Indiana !! Some of us mountain house users have started to split a meal for 2, using a cup for rehydrating the first meal, and the bag for the 2nd meal. Then adding other things to round out the meal, such as fresh veggies, summer sausages, cheese, flat bread or flour torts with the above pb and honey or off the shelf chicken salad on the breads. Bumblebee makes a pretty good chicken salad, tuna salad, and ham salad that keeps okay.
Last summer, I went out 9 days with one group, stopped off at the house for 12 hours for a shower garbage dump and refill and went another 9 days with another group. I was thoroughly Mt housed out at the end of that, so on the next foray of 9 days hiking and two travel days used the above changes with great success. A little extra weight, but well worth it in the end.
