Greetings.
Thanks for the replies, guys.
I'm certainly not knocking the add boiling water brigade ... I've joined it. I have Sarah's book and the print-outs from her web site (and a pot cosy to fit Aussie freezer bags).
I'll be drying some tinned fruit and some refried beans this weekend as part of my dehydrating apprenticeship, then I'll try bigger and better things, moving on to jerky and risotto.
It all seems so simple, and very tasty, to boot.
I think those packet meals I used to take bush were what put me off bushwalking for several years! (Not to mention a Macpac Cascade rucksac packed with things I didn't really need that weighed about 30kg).
Now, approaching retirement/pension age, I've gone for a GoLite Gust, a White Box metho stove and other lightweight stuff. What a difference!
With a bit of luck, next year the Overland Track.
Cheers, Tony
