>>445393>>445405>MRE's are better in almost every way besides weight.that anon is not accounting for the water he has to either carry or filter(in which case the filter should be partially counted because it provides the hydration for the total weight of the meal.
also dehydrated food will literally dehydrate your body since the components are anhydrous and will soak up more and more water which requires you to consume/carry/procure more water and work more.
personally i just skip summer camping because im canadian and hate being overheated.
ive tried mres and freeze dried and hate them both.
i bring 5 dollar frozen stir fryups which only slightly unthaw because i generally camp from temps of 10C to -10C.
in winter camping i can drag a sled and gear weight means little.
