When I'm backpacking for weeks at a time I don't buy prepackaged dehydrated or freeze dried food, you make your food on a multi-fuel stove (a lot cheaper than MRE or camp food). Water is available in the field and purified with iodine tablets if necessary on the trips I've been on (or a water filter if required or preferred). A dry meal weighs about 1/3 as much as an MRE at the same total calorie load - depending on the person you'd need 2-6K calories - more than a single MRE too.
I've made calzones from scratch (including the sauce from tomato powder) on multi-fuel stove before with wild peppermint I found as substitute for dried/fresh basil (it's closely related to basil). The only thing I carried with moisture in it was the cheese (it was cheddar as it last a long time without refrigeration - over a week but you might have to cut mold off it).
Oh dude...only if you never want to sh!t again.
And you forget, sydasti is our resident expert on fucking everything, plus his boyfriend is a Vegan, so that makes him extra cool.
Do you ask the bear about its diet before whacking it? What kind of beer do you drink when eating beef fed bear, where the beef was raised eating bear?
He was my boss and wasn't a vegan when I was working for him.
Umm.... Well first off, I carry a water filter and tabs as I go through a lot of water. I also am all about foraging while out for weeks at a time...... But I must point something out to you. The mre's that John and I are posting g up here and using...... Are not the shit you buy at a store or online. They range from 3500 to 6k in calorie intake. They are designed and packaged as an all day food source. These are not the crap Alpine star garbage you get off eBay. When I said I get more Everytime my buddy goes in the field, I meant I get left overs from military use.
I get what you are saying about the weight of the more vs a dried meal..... But you are forgetting to take into account the water needed for the dried meals. Water is not always readily available when you are out, so keeping water for hydrating is pretty important.
Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying you are wrong across the board, just that you are not totally right, and are partially misinformed on total nutritional values. Best I have done was 20 days out with 12 mre's. More than enough for the whole trip.
Oh brother you said it....... I made that mistake when I first shifted to mre's when out hiking/camping/backpacking. I neglected to read the actual nutritional values and thought they were one meal....... Took two pots of coffee and half a can of Copenhagen to poop again
Fake news! I know because it's white wine in that bottle. No self respecting Euro would have white wine with prosciutto (or serrano, or Bayonne)MRE have improved and are cheap, but are not the best tasting/variety/nutritious. Also if you are a vegetarian (I'm not but I have a friend in the Navy who is), much to be desired. Also they're not good if you're going to be in the field for a significant period of time carrying your own food. You don't want to carry the water for your food or the heat pouch - that can quickly add up. A dry/dehydrated meal weighs about 1/3 of MRE. Plus there's more trash if you're carrying extras like used spice packets, towel packets, utensils, heat pouches, etc. If it's for an emergency in your car and you don't want to worry about utensils, water, stove, etc it's more ideal.
I don't have a prosciutto song anyways...
You can, but bears speak bear, so there's usually communication issues.
Geography determines their diets, as does season, so you can go off of that.
As for a beer to go with bear fed beef fed bear, Labatt blue, of course.

Triscuits and black coffee...best thing short of calling Roto Rooter...
(Frau made me stop dipping...not that I didnt sneak a chew now and then. When she wasnt around...like on the same continent...)
Yes but you get the military MREs from your friend, it's a moot point for the average person who isn't in the military. Those companies do make versions for the civilians and they're not 2-6K calories.
And technology wise, MREs are retort packaged foods, a technology that is widely adopted in other countries and increasingly so in the US, so these days you can often buy the retorted food you like the most from your favorite brand for camping if you don't mind the extra weight/cost.

Haven't tried the triscuits for that purpose yet, will have to add that as a possibility, being this info is coming from the random pics thread I will have to add a results pic...... I stopped the dip in 2012 myself..... Since the gall bladder has been gone I seem to not have the plugged issue anymore no matter what I eat
Do you know anyone in the military at all? If so ask them for some mre's..... Bet you get a case or two. See little known fact, when military here in good ole Merica has a field training, they are assigned a number of mre's.... Mre's that cannot be sent back. Like my friend, when the training ng is over many take extras for themselves/friends. As long g as they agree they will not sell them. They are way easier to get than most think. I will have another four cases probably here in about two months..... Since I started using them what.... Ten or twelve years ago I have only run out once, that was when I moved to Montana and had to find a new source.Yes but you get the military MREs from your friend, it's a moot point for the average person who isn't in the military.

It is specially east to acquire mre's when your friend is a reserve.... They always seem to have more.
I still have several cases in the shed for the upcoming apocalypse...they are all over 3 years old at this point.
Oh and for the record..... Those commercially sold "mre's"....... Those are novelties for preppers that believe the world is going to end one day when the lizard people take over and let zombies run wild.....
I usually heat them with my Sterno stove, and save the heat pack to out in my sleeping bag at night and stay super toasty. They are also fun when you just barely seal them at the top, let them fill up nice and full and toss them in the campfire to scare your buddy!!!

DM, I don't like most shelf stable food at home. Why would I want food that's less fresh/nutritious, loaded with preservatives, and harder to digest? If you're at altitude and/or burn a ton of calories food that normally tastes bad (like spam for example) with too much salt or sugar is going to taste better because of your taste buds are working differently than normal.

This is a picture of my old neighbour. He was a pilot for the Canadian Airforce in the 50s and 60s in Germany. Here, he is opening a tin of those from his training days in the early 50s. I think these were strapped under the ejectable seat in his plane. I can't quite remember all the contents, but there were some sort of crackers, gummy candy, instant coffee and sugar. All more than 50 years old. some of it still edible. crazy.
If you ever get a chance to get some French MREs, DO IT. They take particular pride in feeding their troops well in the field and elsewhere.
Contemplated going up there today. Really glad I passed. Especially with morons like this around..."it's all about getting out with your bros, crushing some Natty Ice, & shredding the gnar as early as possible so we can get back to the frat for gameday tomorrow! What's not to love?"lol....rather be working.
