[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1268116, member: 96793"] In a recent article in Backcountry Hunters and Anglers quarterly mag, a suggested calorie dense food was bacon strips and peanut butter. I have tried this and it's tasty. On a couple 2016 backpack hunts, my cousin and hunting buddy has been experimenting with his dehydrator. He made a lentil and turkey stew that was to die for. From what I understand he fried a bunch of ground turkey and mixed it in with package of lentil stew mix he purchased from a hippie store in San Fran. He then dehydrated the pre-cooked stew and vacuum packed it. We added boiled water in the field and it was as good if not better than any store bought back packer food. I don't know what shelf life on this is, but imagine you could freeze until your trip. It should last several days in your pack unrefridgerated. One of my problems with store bought bars and meals like "mountain house" is the packaging. It takes a lot of space to carry and then you have a lot of trash to deal with afterwords. [/QUOTE]
