   Appalachian Trail: Ramen noodles and high mileage…until you get to the next town. Eat it dry if you don’t want to carry fuel/cooker. Then once in town, consume nutrients in preparation for the next section. Repeat. Over and over and over again. Until you reach Maine. Yay!

   Ramen, And there are these knorr, and lipton rice and sometimes noodle sides, You boil them and they cook and marinate at the same time. You could package your own with your own noodles and what not.

   He said “uh” like 57 times…..lol. Seriously though, those Mountain Home meals are rediculously expensive and not really all that good. The Mac and Cheese sucks. Anyone have any other sources for INEXPENSIVE back packing food? I kind of like Ramen soup myself but man cannot live on Ramen alone…………

   Like what?

   I go heavy because I’ll bring things like ravioli and gnocchi and a jar of marinara sauce!

   And sometimes a jar of peanut butter and jelly!

   And even dried fruit and trail mix weighs quite a bit if you bring enough of it!

   The only weigh around it really seems to be to bring practically powdered food which is disgusting - I like to eat well.

    Military MRE’s (Meal Ready to Eat) are bulky and heavy because they do not require adding water or cooking prior to being consumed, its not really fair to compare them to dehydrated food
