But you can't afford to make a mistake like that, if you bring not enough food and you run out and you're out in the middle of nowhere you, you don't have any options. And so you have to plan for that, you have to plan and count on the fact that you're going to be eating more than you think you will.

And so you have to be able to count on that and then you have to go ahead and buy an extra days worth of food.
