  Yes, according to the rules, any pound of food is enough--doesn&apos;t have to be dry.<br><br>💥 ARORA: <a href="https://ghostfiregaming.com/BOWB_AR01_2022_5_002">https://ghostfiregaming.com/BOWB_AR01_2022_5_002</a><br>▶️ D&amp;D IRL playlist: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1lMCvJ_l52XB_2Scg4M4cQwcJTklisNt">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1lMCvJ_l52XB_2Scg4M4cQwcJTklisNt</a>

  I would not be eating regular foods, but dehydrated survival foods. Pemmican, jerky, and the like. Stuff that is calorie rich, light weight, and longer lasting

  I definitely feel like the dried food should be weighed pre-cooking. Serving sizes on rice/pasta are typically in their dried form because water absorption varies. Also when you are carrying the food around, you are carrying it dried.

  Isn&apos;t that meant to be assuming standard rations, which includes calorie dense meat and cheeses?

  I always assumed the 1 pound a day was the bear minimum needed to stave off starvation. Also I agree that the weight should be in dry ingredients and possibly more calorie dense.

  You joke about a pound of butter, but that is one of the most calorie-dense foodstuffs known to man

  I think the food weight for hikers was a good thing to bring up as it probably would be most accurate for adventurers. They are moving around and would be carrying calorie dense foods.

  If I had known that pole was about this challenge I DEFINETELY would have said weigh the rice dry. The rice has all the nutrients, the water just makes it less awful to chew and swallow, but you can totally eat rice dry so weighing it after being cooked seems mean :(

  Love how the Handbook was in the cupboard like a cook book 😆

  I&apos;m sorry Bob, I voted for &quot;cooked weight&quot; =( &nbsp;In my mind I have always equated &quot;1 pound of food&quot; with &quot;1 pound of rations&quot; in this case. So dried meat, dried fruit, nuts, pemmican... stuff you don&apos;t neccecarily need to cook to eat but is very high in energy.

  1lb does seem a little small, but it would go further if it were dried meats, nuts, seed, bread, and cheeses which are way more calorie dense than fruit.<br>Also, if we&apos;re talking weights some of the race weights seem way too light. Like a Halfing is only 40lbs!? Maybe the reason all the weights are so light is because they only eat celery.
