Freeze Dried Food: Everything You Should Think about

Eating freezedried food is not often our primary selection for meals. When was the last time you said let us open a bag of food, then put in some water on it and invite several friends over for lunch? We are able to thank NASA for experimentation with dehydrating food to get their astronauts no matter how the military was using MREs or Meals Ready to Eat to his or her soldiers for years.

Now there are essentially two good reasons why we'd have dried dried food available on hand. The most widespread usage for it's available within the straight back packing community. Anybody who's organizing a jungle trip will probably consist of an easy task to transfer, moderate weight and wholesome meals. The ideal method to do so is through homemade or fabricated freeze dried foods. The 2nd basis to get freeze dried food hand is by the survivalists need. But within the area of men and women who're concerned with disaster preparation there are gaps.

A number people possess our dwelling survival kits. These kits may be bought on the web for quite a fair cost and so are onhand to help a person or family each time a tragedy strikes. In your survival kits have been packed water, food and other essentials to get us during a quick time period without protection or food. Then there would be the authentic survivalists who're somewhat more concerned having an intense tragedy where we'll undoubtedly be with our healthful meals for a lengthy time period. Every one of those groups' demands differs. The Back Packer in addition to the man or woman with a home survival kit comes with a little investment in the total cost of the freeze dried food. In the event the pre requisite food expires it isn't just a substantial loss once it ought to be thrown outside. Alternatively that the survivalist who's preparing for a disaster the size in which they won't have the ability to get or produce food for an elongated time period is going to have a considerable investment at the raw dried food. For that survivalist shelf-life is going to function as the most crucial quality of choosing which business product to make use of.

Nowadays you'll find a whole lot of quality services and products available on the market. Even though you will find many on the market, the bigger businesses normally have a bigger variety to pick from. Just like any food, it boils down to your own choice due to the fact that much elements play to what you might think great taste. At the jungle following a lengthy and tiring afternoon more or less any pre packaged food will taste fine. Each corporation has its own very own review and writeup online however seeing shelf-life this may be the next advice.

· Mountain House offers food components which have the normal seven calendar year shelf life if kept correctly Their canned goods have a normal shelf life of ten decades.

· Backpackers Pantry includes a special niche since it frees it self to preparing organic freeze dátiles naturales  built to fuel that the rocky outdoor sports person. The shelf life span of their merchandise is out of 1.5 to 3 Decades

· AlpineAire food can save for about 5 -10 years based up on the food along with storage.

· Wise Food is very happy to express that their freeze dehydrated food storage strategy may provide a shelf life of 25 decades. Again, if saved correctly

Each one the aforementioned businesses revolve around the degree of these product. Gone would be the times where freeze-dried food has been likely to taste awful. A whole lot of those foods are extremely excellent. Nevertheless, the main point is how far you're ready to cover and to that purpose. The ideal action to take will be to decide to try it until you buy massive quantities. It does come down to personal preference and also the long-term food storage demands you expect for their goods.

Pictured Rocks Thru Hike 2020 Part 4

A Few Muses from the Hike - 

This is a hike that many folks do in 3 days/ 2 nights.   And that is immanently doable - but I think you might miss the point of this hike if you speed through it.  In other words, there is something to say about stopping to ‘smell the roses (or views)’ on this hike.   But, hey, ‘Hike your own hike’.

The bugs were not an issue for us.  Sure, they were there but we did suffer as everyone warns.  Why?  I don’t know - maybe we were lucky.  The fact that there was always a breeze seemed to help.  But, we did always wear long pants and long sleeves.   

The weather was spectacular and if you time things well, you can get a private beach all to yourself in the wilderness to enjoy.  Even the one day of rain was not horrible - as we had so many other great days on the trail.  

Doing the hike with friends and family was a new thing for me - and I think I might have found a perfect hiking partner with my best friend.  And, a long stretch in a tiny tent is a real relationship tester (grin).   

Any cold lunch option from Packit Gourmet is a winner.  They were a complete winner on the trail for all parties.   

For dinner, the Good to Go options were not tasty - over spicy and salty.  They were a miss.  Mary Jane’s Farms made some great dinners and would do eat their food anytime.  And, lastly, from AlpineAire - Forever Young Mac & Cheese was a home run.  

This my third coast hike - Olympic National Park, the West Coast Trail, and now Pictured Rocks and they all have this unique flavor to them that sets them apart.  One nice thing about Lake Superior vs. the Pacific Ocean is the water is always cold and easy to filter (grin).

