Any suggestions for brands of palatable freeze dried or other light, quick fixed food would also be appreciated. Regards, MossBack

Mossback,

Well, let's start with breakfast.

DentonDoc turned me on to OvaEasy Eggs (see:   (You need to Login or Register ).  He also steered me to Nido milk powder (see:   (You need to Login or Register ), which I add to the eggs and to lots of other stuff. 

These are the ONLY "eggs" my paddling parties willingly consume.  Packets of unused eggs from other brands were building up in my food barrel over the course of several years.  It got to be a bit of a joke.  I suppose even those things have a shelf life which I might be pushing the edges on a bit.  Anyway, since I wanted at least a few of my paddling party members to survive for next year's trip, I dumped all that crap and went with Wayne's (DD's) eggs... which always get eaten.

Live and learn (emphasis on  the "live" part)....

I'm also a fan of Cache Lake camping foods (see:   (You need to Login or Register ).  I guess I like their breads and their creamy fish chowder the best but some of their other stuff is above-average, too.

I've been tempted to try out what these guys offer, too:   (You need to Login or Register .  The problem is, my food intake ration is 2X.  in other words, if the label says "2 servings", I figure there might just be enough to satisfy 1 (being me)... and that's iffy.  When you look at offerings in this light, some products get to be quite pricey. 

I guess that's part of why I keep going back to Cache Lake stuff.  Their serving sizes are closer to being right for me and the pricing is pretty good.

Those are my initial thoughts, anyway.
