I'd take some "backup" food. You don't want to go hungry if your luck or hunting skills are lacking.

Theoretically, I'd say boiling the meat and drinking the broth would be the most nutritious... might taste like crap, though.

I've tried "roughing it" before, but you've gotta take baby steps. I have a tendency to overdo my experiments out there, and I've suffered the consequences. Best of luck to ya!
