style foods. The same applies to these, though they can cause some tummy trouble if you're not accustomed to them or if you're prone to that type of thing.
If you still want to try the pre-packaged items, please do. I'm sure your own tastes are different than mine. I would advise picking up a couple of them and trying them before you go out, just to eliminate the "surprise" factor and the same goes for any recipes or ideas from www.backpacker.com
But, those oat bars are AWESOME!
Have fun!

Military "load-outs"?

Whether you are coming out of the academy or you enlist they give you a uniform right? So after you have that, do you basically have your choice of backpack (as long as it's the right color), gun, optic, etc? Obviously they don't want you to use an ak74u or something, but can you go with an m4 over an m16, or an m249 over an m16? Could you even have your own custom AR15 given burst capability and be allowed to use it?
Answer
I assume you are talking US....
First off...you have what is called Personal Clothing...and Personal Equipment...
Personal Clothing is all the items on the service's clothing bag / sea bag...and is most familiar in the duffel bag of sh*t you are issued at basic training / boot camp. The person retains ownership of these items.
Personal Equipment..are those items issued by the CIF on a particular post and is normally called OCIE. It includes any specialized clothing and field and safety equipment a person needs to conduct their military job and mission. The person turns in these items when they transfer bases or leaves the service.
Enlisted personnel are issued both personal clothing and equipment.
Officers buy all their own personal clothing..but are issued their personal equipment.
And you will have NOTHING, by and large, "custom" (except boots and gloves that fit military standards). MOST DEFINITELY NOT weapons. You will use what you are ISSUED according to your duty position.
The REAL military isn't COD or MW
