Dehydrated meal advice please

The Radix line are pretty heavily olive oil based. Will definitely provide a bit of internal liveliness if your system isn’t used to it.

Real Meals mostly taste great, but are much lower in energy than BC etc. I tend to go with a Real Meals + a boil-in-bag rice for an evening meal, that actually fills me up properly.

Uses a bit more gas, but so be it.

Boil say 750ml, tip what’s needed into the freeze-dry, then add your rice boil bag to the pot and bring back to the boil, then shut off cooker and let it sit for 10 mins. Drain and add to freeze-dry, enjoy.

Have you ever tried Biltong? Its not for everyone but very high nutritional value for weight ratio and easy to make.If you are not making it you can buy it at your local South African shop. - I do not like the one's you can get at Pakkies.
When I go out its basically Biltong, ouma rusks( dipped in coffee) and sun rimo la pasta. Also peanut and raisins mix and breakfast bars.

Nope, me too. Used to rate the Radix stuff a few years ago because it could really power me along, the breakfasts were so-so but tolerable and the meals were mostly pretty good. Back country I always need to eat two of so not very economical haha.

Nowadays, thanks to their relentless twiddling and fiddling and their commitment to being more enviro friendly Radix have gone plant based and it ain't working for me. Had the green curry one, tastes like soap. Breakfast? Can't even get it down it's like rehydrated sawdust.

I rate the real meals for just getting the job done, and a hot tip is if you can carry the little extra weight a frozen bottle of cream into the pack before you head off the right conditions will last about 3 days. Into the instant oats, the coffee, the sri lankan curry and the choccy pudding it really fills the whole and keeps you charging.

Steer clear of the Real Meals Mexi Nachos if you have to share a hut/tent with somebody. The Tom Ka Gai seems to actually feed me up pretty good and not give too much of the dehy gutsy gas.