You will not get cell service on the trail.  That is a good thing.  

The trail is very well marked and maintained.   A real credit to the NPS and AmeriCorps folks that keep things ready for all of us.   

Even though I did not prepare physically at all, I did finish the hike - but then again that seems to be a theme for me that ‘blowing up’ my body is part of the fun-factor for my vacations.   

Hiked the last two miles of the trail with a couple of ‘locals’ out for their daily hike and small town America is alive and well.  Gracious, generous, and unfailingly polite - even agreed not to share any news from the week as we had enjoyed the respite for our oppressive media.   

One thing I would suggest if I were to do it again would be to get up early and do some early night hiking so you can stop on the beach and watch the sun come up.  I ran into a group that did it once and enjoyed it so much they got up and did it twice it was so special.  

This hike is beautiful - and seems to be a bit of a secret in the broader hiking community.   It is not to be missed - 

Lastly, do not miss the chance to have a very cold beverage at the By George Brew Pub in Munising.  The Root Beer is brilliant.   And the perfect place to celebrate the finish of your hike.

Best Long-Life Foods to Buy: Prepping for a Pandemic

During the coronavirus outbreak, governments worldwide recommend that you stock up on food and other essentials. You'll need at least a two-week supply of food and water, so there's no need for frequent and unnecessary grocery trips, putting you and the household at risk of the virus.   But of course, you wouldn’t want to purchase food products that go bad in days. It’s best to go for non-perishables that still provide enough nutrition for you and the family.   What should you add to your grocery list, though? Read on as I show you the best long-life foods to prep for a pandemic.   

The Best Long-Life Canned Foods 

Canned goods are one of the most crucial non-perishables to stock up on. These have a long shelf life that can last for years, and you aren't just limited to sardines or meatloaf! There are canned beans and vegetables to choose from as well, which can offer vitamins if fresh produce isn't an option.   These are the canned foods I recommend you stock up on, offering taste and nutrition:    Canned Beans Canned beans and chickpeas provide a lot of nutrients and are a great source of protein if you are vegetarian. Plus, you can use it in many types of meals like stews, sandwiches, and chilis. In fact, you can heat beans and chickpeas and eat them as is for a low-fat snack.  Canned Meats  Corned beef, luncheon meats, pork or chicken chunks, and Vienna sausages are just some of the many canned meats you can buy. They come in various flavors, either eaten straight from the can or heated to taste better or accompany dishes. While they aren’t the healthiest, they contain a good source of fat and protein, a quick fix if you aren’t able to cook.  Canned Vegetables Canned vegetables such as corn and tomatoes will have lower quantities of vitamins compared to fresh produce. However, they are the second-best alternative if ever you’re unable to come across fresh or frozen vegetables. You can still use these as you would fresh produce, either adding it to salads or savory dishes without the worry of spoilage.  Canned Fruits  Canned fruits can either be soaked in sweet syrup or dehydrated, still containing the vitamins and minerals you need. However, be wary with the liquid that surrounds the fruit, as the strips tend to be heavy on sugar and filled with empty calories.   Canned peaches, pineapples, or even canned berries and fruit medleys make a great snack!  Canned Fish  Tuna, sardines, or salmon are some of the more popular canned goods for its many benefits. They contain protein and an abundance of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. You can either use these for salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, or as a viand to heat up for a warm meal.  Canned Sauces  No time or ingredients to make sauces from scratch? You can find cans of different types of sauces, whether you need pasta sauce, pie fillings, tomato paste, pizza sauce, or even jellied fruits! No need to stock up on a lot of fresh ingredients for sauces in the meantime, which takes up a lot of space and would spoil easily.  Canned Meals  There are also ready-to-eat canned goods that act as the main course. Canned soups, spaghetti, or even canned rice can be consumed upon opening.   All you need to do is heat it (if you can or want to) and start munching! I don't recommend that you consume and depend on such quick meals every day, though.  Also Read:15 Long Shelf-Life Canned Foods for Prepping Storage  

The Best Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE)

It offers a huge amount of nutrition and calories at the smallest possible volume, supplying the body with essential vitamins without the hassle of cooking an entire meal. Each gluten-free and non-GML MRE pack contains 15 essential vitamins and minerals, with high-quality protein.    OzarkOutdoorzXMRE

What Fruits and Vegetables to Dehydrate 

Fruits and vegetables are perishables that can last for only up to a week at a time. However, you can dehydrate whole produce, which can have them last longer and still taste great. Plus, you can rehydrate them again later on when needed! 

