[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 831224, member: 54178"] MREs are a [U]bad[/U] choice for backpacking. MUCH too heavy. That's exactly why no experienced backpackers use them. Take [U]Mary Jane Farms[/U] freeze-dried meals for the lowest sodium content. [U]Mountain House[/U] and [U]Backpacker's Pantry[/U] are excellent meals at a higher sodium dose. Love the omlettes! OR... buy a small dehydrator and dehydrate a lot of your food, like a cup of spaghetti sauce into sauce leather. Teat or cut into small pieces for easier rehydration at camp. AND buy a "Freezer Bag Cooking" book and learn to make up at home the best tasting backpacking meals[I] ever[/I]. If you are in bear country you MUST put all food and toothpaste in a [I]bear can[/I]. Cook your evening meals on the trail before you camp or 100 yards away from camp. Same for breakfast, Break camp then cook and leave right away or make breakfast down the trail if you know others will camp there. Place bear can at least 50 yards from camp. And "LNT" (Leave No Trace). [/QUOTE]
