This might be the most egregious thread hijack we've had in a long time.

Shoot, my bad.

I know the trend is against freeze dried but I can eat it just fine. I like the mountain house Lasagna and the pasta prima vera. Lightweight, no fuss, completely indestructible packaging and the only mess kit you need is a 16 oz cup to heat water. If I were doing anything over 10 days it would be part of my strategy.

Another big advantage is Mr. Bear won't eat it. When a stray snickers bar gave my stashed food bag away (fortunately we were on our way out ....Sawbill lake) he ate everything but the freeze dried. A single investigative tooth puncture was all it took for him to decide it wasn't up to par. I ended up tossing it but if I were in the backcountry's behind I would be mighty glad to have it.

Really?  Freeze dried is better than it has ever been and getting better.

My biggest issue with FD is the weight.  Much of it is heavier than my own dehydrated food.

Food and feet dont, and mine are flat like a pancake Shocked


I have high arches, and I like tevas too because they are easy to rinse mud out of when they're still on your feet, before you step into the canoe. But some of the web comments I ran across recently suggest that the newer teva models aren't as solidly made as the versions from a few years ago.