 When you have a dehydrator, here are the top foods you can try out:    Fruits  When one thinks of dehydrating food, the first thing that pops in mind is fruit. Dehydrated fruits such as raisins are such a popular snack that you can add in salads, granola, trail mix, desserts, among other dishes.   Here are the common fruits you can dehydrate:  Grapes Apples Pineapples Pears Plums Figs Berries Bananas Peaches Cherries Melons  When you dehydrate these fruits, be sure to soak them in a solution that limits bacteria and prevents the fruit from darkening. You can create a citric acid solution by mixing one-part lemon juice and one-part water.    Vegetables  You can dehydrate a variety of vegetables, such as:  Carrots Tomatoes Greens Beets Squash Beans Onions Celery Peas Pumpkin Broccoli Corn  And you can reap great results form it! Before you dehydrate these vegetables, do blanch them briefly (except for mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions). Furthermore, store them in a tightly-closed container in areas that are dry, cool, and dark.    You can consume these dried vegetables as chips for a healthier snack alternative. Or, you can use it for main dishes such as stews and soups.    Meats  You can even dehydrate meat to make into jerky, a popular and filling snack with good protein content. To avoid any risk of food-borne illnesses, you should use lean meat that's been precooked.  Make beef jerky by boiling the beef and coating it with your sauce mix. Bake at a lower temperature for four hours and you can store it for later consumption.   You can also dehydrate pressure-cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, deli meats, ground beef, or canned goods like tuna or chicken.     Sweets  Other times, you can dehydrate snacks for it to last longer and taste better, depending on your preference. Avoid risking food spoilage for certain snacks, try dehydtrating trail mix.  You can dehydrate yogurt, bagels, marshmallows, or even baked desserts such as packaged cake. Reydrate these sweets as needed.  If you have time, bake a pie or create instant pudding or porridge, which you can dehydrate for later consumption. There are a lot of dessert recipes one can dehydrate online.  Also Read:How to prepare your emergency food supply

Jasper and the Next Leg

Upon our arrival to Jasper we followed the directions of the young lady who dropped us off at the edge of town (right off the highway): follow the trail and that’ll take you into town.

We stretched our legs after the long drive from Lake Louise to Jasper and made the hike into town from the Trans-Canadian Highway. The first thing we did was walk under a train bridge (while a train was on it). It was loud.

We made our way into Jasper which, little did we know at the time, would become a comfortable week-long stay. I say comfortable in the sense that we had a nice tent to sleep in every night, but it was a bit... under the radar, so we had to pack up and take our things with us every day.

We spent days lazing around in the green spaces near the visitor’s center watching (and hearing) the trains go by --

Afternoons/evenings in the local brewing company and/or anyplace we found that served good beer at reasonable prices and had electric outlets --

We languished in the internet and Martin was able to catch a footy match (live!) on a really fucking big TV --

We ate some nachos, burgers, and generally had a good time.

We met a fellow bum who was travelling with two dogs: one big, one small. The big one was old, soft, and gentle. The little one was young, content, and just wanted a warm lap to sleep on. We exchanged words with him a few times, and on the third day we ended up drinking cider and whiskey in the green space near the visitors’ centre. The little dog fell asleep on my lap very promptly. I fell asleep not long afterward, and much talk of trainhopping, listening to Days n Daze, and more drinking commenced while I was taking a nap. A good night was had by all.

The next morning we woke up under our cozy blanket on the porch of the visitors’ centre, nudged by an employee telling us we had to move. I roused Martin and we transferred ourselves to another spot where we slept for another couple of hours (it was a bit wet so we got out the tarp). It was about there we realized the difference between “chilling in the park” and “being tragically homeless” is whether you have legitimate looking sleeping gear out or not. Blanket and backpacks: A-OK. Tarp and fluffy sleeping quilt: Doesn’t matter how much that ultralight shit cost you, you look homeless as hell fam.

We charged up all our shit in Jasper then headed up the Saturday Night Lake Loop to a backcountry campground on Minnow Lake.

Poorly named, it ended up; the lake had very limited fishing opportunity, almost none from the shore. We were at the reeds’ behest, which caused us to give up in frustration after no more than ten casts.

The weather was subpar the entire time (overcast, cold), I came down with a not-great cough (it hurt), and the trail/campground wasn’t very scenic (especially with the smoke pollution from the fires in BC; the air smelled like smoke if you sniffed, and the mountains weren’t even visible above the lake’s immediate treeline for days).

