cheapest option is cooking, first you need to use about 5 pounds of wood, you can split it for 2 pounds, so if you need 20 pounds or more you'd better make it double what you need to do the fire and can store the second half in a waterproof container
and the water.
>Always boil it and don't let it go over boiling temperature, then drain and dry it then make it into food/snacks>Don't eat too many, if you find a bunch of berries in early summer great way to get water on the way, as you're passing, make sure you keep an eye out for watering holes
Some advice for the girls
Being female you'll get hit on a lot, it's a lot easier to live off the land as a boy. A bag can be useful for a lot of things, this is a good time to get a backpack which is surprisingly light, with some duct tape and cheap plastic mitts. a homemade mat with some very strong plants is good for getting out of the mud and splinters, and you don't need to worry
