[QUOTE="oxcartdriver, post: 844499, member: 51961"] I like the backpack meals but find them a bit to expensive and not as flexible as making our own. Lately prefer cold meals to save on weight and odors with cooking. Flat bread PBJ or PBJ a wrap works well. Nuts also pack the calories. Flat bread sandwich with meat isn't bad either. Just prefer the flat or wrap breads since the sandwich can be jammed into a pack with aggression and come out looking similar to how the sandwich looked when packed. I try to use the zipper lock freezer (thicker) bags to carry the sandwich. Another good cold meal is cerial with or without powdered milk. Doesn't taste too bad, but definitely tastes better when you're hungry. Many cerials can be quite dense (EX raisin bran), but pack in the sugars which may or may not be desirable. For hot meals I do like the cous cous as well, olive oil for a bit more flavor and calories. Angel hair pasta is ok, the fine angel hair pasta cooks a bit faster (some whole wheat are slower to cook). Also I find some of the cajun and other box meals are ok, but the scents can be strong, with these box meals (as mentioned previously) the salt content can be a bit high. Craft used to have a series of bagged type meals which are ok and much cheaper than the back packer meals. Though most of these options may require more fuel than the back packer meals. I don't do much with hot meals anymore while hunting, but usually carry something with a light stove just in case when Elk hunting. [/QUOTE]
