on 12/8/2006 Your CRAZY if you think freeze dried food is a delicious hot meal. Pluse now we deal with the plastic bags they come in. When I am outback it is O.K. but I do pack out my mess but many times I find these bags left in old fire pits. What is the right answer? I have no answer.

on 8/8/2006 You can buy pre-packaged freeze dried food at most outdoor gear shops. The nice thing about these is that you can eat them right out of the bag. All you have to do is boil the water in a pot and pour it into the bag. You get a delicious hot meal without getting you pots and pans dirty. Another plus is that they are very lightweight.

For grease - keep the stove on and melt the grease (if it is solid) and dump the grease from the pan into a grease trap. Clean the dishes with Brillo pad.
