Thanks for the suggestions,

It was mentioned on another thread that there was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500mg of sodium in MH meals.

I had only ever ate those in my limited backcountry trips. Always seemed my system would get out of whack. I always attributed it to the altitude. Had never considered salt is why I was curious. I think sodium affects the body differently considering the way it is prepared in meals? You mention Jerky and that is one of the cold items I took. Along with Bacon, and Adams peanut butter rolled up in tortilla shells.

Thanks

Ryan
