>>515457>no, hydrated foods mean carrying water at the start of the trip that you won't need until later. with dehydrated foods, we can greatly reduce the amount of water we need to carry at any given time.you also get less nutrients from the dehydrated food because it never fully absorbs the water back again. your body also has more trouble digesting it.
as long as its not over 15C at night(or lowest temp) i bring a small soft cooler with frozen entrees from the grocery store.
no wait time, better quality meat(higher grade) and you absorb more of the nutrients.
not to mention at half the cost of dehydrated stuff its a steal(5$ per bag vs 10-12)
also no alzheimers from cooking with aluminum. even when i cook dehydrated food i let it soak like oats and cook it after an hour or so of soaking. the directions are fucking retarded and have no bearing on proper nutrition. they merely save time not nutrients.
only dehydrated shit i buy is breakfasts, mountain house egg burritos and hot sauce are god tier and i cant get that in frozen food, nor would i want to, eggs are notoriously hard to thermoregulate.
i bicycle tour and generally pick up 3 or so at the next town and they stay good for the 3 whole days in a cooler. i do this 3 seasons, in summer i generally dont camp much because i hate being too hot(canadian) and dehydrated shit is too expensive.
