i make up ration pack meals for every canoe trip.



thats two weeks worth of dinners for one man,me, and i like a good solid dinner after a day out on the lakes.a meal with fruit,a couple cookies a bannock if i'm really hungry and tea or a fruit drink like Tang.some candy and a flask of rum and jars of margarine fill out the dinner sack.
on the left are three MRE meat packs with a rice pack.a couple freeze dry dinners for evenings when i want something fast and on the right two bags each with four dinners of freeze dry meat,chicken or roast beef,with rice sides.bags are taped up in the hope that the bears won't get a whiff.



in action it looks like this.
the dry fruit with some rum and lake water to rehydrate'
the rice pack with added freeze dry peas warming on top of a pot of boiling water that has a MRE meat dinner in it.
the drinking water is stained with tannin from the bogs around this lake.other lakes have gin clear water.
