When I am working in the bush I need to pack light so we take Mountain House Dehydrated food packets. They come in a plastic pouch which you pour boiling water into and wait a certain amount of time and then eat right out of the bag. You don't have any dishes but the pan you heated water in and your spoon. No mess and virtually no clean up. They are light weight and come in a variety of flavors. They have breakfast and dinner meals, along with desserts.
The meals ar high in protein which while your burning calories in all the hiking is great. Speaking of calories they have very little. Each pouch serves two people but you hardly ever share with anyone. Still the most calories per pouch is about 700. It makes it easy to loss weight on the bush outings. I have lost 40 pounds so far. The problem is that they contain a huge amount of sodium. Each pouch will have over 1200mg of sodium and recommended amounts for a day are 2400mg.
Like I said they have a variety of flavors. The three cheese lasagna is pretty good and the pasta primavera is also tasty but they have mexican flavors and some chinese flavors also. The blueberry cheesecake is delicious but the neopolitan ice cream is horrible. I reccommend not eating that unless you like eating chalk then bon appetite. You can order these meals from amazon and from just about any sporting goods site on web. They run around $7 a meal. If you wanted to stock up for nuclear distruction you can buy a years supply. But there is one last thing you should know about Mountain House foods. After 12 days of them you really crave real food. Especially juicy cheesburgers with everything on them and milkshakes. At least the is my experience after 12 days of eating them in Aniakchak.
