I didn’t mention Lipton by name but I do use them (and other brands.)

A modern grocery store is packed with lots of light-weight, easily cooked and tasty food that was not in them 30-years ago. It makes it easy to stay out for 5-days or more without having to buy expensive freeze dried food, or heavy MREs.

I do have some Mountain House food put away, But it’s too expensive to use as 100% of your hiking diet. That and I find it not filling enough, one meal needs to be supplemented with other food or another Mountain House meal to fill you up.
