Sounds like Mountain House believes taste will be effected, but they did not say anything about heat making the food inedible. I will be very interested to see the results of Compugeek's test with the high-low thermometer and the insulated cooler. It might be possible to control the temperature sufficiently to give you more than one summer of "trunk life". It would be nice if someone in Texas or Florida has the equipment to do a similar test.
