[QUOTE="randonee, post: 2121518, member: 116638"] Cheap and light is definitely possible. Look at thru hiking websites and gear lists for folks doing the Appliactian trail or PCT. There are lots of options, but best to look at these and see what looks good to you. Most breakfasts and dinners involve a very light and inexpensive base of things like instant oatmeal, instant noodles (ramen, perhaps without the flavor packet), instant potatoes, instant stuffing, etc. Then add different types of proteins, fats and flavors to theses: nuts, olive oil, butter, foil packet of tuna or chicken, dried veggies (can order in bulk off Amazon for low cost), gravy packet, instant soup packet, etc. You do not need a dehydrator or vacuum sealer for any of this. I use commercial freeze dried dinners often because it is convenient and simple, but it’s not at all necessary. The above just takes a bit more organizational time before the trip. [/QUOTE]
