>>2018447>Are mountain house stuff goodit tastes like shit but it's food... If you are bringing the water to rehydrate it you might as well bring real food, but if you will be filtering the water for it it's a lightweight option
I've never done a trip of that magnitude just because it seems kind of retarded to me, if I had something to prove to myself maybe I would see it differently but if I want to go out in nature 3-4 days living out of a backpack is plenty for me
So I like to bring real food, I will generally make a big pot of beef stew and bring a big bag or container of it, the shit does not get old out on the trail and is quick to heat up with my MSR pocketrocket (which I can't recommend highly enough). If I can't prepare food ahead of time I like canned Amy's soup and sealed ham steaks, i can cook the ham and warm 2 cans of soup in the same 1L msr pot. ham steaks are based for backpacking
