Tim - Wierd!  $6 for a freeze-dried meal???  Of course, according to
some Vanagon detractors, we SHOULD stock our Vangagons with such stuff,
with all their horror stories of how often we break down!


Actually, I once calculated that I was consuming about 6,000 calories
per day when I was a grunt in the RVN.  Of course, I used to carry about
10 canteens of water on my pack, too.  Still got down to 170#, though.
NOW, I just carry a 1.75liter bottle of Bacardi, my ice chest and a 1/2
case of Cokes with me in the van.  Along with my tool-box and my Ham
Radio equipment, what ELSE could I really need to TREK ON, at 235#???
