Theme I am picking up on Season 11 is that food storage is seriously problematic. S11 E8 shows the guy catching a couple nice pike and leaving them in the river on stringers to keep them alive and fresh. I saw that and said BRILLIANT IDEA....and then the fish got stolen. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
I think that proves my point that in this situation you should NOT go easy on eating when you have the food. Eat it, eat as much as you can hold. Store those calories in your own danged body, not where they can be stolen from you in a cache.

Ya I seen that, they had a lot of trouble keeping food, seemed everything wanted a piece of the pie, especially when it got cold. :)

Frankly I am very disappointed that all of them sleep without something warm to cuddle up against. Pick out some good stones and heat them slowly by the fire until you can barely handle them with bare hands. A big ol' flat rock under your lower legs and feet, and another the size of your chest inside the bag and up against the small of your back or clutched to your chest.
Timber was (rightfully) concerned about his one foot being completely numb and the other mostly numb. A rock slowly heated next to the fire will soak up a lot of thermal energy and slowly release it back to the environment. And unlike your partner, it's not gonna react all dramatic like and shout "GAAAAAH! GET THOSE ICY FEET OFF ME!"
On a cold and lonely night a nice toasty rock will rock you to sleep!

And a warm rock doesn't get mad if you bring another hot rock into the bed roll with you ;)

And a warm rock won't care if you replace it with a hotter, geologically younger rock.
