Wish I could fastforward about 6 months. Huntin season is too far off!

Try the Epicenter in Eugene OR. They have tons of camping type food. Shipping is pretty cheap too. Don't expect to eat MREs on a long backpack trip though. Too heavy. And, you wont take a dump for a week!

Your experience may vary. Mine is to keep alot of TP on hand when eating MRE's....Keep the belt loose, the pack ready to ditch, and the trousers ready to drop cause bad things are about to happen...

My longest trip is 4 day and 3 night, so nothing too spectacular. I just use iodine tablets and drink water.

i have only been doing the backpack/backcountry thing for going on 3 yrs now, so my advice comes with short exp. i think how much u should plan on eating will depend on your size. Im 5'10 175, and this is what i take in my pack per day/night. 1 poptarts, 2 clif bars, 2 nature valley bars, top ramen (i just put 1/2 flavor packet in, crunch up and eat dry, its a good snack), maybe 1 candy bar, and a 2 serving mountain house. If you are worried about space, they make mountain house pro packs which are 1.5 servings and vaccum sealed. I also throw in a baggy of trail mix, and a couple extra clif bars/ nature valley depending on the length of my trip.

pretty much exactly the same here. in addition to the above, some idahoan taters , non-refrigerated bacon and cheese makes a good dinner.
I have taste buds, I can't eat MRE's for a week :chuckle:
oh yeah, and some jerky.

Arctic MREs are great and hard to find, they have 5,000 calories each. while stationed in Alaska I ate 3 in one day. It was -80 outside and my squad was stuck in our 10 man tent. Paid the price the next day there's nothing like a class one download in that kind of cold weather.
