another thought, though its all just mine and Carolyns, but really how bad is freeze dry food? I mean you are on your feet, not showering, packing around and you are going to complain that light, easy to fix food doens't make the gourmet list?
Heck I ate at a new place last night that has a "chef". Rice was bland. Black beans fine. FIsh tacos were damn sure nothing other than good.
New rope syndrome I call it. Had it at a big fire once, guy was "starving" I gave him one of my GU gels out of my bunker gear... he spit it out... LOL. I dont' give out my stash anymore either...
