Just spotted the price on the food packet.  :o

About as cheap as they get  :(

I did wonder about getting some canned food which is a hell of a lot cheaper and bag it up, but its mess & hassle.

I was going to suggest that ::) ::) when I used to do a bit of walking I used to carry a tin or two of sausages in beans or the breakfast in a can etc, much cheaper.. :y :y

I guess the problem is that you'd need some sort of sealable bag that you can boil. I reckon you need to have Mick Dundee and Kate following you with a different curry each night.

I have tried tinned food, the problems I found were:

* Storage on the bike, can't take many.
* Weight, they are a considerable weight when there are a few of them
* Mess, this is key after putting food in, jet boil needs cleaning. (so   have to bring plate washing stuff

But it is cheaper, not sure I would trust DIY bags of food in boiling water for 10 minutes  :-/

Get one of those little vac sealers, tin of beans and saus sealed in a thick bag would save you a fortune at those prices.

Not sure if they could take being boiled?  :-/

Also not sure how long food would last after being opened then sealed, still good after 10 days?  :-/

Sounds like it might be worth an experiment at those prices.

True, might try it here though, as if one does explode in cooking pot I can pop it in the dishwasher!
