I have heard that is a somewhat common malady with the freeze dried (that being some have stomach issues). I am fortunate in that other than a bit of gas I operate very well on it. Perhaps it is all the oats (fiber?) that I eat. Maybe that balances things out, not sure.

I usually don't bring freeze dried on canoe trips either but 3 weeks is a little different ball game from my perspective. My dinners for 3 weeks add up to a little over 4lbs. Now that my friend........is sweet!

The Titanium is prone to scorch if ones not careful. Fortunately I run the isopro and have extremely good simmer control. Still, you best be stirring. The GSI mini spatula   (You need to Login or Register makes an excellent tool to prevent scorching. If I hadn't already had the Titanium I would seriously look into the Duralite based on your recommendation, I'm a big MSR fan anyway.
