Reddit reviews Peak Dry Whole Milk Powder, 900-Grams

Get a dehydrator. Get your potatoes, rice, beans, vegetables, whatever, and cook them, then dehydrate them. Then you can reconstitute them by boiling in water. Include pasta. You can probably buy dehydrated beef somewhere, but as I'm vegetarian I prefer TVP which is really easy to cook, high protein, and takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. Here is a really good powdered milk I've tried. Also look at protein powders that weightlifters use. Filling and doesn't take up much space. Also, powdered eggs.

Include bullion cubes, spices, herbs, sauce mixes. You can put all your food together in one bag to mix and match, or vacuum seal them individually to make single meals. I use a system like this either on it's own or to compliment foraged foods like purslane, cattail roots, berries, nettles, stuff like that. Familiarize yourself with edible and medicinal plants in your area.

There are also lots of instructions on the internet for making your own MRE's, with lots of good advice.

You'l be able to custom make your meals, and get a lot more bang for your buck than with Mountain House. If you eat meat, you'll have more options than I do. Spam packets and tuna packets are good additions.

Much better milk - http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Whole-Milk-Powder-900-Grams/dp/B004K0862K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425364174&sr=8-1&keywords=full+fat+powdered+milk

Oatmeal or Grits require only hot water. For no-cook, muesli, granola or cereal with powdered whole milk and berries. NutraGrains or Fig Newtons are also delightful and can be warmed if submerged in the packaging


I tend to pack ProBars for lunch for the extra protein boost, but typically I graze throughout the day on munchums. I've found a 10+ minute rest with food will kill my energy for the next hour by bringing blood to my stomach.

Matt Franko's act debunked:

Though he had a simple act, the delivery was stellar. Here's how it went down.

1. The carton contained water and only water in it.
   
2. The cups had the powdered forms of the different drinks he made. If you look carefully, every time he lifted a cup, he made sure to cover the bottom portion of the cup. Probably because they had the powders in them.
   
3. Franko just added water and they changed color. After they sat for a little, they fully saturated and became the drinks.

If you're looking for a cup of vacuum extracted 6200' Ethiopian Yrgacheffe I can't help you, but my standards change a bit when I'm backpacking. This whole milk powder changes everything. You can also buy heavy cream powder to mix it with if you want a little more fat. I've also come to appreciate Trader Joe's instant coffee. It tastes very similar to actual coffee, which can't be said for all instant coffees. I make a dry blend of whole milk powder, instant coffee, sugar, and a touch of hot chocolate. I don't know if it's a good cup of coffee but it's a delicious, bitter, hot, brown beverage that gets me going in the morning.
