A Days Worth of Food on a Sheep Hunt
1 Mountain House blueberries and granola breakfast
1 package Honey Stinger energy chews
1 snack size ziploc of Peanut M&Ms or chocolate covered blueberries
1 energy bar (Clif or Power Bar)
1 Mountain House pro pack dinner
1 Nuun drink tablet (will try Emergen C this year)
1 cup hot chocolate
I may also add some homemade elk or moose jerky this year too.
Typical day for me:
Breakfast - dried fruit, choc coffee beans, fig newton bar - if I ever eat another pack of oatmeal it will be too soon, plus it saves on needing to cook
Lunch, choc bar (better than most protein or energy bars), cliff bar, trailmix, jerky, fruit bar, hard cheese and dry sausage and pita
Dinner, homemade dehydrated meals, best thing I ever did, you actually look forward to dinner, and actually eat it all. I found most of those Mountain House meals so bad I threw half the meal away every night, plus they are grossly overpriced.
Oysters must be popular, I seem to find the cans everywhere.....
Pretty easy actually, Sidekicks come out to about 5 oz when dehydrated, lots of good recipes to be made with Mr Noodles (not the seasoning). A can of Libby's brown beans weighs 1 lb out of the can but comes in at 5 oz when dehydrated, just add some water and dehydrated veggies etc.. I keep my food in a ziplok then add water and eat it out of the bag. Im not a fan of the mountain house, ill eat it but prefer to make my own. Buy a dehydrator (I just picked one up at Canadian tire foe 55 bucks as mine died) and start playing with recipes
Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Quite enjoy MH, pretty sure it's freeze dried not dehydrated? Tough to get similar characteristics just dehydrating I'd think. Anyway I'll leave that to the professionals for now, homemade jerky is all I'd DIY...
To rehydrate I throw my meal (for 2) in a titanium pot, put in just enough water to cover. I usually let it sit for awhile to minimize cooking time. Set up the tent and get all that ready, then cook dinner. 1 Esbit tablet will usually cook a meal for 2 of us.
X10 on the oatmeal staying at the store, can't force it down anymore and burns up more fuel. Switched to Vector for breakfast, add water and done.
for ten days:
11 mountain house meals
20 40g vector bars
600g vector cereal
200 ml Mio sport
300g cashews
40 8g hot rods
200g banana chips