We met a Dutch guy who was very enthusiastic about going barefoot and plastic liquor bottles (he apparently had pretended to be Scottish while he was in Quebec) and a couple who had never backpacked to a campsite before who worked at an Apple store in Edmonton. They advised us that AlpineAire (a brand of dehydrated camping food) is likely to taste like cleaning chemicals. I’m honestly not surprised, and it makes me feel even better about our continually honed camping menu (instant mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, Knorr sides, fresh parmesan or other cheeses, semi-dried meat sticks, etc etc...) on both price point and flavor point.

We hiked back to Jasper after staying at Minnow awhile and, while it was all downhill, didn’t really spare our legs. Ends up prolonged downhill can also take a toll on calves. Who knew.

Once we got back to Jasper we stayed a night, to restock (re-drink), re-food, recharge (electronically and otherwise), then our last night in our precious homeless-camping spot to hit the road.

We hiked to the highway, West, or Ouest (French) as it told us, and attempted to position ourselves in a strategic spot for hitchhiking. I was afraid it was going to take awhile, since there wasn’t too much traffic going west in the first place and people were mostly either dayhiking or in campers.

Maybe just shy of a half an hour elapsed and a couple in a crossover stopped to pick us up; Martin asked if they were French “No”, then French-Canadian “No...” honestly, after so long listening to people in Canada speak French, most foreign languages that roll off the tongue sound French. It ended up the couple was Polish, and we were able to stick our packs in their “trunk”, and they were super, super, SUPER fucking nice.

And they were going to Vancouver!

We ended up hitchhiking with them the entire way from Jasper to Vancouver, AND they dropped us off at our Airbnb. Regardless of that, though, they were really great people. I’ll omit their names here, but the guy was a developer (living in Canada a couple of years) and the girl was ex-IT (she definitely knew some sort of programming and had quit her job in Poland to come to Canada). When we told them our story of not really being able to be in the same country and quitting our jobs to be together, they definitely had a bit of a chuckle. I just hope we entertained them enough. I really liked them and I hope I can repay them in the future somehow because the drive was...8...9? hours and that’s really incredible, honestly. And after all that, they dropped us off at our airbnb.  The airbnb was an in-flight decision and reservation; the couple offered they could put us up if we didn’t find anywhere to sleep but they’d done so much already I couldn’t imagine asking that of them.  We found a room we could hang out and shower and cook dinner (woo more Kraft(tm) Dinner(tm) as is Canadian ritual) for a reasonable price, so we went for it.

I guess that concludes this segment of our trip; we exchanged emails and numbers with the couple who gave us a lift, and I really hope to repay them (somehow!) in the future, if not before we leave the country in two weeks. From here it’ll be exploring the city and finding our way to Vancouver Island -- from there to hippie mecca Tofino, which I think should be easily enough found and unfound, based on the miles of dreadlocks we’ve encountered telling us how great Tofino is.

Unfortunately, but skillfully, our Canadian leg of 2017 is drawing to a close.

Ok, an hour later, I'm barely fed but hey the kids ate!! The Mountain House Chicken Dumplings came out the winner, the Alpine Aire a second, My Amish soup mixes were a BUST!

Buyer’s Guide

Freeze dried foods have come a long way since the earliest rudimentary techniques were practiced by the Incas in the 15thcentury (1). Even our access today has rapidly improved compared to what astronauts were eating on some of their first space missions. Fortunately for us, a lot of people like to backpack, hunt, and hike, and a lot of those people want to eat well while doing those activities.

Freeze dried food options are many, and they can actually be quite delicious. In this Buyer’s Guide, we are going to focus on several important characteristics of freeze dried foods to help you make the best decision of what kinds of meals are best for you.

Counting Calories

The USDA recommends that most women consume between 1600 and 2400 calories per day, while they say men should be consuming somewhere between 2000 and 3000 calories. This, of course, ranges quite a bit depending on age and activity level (2). Many avid backpackers would support the claim that they need more than 2000 calories a day to replenish what they’re using on the trail.

So, while counting calories isn’t all that fun, doing it well in advance of your trip can help you make sure you’re getting the sustenance you need throughout your trip. For example, if your preferred freeze dried food choice for breakfast gives you about 400 calories to start your day, you know you’ll still have at least 1600 calories to go throughout the rest of the day.

