[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1225852, member: 20646"] As i live in CO, i know hydration at high altitude is imperative. However, I've learned that simple water isn't enough. So, i supplement it with the Gatoraide packets I can add to my Nalgene bottles. I notice a difference in how well I respond to the additional fluid i take in vs just water. As to food - in general i prefer "boil-n-eat"; [B]Dinners[/B] - i like the powdered mashed potato mixes. They are awesome! One pkg = TWO servings. I like to add in 1/2 a pkg of gravy mix with each mashed potato serving. I use the chicken-in-foil pkgs and add one to the mashed potatoes/gravy for a very nice evening meal. I also (in advance) fry some ground beef and make taco meat then freeze in zip-lock bags (which i can boil in a pot). Add some Dorito's and cheddar cheese and I've got a nice dinner. Another tasty meal is a Ramen-noodle pack with 1/2 a pkg of the pre-cooked chicken. Add some cheese and a little Cayenne pepper (a LITTLE) and the spice adds some spicy heat which in turn heats my body up a good bit. [B]Breakfasts[/B] - oatmeal. It's easy to make along with hot cocoa in the morning. [B]Lunches[/B] (eat as i hunt) - beef jerky or some deli meat, cheese, mini-Snickers bars and nuts (almonds mostly). So that's pretty much my food prep. I'm not a backcountry chef (or a chef *anywhere*), but my appetite is always satisfied. [/QUOTE]
