Safeway has the Lipton "cooks in N minutes" rice and noodle side dishes on sale this week for $1.
Repack them into a snack size ziplock, add 3 oz chicken or tuna, and you have a great back pack meal. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

I've used one of those each night of my last two week long trips. Great BP food.
While we're at it, you can take any of the Lipton "Rice Sides" and dump them in your pot, let them sit for 10 minutes them just warm'm up hugely reducing cook time a fuel needs. Works great. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.

Well I scored 7 of the Lipton side dishes of both rice or noodles so thanks for the heads up Shawn. Only 7 bucks for a lot of good trip food. _________________ Seize from every moment its unique novelty and do not prepare your joys

Yeah, it costs more for the package than the fluff inside. Which is also true a can of a Coke nowdays as well. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Great carb/protein & cooking tip - I'll be adding that to my newbie packer list! |

Bachpackers watch the grams they pack away. Even if they are not devoted ultralight backpackers such as myself; we take a close hard look atwhat we are willing to cart around on our backs for 2 days or 2 weeks. It could easily cost a grand or even two to shave 12 Wal Mart pounds off of your backpack weight.
Have you ever thought of sawing half the handle off your toothbrush? or wearing the same socks for 3 days? _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.
