you only really need two things... home-made jerky, and "spitz" sunflower seeds, dill pickle, all dressed and salt and vinegar are ok, but stick with the plain salted... and something to quench your thirst... but thats a whole other thread.... ok thats really three things.

I can't believe that no one has yet to mention that wonderful meat substitute SPAM! Fry it up, add some beans and a little ketchup. Now that is the sh--.

Dude spam weighs like 5 lbs a can.

The best Backpacking food that i've EVER had was a 14oz T-Bone Steak.

There's nothing like backpacking in the middle of winter. No need to worry about anything spoiling because of heat.

I gotta go with those flavored tuna pouches, those are quality and depending on the flavor, hickory smoked for me, you can eat them straight with just a spoon. oh yea, then maybe a beer at the end of the day, if you burned enough fat/carbs to allow it.

I've enjoyed Cajun food since I was old enough to eat it, and my local grocery stores carry single bags of Red Beans and Rice. Boil 3 cups water, add the bag, cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or so, and you're set.

A little (well, a LOT) of hot sauce makes it a feast for a king. I'd imagine you could add dried onions, dried sausage (i.e. jerky,) or pepper.

In reply to:
p.s. does honey freeze?

Yes, honey does freeze.

Not certainly the best, but adequate Backpacking food is:

- Dried minced meat (fry 'em, boil em to remove excess fat, dry 'em in your oven at 50 degree C with the door jammed partially open for 8 to 20h)

- Chipped soya (the dark kind, looks pretty much like minced meat)

- Pasta (those cheap packets with the sauce within for 2 persons is good for one in the outback)

- Noodles

- Tattar (eastern origin (somewhere in former Russia me thinks) cereal) used like rice

- Rice

- Mashed potatos (those just-add-water -packs)

- Just-add-water -sauce packages are also good to add some taste

Anyhow thats how I have survived in the Artic cold (northern Sweden and Finland) for a bit over week. Ofcourse breakfasts are not included in the list, only the supper-materials.

Jerky is a must but, a beans and rice kit will fill your stomach for a few days. I usually buy Zataran's brand. You can find it for around a buck fifty. You can also throw some shredded jerky in for some more flavor. mmmmmmmmm
