    Looks like another use for a trekking pole -> fishing rod.

    Harpoon?

    What sorts of food could I take that
    are calorie dense, lightweight and nutritious but at the same time easy to
    prepare?

    Mayonnaise, butter and olive oil are the most efficient :-)

    It's difficult, if not downright unpleasant to carry enough food to
    meet your needs. Liquid is heavy so use dehydrated food to keep the
    weight down. Run a search on Wayfarer as food choice is a FAQ.

    Calories per gram from -

    carbohydrate - 4
    protein - 4
    fat - 9

    having said that too much fat makes me tired so I prefer carbs during
    the day and fat in the evening.

    Have a look at the following -

    Rice
    Pasta
    Muesli
    Snack bars eg Alpen
    Chocolate
    Oatcakes
    Butter
    Cheese
    Nuts
    Dehydrated packet food eg Batchelors, Vesta
    Backpacking meals eg Wayfarer

    Also can anyone give me any advice about wild camping in general. I've never
    done it before.

    No problem in the Cairngorms. Run a search on Google Groups.

    Daytona
