gordy28 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Newest Post is Up Its another Algonquin report with a twist - I wasn't able to make it! Thankfully my brother (and the group) stepped up to the plate and pulled together a report They headed into Algonquin for 2 nights - Happy Ilse and Merchant Lake via the Opeongo shuttle All in all they had a great time, caught some fish, tried new gear - jealous I wasn't able to make it https://www.northernjacks.com/post/the-opeongo-shuffle Cheers Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well.......................I did the freeze-dried meals thing a lot when I was hiking and canoe camping forty or so years ago. Maybe the meals are better now (and almost certainly this is true), BUT!!!!! I will happily walk more loaded miles to eat real food, even if it means doubling a 2 km portage!

Doug Doug I know the guys made the meals themselves this time and by all accounts they were great. I have found that we are starting to gravitate towards easier meals for our trips as opposed to decadent. We just had a planning chat for our fly in next summer and a few of our more complicated meals got gassed for easier but hardy ones. Re no smoker ribs this time instead a good pre made chili Less time cooking and more time fishing and beers at the fore I guess lol Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that a person could freeze-dry their own food. I still don't think I would go back to that kind of meals, but home-made is going to be better than dried cardboard in a foil pouch.............just add water and grumble.........🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think home dehydrated food is the “new thing”. Dehydrators are relatively cheap, you control what your eating and the ore bought meals are not cheap Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
