The weight gain stuff, I’ve been thinking about scarfing a couple buckets of it.

Lot of that stuff is almost pure whey protein. One cup of it a day is probably more than the average persons protein requirements.

Might not be super palatable, but it WILL keep you alive!

Exactly. Go for the “weight gain” tubs they sell to skinny kids. Mostly sugary carbs, but they are high in calories. Don’t spend too much on whey protein. That is mostly used for packing on muscle and not calories. In a survival situation, you want calories. You can carry a 5 pound tub of strawberry weight gain powder and it will sustain out for a good month for 20 bucks-assuming you can get water. if you are holed up, it wouldnt be bad to have an occassional chocalate shake. No reason to go high quality like Met Rx or anything.
