We all live in the UK, not the harshness of Alaska or the hazards of a rain forest, and in this case Area 3 (Surrey, Sussex and Kent!)
The GHB's are designed to get you home and as per the OP to support you for say 24 hrs on that journey.
In that situation if I was anywhere in the UK my main concerns would be suitable footwear; Water proof clothing/spare fleece, bottled water/snacks and money - in fact all the things I would already be carrying around with me anyway, plus always have a knife/torch and a few other bits in my pockets.
If we actually stop for a moment and think about what we are planning for........
How many people would fall into the situation of living in lets say Hertfordshire (just for arguments sake - but can apply to almost anywhere in the UK); and who then may work in or travel to London/Birmingham/Northants/Oxford/Bristol (etc etc)? And then how many of them would really need to set up camp and live like Huckleberry Finn for 24 hours whilst getting from A to B?
If you are in an urban area (which is almost certainly the case) there will be plenty far better shelters around which can be utilised. If you are in a rural area, well again, there will still be plenty of better shelters available ie: barns, sheds, stables, villages, churches, bridges! etc
And anyway if the intention is to be home within 24hrs, you would simply keep moving for as long as you could, maybe just hunkering down for a couple of hours kip in a doorway/church yard/under a tree/under a bridge etc etc is all you need before you get going again - do you really want to be getting the Lapland out and constructing your camp in the woods?
As for food, keep it simple! Protein bars/muesli bars/boiled sweets/bottled water - you don't want to be faffing around trying to get water boiled and meals prepared as we are only talking about getting home within say 12-24hours. How many of us regularly/occasionally go for this length of time without eating a proper meal??
Just my thoughts and as stated at the beginning of the post, this is not a direct criticism of the op, but a general observation on many similar GHB threads that I have read and never commented on.
