The food pack is always packed at home and we're about 900 miles from put-in.  Usually our only stop in Canadian territory before our entry point is to pick up leeches when we use those.  I guess we could stop for some Canadian tators but we're usually in too big of a hurry to get on the water :).

Fried potatoes and fish just seem a necessary part of the trip for us - at least one or two meals.

Thanks for the tips SnowDog, we'll avoid those high priced ones.  I think the only time I've had dehydrated ones the person fixing them must have used the "reconstitute while cooking" method because they tasted a lot like paper or cardboard :-/.
