Re: Re: Evernew titanium pots

Preparing meals at home and dehydrating them is an excellent way to eat
well, and inexpensively, on the trail.  It takes a bit of a different
approach in that you need to cut things smaller and use less fats and
liquid, but there's nothing like eating your favorite foods on the trail.
 I've even dehydrated food from some of my favorite restaurants.  This fits
in very well with freezer bag cooking, if that's the way you want to go.
