Don’t knock the molten ramen and oysters I’m telling you. 1.48 ramen bucket, 1.89 oysters vs $14 mountain house. 
 

i actually did set a unit record this last weekend. I heard I was the first person to backpack in a 12 pack of tecate light 3 miles into the cabeza 

I did that with coors light in 2020

Did all 12 make it to camp or were you a few short when you got there .... 

short. By backpacked in a 12 pack, i meant it was a 12 pack at one time.

I make my own pre packaged dehydrated meals and couscous. 

Brown ground beef and dehydrate it into little rocks. You need to rinse the meat well before you dehydrate it to wash off the fat which doesn’t dry well.  Put in ziplock bag with minute rice, mexicali rose refried beans and taco seasoning. Makes a good beef/beans/rice meal and weighs nothing. Just add boiling water. 

Also couscous and a tuna packet is a good meal. 

 

127g Couscous

Dehydrated Veggies

Package of chicken or tuna

2 TSP Greek Seasonings

1 Cup Boiling Water

 

50g of Mexicali Rose Refried Beans

50g of Instant Rice

Dehydrated Ground Beef

1 Rounded TSP Seasoning

2/3 Cup Boiling Water

I’ve tried it a few times and am impressed by how well it retains the flavor and nutrients. It’s super convenient, especially if you’re into hiking or camping. You add water, and it’s like you’re having a fresh meal. I’ve found that natural foods company has some great options if you want to try it. Their stuff is often high quality and tastes close to the real deal. It’s a game-changer for quick meals or long trips. Have you tried any specific brands or flavors?

I have a freeze drier. I'll do a deer steak and add it to a commercial packet to give some real protein. I'll take freeze dried fruit,  scrambled eggs, meatballs etc.

Do you add anything to your eggs to not make them rubbery? I thought about adding corn startch and seeing if that works.

Just seasoning. They don't seem to be rubberized
