Byrd_Huntr... I've not done anything scientific.. I retired from teaching about a 1 1/2 years ago where my car sat in the sun all day... and at the time threw out the food in my bag out without eating it... the car now spends most of the time in the garage... the tinned tuna I just rotated out was consumed without a problem, along with the ramen... I was trying a DIY retort pouches with water heated by the Swiss volcano stove on Sterno...I rotate the water quite regularly as I go thru about 3 bottles a match along with a couple of Gatorades, and shoot about 3 matches a month
for the retort pouch 24inch square aluminum foil, folded over, triple folded at the seams, two paper towels folded around around and placed in a 1 gal zip loc bag...about 4 minutes..used some with the mashed potatoes... a little bulky, but easier to manage than trying to add 1/2 tuna to 1/2 potato (and vice versa) and making two pouches in the original packets
Thank you, I may try that on weekender. I'm leaning toward dry packed or freeze dried food for summer now, as I am (without any real justification) a little leery of eating whole food that has been heated and cooled for over a week or so in my trunk. Fine for weekend trips though.
Incidently My wife is a full time gradeschool teacher, and has a level of patience that I cannot attain, but admire greatly.
