Does /out/ hates mountain house? If so why? Thinking about buying it for a few days +250km hike instead of knorr pastas like I usually do.

Also food general

The only really big problem I have with them is the amount of sodium they have. Its a ton. I would suggest you find some you like the best and take a few, and pack other food for the rest of the time. I like the Chili Macaroni, Beef Stew, and Rice & chicken (which doesnt have a ton of chicken in it lol). I feel that most of them taste better with a little bit of hot sauce or pepper in them.

TL;DR Stick to one a day, with something else for other meals.

This

My favs are Beef Stroganoff, Chili Mac, and Breakfast Skillet.

The Breakfast Skillet meal makes awesome breakfast burritos - just fork some into a tortilla, add a little cheese and a pack of Taco Bell sauce - a single serve package makes about four FAT burritos - easy to prepare and they taste great

I hate them because they have shilled here before
Otherwise, they and Backpacker's Pantry etc. are fine
It's just really hard to rehydrate that shit at a significant altitude

It's just dehydrated noodles and flavor mix. Literally any "instant" food you prepare by adding boiling water to is a cheaper alternative, just because it doesn't target the backpacking crowd.

This includes instant mashed potatoes, instant mac n cheese, ramen, instant cup of soup (I enjoy black bean soup with lime and pepper) and a wide variety of other stuff.

You can get a lot of these at the dollar store, too. Paying $8 for Mountain House is a ripoff.

Does /out/ have any snack suggestions and ways of planning out snacks. I randomly got very tired and lethargic 25k into my hike 2 weeks ago because I was a retard and didn't bring enough snacks. Heavy rain, mud and wind probably didn't help. I'm going on a trip that's double the distance soon and I'm a bit worried about that happening again.

Store bought:
Probars (stay away from the ones with chocolate)
Qia bars
hemp seed or pumpkin seeds (get those little travel size packs.)
beef jerky
dark chocolate (for not hot weather)
ginger chews

Home made:
Peanut butter and honey sandwiches
beef jerky
dried fruit (if you don't have your own dehydrator, get one)

There are lot more, those are just some that I can think of right meow.

I like to bring these little foil pouches of Indian food that I get from Trader Joe's and squeeze them it into my mouth while I'm moving. Spices taste amazing when you've been outdoors for a few days.

I'm not a fan of any Indian food but you're quite right. Everything tastes amazing after a few days.

>>782156
The day after I had that problem on our way out someone brought this up. I'm not a fan of cans because they take up space in my pack after being used. I have thought about bringing it in plastic bags though.

Plastic bags would work as long as you use up the food relatively soon. They have single serves in plastic as well. Otherwise stomp your empty cans flat.

I really enjoy them, but i wouldnt buy them for the MSRP. I normally buy a few when the price is cheaper b/c they are out of date or damagede (or some other reason). They are really tasty, taste like real food and are easy as fuck to use. No cleaning after eating a pack. Would recommend them if you can get them for half the price or something or if you have a lot of money and dont give fuck.

> Really tasty, easy and no cleaning but to expensive

Another generel great thing to add to those meals are a pack of noodles. More food and noodles are light weight, they just require some spare.

Poptarts have a complete daily value of nutrients. Objectively more space conservation = more poptarts.

I don't see how or why you think you would be hungry.

This. I always pick some up when they're on sale. Everytime rei has a big sale they're 25% off or something. Salt is ok unless you've been eating salty snacks and plan to eat the full 2.5 servings.

Chili mac, lasagna are my favorites.

Those knorr and Idahoan meals work, but almost all the stuff you find in the grocery store has hydrogenated oils and preservatives and junk, so for those who don't want that in their diet, freeze dried meals are a better option. They also got a tougher packaging and easier prep. I use both.

And yea, full price is for suckers. Buy it on sale, it has a 12 year guarantee.

It's the same argument dumbass. It could be true for many outdoor pursuits. What that person is saying is that the salt content is fine for it's intended purpose, and that dummies complain about it because of ignorance.

spam singles, shelf-safe cheese wedges/spread, dehydrated meats (jerky), astronaut ice cream.

for am occasional special treat bring a couple cans of wet (heavy) food - tuna in oil, sardines, etc. same goes with some of those applesauce cups. also salt and pepper for dat tuna.
