I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this was truly a helpful video for beginners from Expert Village. Thank you, Richard Fields.
I disagree when it comes to bringing as much packaging as he has here, though. What’s the point of communing with Nature only to bring the “modern” life with you? Just my personal spiritual opinion, of course.
Also, breakfast should always be your meal with the most calories.

I haven’t tried the MRE’s, I’ve been told to stay clear away from them for backpacking trips because they do bad things to the digestive tract, they are too high in fat and they are too heavy.
Digitaldown, if they actually fed two for 5 to 7 bucks it wouldn’t be a bad deal but the ones I’ve had don’t.

i don’t know if they’re ridiculously expensive. $5-7 dollars per meal that feeds two. so that’s $2.50 to $3.50 dollars person?. not that bad. not super cheap, sure. but as bakcpacking gear goes it’s ok. We’ve had some that were terrible, some ok, and some pretty good. none were super dooper tastey, but what do you expect from freezed dried instant? for sure we’ve found a few that we like and try to stick to those. we liked mountain house lasagna w/ meat. what’s expensive is trying em all.

I live in the U.K and eat lightwieght stuff for breakfast and lunch and U.S MRE’s as my evening meal,(with some of the packaging removed.)
When spending 3 – 4 days trekking and wild camping it’s not enough just to survive, I want to enjoy my dinner!

Why do every one of these ‘expert’ village videos push the freeze dried crap foods? Are they all business owners trying to boost sales? Those meals are expensive and taste like ass. They’re light, but I’d rather eat bugs.

Appalachian Trail: …
Appalachian Trail: Ramen noodles and high mileage…until you get to the next town. Eat it dry if you don’t want to carry fuel/cooker. Then once in town, consume nutrients in preparation for the next section. Repeat. Over and over and over again. Until you reach Maine. Yay!

Ramen, And there …
Ramen, And there are these knorr, and lipton rice and sometimes noodle sides, You boil them and they cook and marinate at the same time. You could package your own with your own noodles and what not.

He said “uh” like 57 times…..lol. Seriously though, those Mountain Home meals are rediculously expensive and not really all that good. The Mac and Cheese sucks. Anyone have any other sources for INEXPENSIVE back packing food? I kind of like Ramen soup myself but man cannot live on Ramen alone…………

Like what?
I go heavy because I’ll bring things like ravioli and gnocchi and a jar of marinara sauce!
And sometimes a jar of peanut butter and jelly!
And even dried fruit and trail mix weighs quite a bit if you bring enough of it!
The only weigh around it really seems to be to bring practically powdered food which is disgusting – I like to eat well.

I just can’t eat those just-add-boiling-water foods, hence my pack weighs a TON!

Military MRE’s (Meal Ready to Eat) are bulky and heavy because they do not require adding water or cooking prior to being consumed, its not really fair to compare them to dehydrated food
