So, my brother gave me a case of MREs the other day to start off a weekend trip. I am fairly new to backpacking and was wondering what is going to happen when I don't have the luxury of carrying MREs?
Also, it seems like I could shed some weight if I knew how to dry the foods. Does one have to use a "dehydrator"? What do you guys use when going on 3-4 day trips?


most of us buy dehydrated backpacking food, or make our own, or a combination of both - see

search back through the archives a bit, you'll find much discussion on this topic
