Tell him Mark (formerly of) Schwalbe sent you...
Who are you working for now?
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
Buy a dehydrator and make your own stuff. When you're ready to eat put it in a tuppaware box, add hot water and it's ready to go a few minutes later. Hot meals when you need one. Dehydrate fruit for snacks.

For all of you performance athletes - I want something that is compact, water proof, lightish, high value nutrition/ energy and with long shelf life. And the ability to be undone with cold hands.

Then look at the list of ingredients .... You can work out the rest
I did that with some 'good gut' cereal toppers/sprinkles. Looked at the ingredients by % (also took a given weight and divided it up into constituent parts and weighed - completely ott as I'm sure I wouldn't notice if the ingredients varied a fair bit ).
Then went out and bought the ingredients (chia seeds, linseed, hemp seed, dried berries, dried bananas etc etc). Result? Fraction of the cost and it tastes better. Nice on porage.
So, realistically, they're going to get through tons of these nutritious own-brand meusli bars.
So, tie-in with a company, sell 'RNLI approved ', get stock for the boats cheap, no faff cooking them. And sell them alongside postcards and tea towels.

Hold on ... Missing a trick here!
The RNLI has 160+ all weather lifeboats.

I'm not employed by them - I volunteer. I want to sort out a local need. The paid people can do that
