If you are unfamiliar with freeze dried I will broach a side effect. Some folk have gastronomical distress. I have noticed that I become more gaseous but have no stomach discomfort. My stool remains good but I eat oats every morning and that may balance things out. Some folk get loose. You may want to see how you do before committing an entire trip to it. I don't want to steer you wrong.

BTW; the shelf life is 25 years on the freeze dried. Just keep it in the air tight canteens or in the tins and you are set for several seasons.
