It is all about trade offs. Being dehydrated, you are carrying less weight, the assumption being that you have a good water source once you are on the trail.

You can get many good lightweight foods at your local grocery store, such as the dehydrated potatoes you feature. But if weight is really critical, nothing beats freeze dried.


n desert conditions, I often carry canned foods (especially fruits). They are mostly water, something you will need to pack anyway
