Good afternoon! I hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm plotting a backcountry camping trip with friends, so food is my top priority, with water as the second. What are your needs?
That's funny because I am doing the same with the same priorities.  Funny world we live in 🙂.  I think we can come to a fair compromise though.
Definetly. Would you be more flexible on food or water? I'm more flexible on having less water. I can usually find some that can be treated on the hike.
As we have the same priorities, I have the same flexibility 🙂.  I am willing to forgo all the water if I can get at least one firewood.  I can figure out how to pack a camelbak full before I arrive.
I'm looking to get 2 food, 1 water, and 1 firewood out of the deal. What would your offer be?
I think that's fair.  I can take 1 food, 2 waters, and 2 firewood.
I'm usually more flexible on firewood than I am anything else, as I have a small camp stove. I feel this way is the best, do you have any other ideas?
I need to figure how to pack more food in my backpack now, but I think that's a deal that works for both of us.
Ok, so let me get this right: I get 2 food, 1 water, 1 firewood. You get 1 food, 2 waters, 2 firewood? Does that look right?
That is perfect for me.
