For those ultralight nuts (myself) I thought i'd pass along some food ideas. I've noticed a lot of pre-cooked meats and entrees in the s.market lately designed for the lazy soccer mom's. These can be great for the biker who doesn't want to cook for 2 hrs. some say that they require refrgeration but for the first nighrt dinner they stay safe for at least 12 hrs. unless it's desert heat. Also Star Kist now has a dry packed tuna that is in a rip top foil pack. a little cannister of mayo and some celery and onion, bread or crackers for a pretty good meal. sardines are always an option and easy to pack (flat), Surprising how good these can be along with crackers a vegy, and good beer. I'm an old Ditty More stew fan, It's heavy but really a meal in itself,and easy to open with a P38,(always on my neck chain) w/ID tags in case of accident. Also canned meats are the ticket, Vienna sausages,beef or SPAM, and if in country where bears aren't a problem there is usually enough in one can to save overnight for warming in the AM for breakfast.Don't forget a small strip of foil great for cooking everything from potatoes and onions to warming breadstuffs. Canned juice is alos a great treat or better yet the type packaged in crushable and some times burnable packaging. Always in a small stufff bag: Foil,fire starter,cyclum stick,matches,foil sleeping bag,space blanket,H20,signal mirror, $1.00 cheapo poncho,salt&pepper,head net,bug dope,h20 purification tabs.How about some ideas from the other survival riders.

Pat,
Ever tried MRE's from Uncle Sam? Not the cheapest way to go, but require no
refrigeration, self heating, one package, good balanced meal. They come in
several different menus. You can usually find them in surplus stores or
online. I love them for camping, or just in case, unexpected overnights due
to whatever comes along. I think the last bunch cost me around $5.00 ea.
Just my .02 worth,
Marshall in OK