If you adhere to the “three meals a day” model while in the back country, 400 calories per meal just aren’t going to cut it. You’ll want to search for meals that offer somewhere in the 500 to 900 calorie range for your “main” meals and then supplement with snacks in between.

It’s also important to consider where these calories are coming from. In a side-by-side comparison, the Backpackers Pantry Pad Thai contains a total of 920 calories while the Good To Go Thai Curry offers a total of 760 calories. Both contain two servings per container. The most noticeable difference comes in the protein category, with the former containing double the protein (20 grams) than the latter.

While it’s also important to do your own research on sodium, fat, and cholesterol content in your preferred freeze dried foods, as well as various other vitamins and minerals, protein and carbohydrates are going to be two of the most critical nutritional items you’ll need to replenish when your activity levels are high on the trail.

Serving Size

Serving size is another one to be wary of when purchasing freeze dried foods. Not all brands package their meal options in the same fashion. Some prefer to package single servings of their recipes and some design their meals to be shared with a hiking or hunting partner. Buying a meal that’s fit for one and expecting to share it will certainly leave both parties feeling dissatisfied.

Make sure the freeze dried foods you purchase contain the number of servings you’re looking for. In some cases, especially if your activity level is extremely high, meals that claim to be packaged for two can suit one person quite well.

Net Weight

When it comes to moving around in the back country, pack weight is a consideration whether you’re backpacking or hunting. Freeze dried foods are much lighter than their perishable alternatives, but there’s still a minuscule difference between foods produced by different brands, as well as between certain meal options and others.

In a side-by-side comparison of the Wild Zora Mountain Beef Stew and the TrailFork Coconut Chana Masala, for example, the former boasts a total net weight of 85 grams while the latter’s total net weight is 143 grams. Both are single serving meals offering 420 and 590 calories, respectively. It’ll be up to you to decide whether the extra weight is worth the extra nutritional value when deciding between two freeze dried foods.

Quality of Ingredients

The ingredients used in freeze dried foods today can vary greatly. You’ll find everything from a simple set of five or six total ingredients to a lengthy list of terms you don’t even recognize. A balance must be struck between getting the nutritional value you need and compromising on the quality of ingredients in your meals.

Now, it’s not necessary to research where every company is sourcing all of its ingredients from, but the quality of ingredients in certain freeze dried foods can make a difference in how your body reacts to their nutritional value. In general, a “less is more” approach can be useful when doing side-by-side comparisons of ingredient lists on different freeze dried foods.

Cost

Freeze dried foods, fortunately, aren’t crazy expensive, but if you’re embarking on a long trip, buying in bulk is a great way to reduce overall food costs. Some freeze dried food companies sell their recipes in bulk so that you can package up individual servings on your own for later use. This can be a big money saver when you’re also factoring in costs of gear, permits, transportation, and more.

When comparing different freeze dried foods, it’s important to look at more than the overall cost, however. The technique is the same when performing comparisons at the grocery store. You’re hoping to find the most of the product you want for the cheapest price. This means considering price per ounce rather than just total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Freeze dried foods are a great, lightweight food option for all forms of outdoor adventure. In this Frequently Asked Questions section, we seek to answer some of the most common areas of concern regarding freeze dried meals.

How does freeze drying work?

In this process, foods are first frozen and then placed in a strong vacuum were all moisture is vaporized and removed from the product. This process helps to preserve foods for a longer period of time without altering the taste or nutritional content.

What is the biggest mistake when preparing freeze dried foods?

One mistake that happens a lot is forgetting to remove the oxygen absorbing packet that most meals have to keep them fresh. These packets typically contain an iron powder that absorbs oxygen and moisture (3). Although safe to keep freeze dried foods fresh, they are not safe for human consumption. The other common mistake is adding too much (or too little) boiling water to reheat and re hydrate the food.

How long do freeze dried foods last?

It largely depends on the brand, but some freeze dried foods have a shelf life that exceeds 25 years.

What’s the difference between ‘freeze dried’ and ‘dehydrated’?

The major differences between freeze dried foods and dehydrated foods are that freeze dried foods contain far less moisture while still retaining more nutrients than their dehydrated counterparts.

Summary

Proper nutrition is always important when you’re spending any extended amount of time away from your home kitchen. But on top of that, we know that you deserve to eat delicious, healthy food on each and every one of your adventures. That’s why we hope you’ve enjoyed this collection of the best freeze dried foods and we wish you the best of luck selecting the ones you’ll enjoy on your next trip!
