I'm going camping in Moab and Fruita this spring and I'm curious about this food type product......Is any good? I was in REI this weekend and there are about 4-5 different brands and 100 different meal options.

Anyone ever try any? Any favorites?

It is not bad. The beef stroganof is the best one.
Though you cant go wrong w/ the icecream or a bottle of water and the fruit.

If you actually like food, that freeze-dried food is horribly nasty stuff. Unless it's gotten dramatically better in the last 10 years........

I don't think it's awful, but I also always carry some fresh fruit with me.

I have got lots of experience with this stuff...

Ok, most of it makes you and every one else fart insainly, so get some beano.
Be sure to let it hydrate properly.

The thai chiken is Ok, the other asian meels are good.
Steer clear from BBQ beef.
The best is the beef stroganof, yumy, its dinner # 6 i believe? w/e

so yeah, be prepared, you eat any thing if ur hungry enough.

For backpacking, this is oh-so-true. But save your money and eat ramen noodles and instant garlic-mashers. They'll be just as gourmet, just as quick and easy, and 1/100th the cost.

I like to spruce up my ramen with a little freeze-dried burger and some dried veg soup mix.
