[QUOTE="284stak, post: 197538, member: 8891"] I have backpacked and packed in on horses multiple times over the years from 5000 to 11000 feet. MRE's are way to heavy for extended trips --- if planning on using them, I would suggest tossing all the boxes and other non-essentials to save on space and wt. My wife is in the military and brings me home about 2 dozen a year that she doesn't use --- so I use them, but would not purchase them ever -- just to many other better options out there. I use a pocket rocket stove for all my backcountry trips. Very lightwt even with two fuel cannisters and have not seen any problems at the above listed elevations with lighting or cooking temps. On 5 day trips with two people - I have never used both cannisters. Freeze-dried, like others have mentioned is the way to go - just toss in the pocket rocket/fuel cannister. With a small cooking kit --- total volume is about the size/wt of a coffee perculator for camping. [/QUOTE]
