  • It depends on the situation. Off the grid for a week with no water except what I bring along, I might choose canned food because it already has the water in it (watch out for the sodium). Closer to town, fresh is nice if available. I haven't used freeze-dried meals due to cost.
  • I have always found the sodium content of freeze dried foods rather high, and I do better with a limited amount.
  • My diet is yogurt, fresh veggies, fruit, cheese and meat. I buy as I go. My only freeze dried is this fabulous garlic in a jar. I try to eat very simply and nearly the same thing every day so I keep my weight down. This last trip I did cook up buffalo hamburger, ate elk steak and a Yak burger at a restaurant.

    I got introduced to the freeze dried foods on my tent camping trips in the 70s and 80s... Carried over to my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer trips.

    Some of that is pretty good stuff.. We too pick out what we like...

    A real treat... They seem to be available most everywhere too...

  • I do carry MRE's and a few Mountain House foods - the MRE's can be purchased as individual entrĂ©es, desserts, and other categories from this place:

    The Epicenter MRE's

    This way, you don't have to buy the whole MRE package, but just what appeals to you.

    Been dealing with them for years and their stuff is Top Notch!!
