Good VideoTips!

I found a camping video on YouTube that talks about lightweight camping food. This guy has some good recommendations about food. What do you think about his advice?

This has always been the rule in backpacking. There is nothing new with what the presenter suggested but I agree with all that he said. I never carry canned foods in my hiking trips.

I agree! When you hike, you must carry goods and gears that are light in weight.

You can carry canned goods if you wanted to have some more weight in your backpack for building up your leg muscles.

If I want something other than the standard, I go for MREs. I like most MREs, amazingly enough so I don't mind getting some to take along. I've heard the Army has had to make MREs more palatable for the troops so they would eat them. A lot of the old recipes have been thrown away and they're making more modern things available. Here's a site that I found that has a lot of MRE's including things like freeze dried blueberries and things like that.
