Dehydrated Food Availability

[lts1ow]

So, have a backpacking trip planned for April and at the time before I left for vacation I figured I had plenty of time to order food.

But, the wuhanflu has hit hard and nothing is in stock, anywhere.

Looking for suggestions on where places may have some in stock.

i think you are going to have a hard time getting a normal price on anything in stock. I few places i have seen show in stock but have weeks of delayed shipping notices.

Begrudgingly ordered a 12 pack of MRE's from a place that claimed in stock, we shall see.

i had ordered some more early last month and midway shows as it being past due. so i have no clue when it will come.

By the time you use MREs you might as well take other regular food. You don't save any weight since the water is already in it. If you do some research there is plenty of stuff you can bring that is relatively light and won't spoil.

My favorite starch is CousCous. Boil water, stir it in, cook 1 min, cover and let sit. Its done. Its cheap too.

I also like to bring a lot of dry cured meats and sausages and hard cheeses. The real dry cured ones you can see hanging like pepperoni and summer sausage, not the refrigerated lunch meats. And if you have time look up how to make Jerkey or Biltong (South African jerkey and even easier to make). Make sure you use nitrates to cure it and cut it thicker than normal. When at camp cut it up, boil it a little to rehydrate and add it to your dish.

For breakfast check out the pancake mixes. Some don't need an egg.

Well, weight isn't a big deal, have to create about 15# to mimic the rifle so for this trip I think MRE's will work.

If you’re somewhere near me, you can have my entire stock. Just have to replace what you take by the end of the year.

Alternatively, I can ship it to you if you send the money for shipping and original price for whatever you take.

If you have interest, let me know and I will go take inventory.

This is a smaller place that's relatively unknown, and therefore they have some things in stock. Theirs is dehydrated so doesn't have the 25 year shelf life of the freeze dried stuff. I really like their meals, particularly the mushroom risotto and classic marinara, both of which are in stock.

Properly packed, properly dehydrated food, including fruit and veggies have a 25 year self life. I have some sitting around. However many people do not need 25 year shelf life on their camping food :-).
