 Freeze-dried food makes the difference if you're going to go backpacking. I love dehydrated food. Even if I'm going car camping, sometimes I'll take the dehydrated food just because of how good they are now and how far they've come. I mean, sometimes I'll buy it for lunch here and just eat it for lunch. And the nice thing about it is it's lightweight. All you do is add water. And, again, you don't need to worry about that temperature problem until after you prepare it. Yeah, just get your stove, boil in some water, and then pour the water in the packages.
