These seem popular with American lightweight backpackers ...........
Looked good until it all went in together and set like concrete but yeah, the Raman noodle's are on my radar, they do them in Tesco, might try some next time out
Wish I could find spam singles in the U.K. though ?
I've never tried them ramen noddle's, we get the cheap Asda curry noddle's, i think they're 4 packets for a quid.
These Yeoman mash pots are nice, https://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/yeoman-mash-pot-onion-40g
I think they are nicer, than the other instant stuff, Mash and Smash.
I tend to use a lot of dried stuff, including vegetarian meat substitutes as they are cheap and weigh nothing. Also nuts and glucose syrup or tablets. What I really believe I should try but, never get round to it is making my own pemmiccan.Hmm tbh I'd rather carry in a kg of meat and veg than the pre-processed stuff.
Planning a day camp (possibly night) tomorrow and will be attempting to make something other than sausages and coffee for a change.
I took an 'Uncle Ben's' when I went out with my son once but rice, seasoning, onion and pepper with some meat, I feel, is much better.
I have no issue with dehydrated food but the pre-processed stuff generally has way too many additives for my comfort.
HOWEVER, in saying all that, I haven't considered yet how I'm going to manage for 5 or 6 days up north in Feb since I eat a lot and I expect that I'll need to eat more in the cold to sustain myself.

In Scandinavia there are some good options for trail food from dehydrated Cod to reindeer heart.
Anyone here tried making pemmican?
Paul Kirtleys video on packing 2 weeks food into a plce side pouch is worth watch; not least for the comments where people put their own taste suggestions.
