Freeze dried camping food

Freeze dried food is a good choice for campers because it is light weight, compact and easy to prepare.

How they make it: Well what the producers do is, they take normal food, then they freeze it. Then they heat it very rapidly, so the the frozen water goes straight from a solid to a gas. After that they suck the water vapor out. All you do, is to add boiling water and it's ready to eat.

When I go camping I use allot more energy than I do when I am sitting at my desk. So I go for the foods that are high in carbs. This will keep you going, while the high protein foods will let you down.

Freeze dried food lasts for 3-5 years, depending on what's in the food, so you can buy it now and use it the next time you camping.

I recommend you stick to the 2 name brands in freeze dried food: Mountain House and AlpineAire. Their products are all pretty tasty, while some of the smaller brands can be more of an adventure.
