Lipton dried soups taste great and are very light and cheap. They're not
especially nutritious, but are worth their weight in gold if you're cold tired
and hungry.
Dried fruit, nuts, oatmeal, rice, M&M candy and some cheeses are also good, and
if you have a little ambition, you can bake fresh bread or biscuts from dry mix.

One of my favorites is Spaghetti noodles. None of the powdered spaghetti
sauces are very good and they inevitably require a can of tomato paste,
however you can have a REALLY nice pasta meal with an alfredo or some
other cheese sauce from a package. I tried the herb sauce once, just about
killed me.

Here is something from the BAHAI_HEALTH echo:
Title: Collison's Mixture
This is a passage from a manual written for Baha'i pioneers who go to
underdeveloped countries and live with villagers....
COLLISON'S MIXTURE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have put this under the name of two wonderful Knights of Baha'u'llah for
Africa who were very knowledgeable as regards health and food values. when
visiting villagers it is both impolite and unkind -- and are they not usually
synonomous? -- to refuse to eat the food they offer and yet the pioneer may
find it a difficult and inadequate diet to live on; he cannot possibly carry
enough of his own food to live on and share with them and their food makes him
ill or constipated. To help solve this problem the Collisons devised a mixture
which they took for breakfast that was highly nourishing and had a somewhat
laxative effect: the proportions are 1 cup of wheat germ, 1 teaspoon brewer's
yeast, 1 tablespoon powdered milk, 1 tablespoon or more of brown sugar, and
dried nuts and raisins if they had any. They mixed a supply of this and
carried it in a closed container and in the morning, if possible, before they
found themselves in the presence of other people, they would take a half a cup
of this, mixed with either hot or cold water, and if available a sliced banana
could be added. As this was a dish they could quite truly take as a kind of
medicine, they felt justified in keeping it for themselves and not being
obliged to pass it around. The very high content of B vitamins, minerals, and
calories in this mixture would sustain them throughout the day no matter what
else they did or did not eat. Both wheat germ and brewer's yeast are not
readily available so if one plans to carry such a combination as this, arrange
to either take a supply or ensure that someone sends a supply from abroad.
Gradually a person learns what things are worth spending money on and are not
luxuries because they preserve health and keep down medicine and doctor's
bills. Wherever milling of wheat flour takes place the by-product is wheat
germ; if not available in local shops it is usually sold to poultry farms and
by inquiring where the wheat germ is disposed of one may be able to get a
supply. Brewer's yeast may not be available even in pharmacies, which sometimes
the mixture.

the mixture.

I'm a newcomer just adding on. I recommend Lipton Noodles w/ Cheese
as a pretty good filler and protein source. Packaged hash brown
potatoes and other dried potatoes work well too. The best is
having an "Outback oven" that works on a campstove and cooking
up Jiffy cornbread mix. Happy eating. :-)

I have tried some of these and they are not bad at all. I do not remember the
brand but there were several pasta side dishes that are fairly quick and just
need water or very few "additional" ingredients.
There are a lot of rice dishes like this also some of which are quite usable if
they don't have really long simmer times. With a fire though, even this is not
a big deal.
Happy Trails, Brian

Hi Linda: I make my own high energy,high calorie trail food. Its real easy
to make. When you are out shopping get a couple of scoops of trail mix from
the bulk food store. When you get home take the trail mix and raisins and
put in a handful of corn flakes and Quaker Oats or Granola which ever you
prefer. Mix well and then add melted sweetened bakers chocolat and alllow to
cool cut into squares and wrap in stretch wrap.
An easy meal we have made on a hike is to take two Beef patties
cut two potatos into thin slices,cut a carrot and an onion into small pieces
Take a large piece of tin foil place a slice of bread for each beef patty
put the patties on the bread,then the potatos,carrots,onion add a second slice
to form a top add salt and pepper to taste.Then add two Tblespns of water and
cooking oil. seal tightly and place on the coals of a fire: 15 minutes should
cook the dinner to near prefection.
Btw the bread keeps the meat from from burning and scortching.
