Blimey, H-1B & Survival Kit : Total Nightmare!

[CrossLogan]

'Ello Immihelp,

Right, I'm absolutely knackered trying to sort out this H-1B visa for a six-month stint. The thing is, my employer is sending me straight to some remote spot in Wyoming – proper isolated, innit? I need to be completely self-sufficient with food and kit. I'm looking for a decent bit of advice on two things. First off, has anyone found a solid H-1B health insurance that actually covers the risks of heavy-duty outdoor work? Most seem a bit rubbish for anything beyond a broken finger in the office. Secondly, I need to stock up on some long-life dehydrated meals (think 3+ month packs) and lightweight gear. What are the top brands for a decent calorie-to-weight ratio for trekking? Any tips on reliable water filters and a gas cooker that won't pack up when the weather turns proper cold? I need that balance between proper military rations (MREs) and the standard freeze-dried stuff.

Cheers, gotta get this sorted, ta!

I’m exhausted trying to sort out this H-1B visa for a six-month stint. My employer is sending me straight to a very remote area in Wyoming, so I’ll need to be fully self-sufficient with food and equipment.

I’m looking for solid advice on two main things. First, has anyone found a good H-1B health insurance plan that actually covers the risks of intensive outdoor work? Most options I’ve seen seem geared toward minor office injuries rather than anything more serious.

Second, I need to stock up on long-life dehydrated meals (ideally 3+ months’ worth) and lightweight gear. Which brands offer the best calorie-to-weight ratio for trekking? I’d also really appreciate recommendations for reliable water filters and a gas stove that will still work in very cold weather. I’m trying to find the right balance between military-style rations (MREs) and standard freeze-dried meals.
