[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1730145, member: 111417"] I order some different powders from a company called true nutrition. If you go this route you can eliminate all of your cooking supplies from your gear. Two scoops each of protein powder, carbohydrate powder, and fat powder mixed with water gives you 752 calories that require almost zero preparation. It comes in any flavor that you like and it can be sweetened to your liking. You can drink three of these drinks per day and get 2,256 calories in a decent tasting drink. You haven't wasted any time on preparation and you can even "eat" on the go if you need to. I would also bring a fiber supplement and a good multi-vitamin with me as well. Until you get used to it, you will be hungry as you are not eating any actual solid food. However, you are going to have a hard time finding a replacement that supplies this kind of nutrition at the weight and space of the powdered mixes. When you throw in the fact that you no longer need pots, pans, tongs, spatulas etc you come out way ahead. You also get the benefit of not having any wildlife, or in some scenarios two legged wildlife, alerted to your camp position by following their nose like Toucan Sam to your odoriferous breakfast bacon frying away in the pan. I would recommend trying this at home for a few weekends to get the feel for it before you need to use it in the backwoods. This will give you a chance to see how it feels to eat this way without being in a situation where you have no other choice, but to eat this way. Its always nice to know exactly how full you will feel? if it will make you sleepy? if it tastes okay? how much energy you get from it? how your mood is? and all of the other factors that can be determined by food. I don't see any down fall to this arrangement unless you lose your food supply in an accident or robbery, or you have to stay out in the wilderness longer than planned and you run out of food and now have no pots or pans to cook traditional food in. Everything you do has its risks. [/QUOTE]
