Hi, I'm new to the Board. I've been trying to research Travel Rations, used by Filipinos before wheat based crackers/hard tack available.
I'm looking particularly at the Starch Substitute portion of the meal. I plan to recreate my own and use it in my RPG for added verisimilitude.

Welcome to the board.
Did they even have travel rations? Wouldn't they have lived off the land back then or had the usual Filipino biscocho or candy/pastries? No idea, just guessing.

I think they only lived off the land when they were guarding or dug into an area.
I heard they would carry rice. But that requires cooking and a lot of water.
Enough Calories for March at about 2000 calorie days if the assumption is 5' filipinos at about BMI21 and 115lbs would need about 8 cups of rice to make up 80% the energy. That could be ~3.5lbs of rice per soldier.
I was thinking filipinos must had a cakes or biscuits out of rice as a local hard tack.

Anyone know how a good Low-tech marching kid look like? What did Filipinos use to contain water? Did we use water skins? How about earthenware? Did filipinos have stoneware?

Apparently wine-glasses or bottles tied up with rope.
