Here is the summary. I didn't have very many responses.
A couple ask what they were.
A couple others said they were O.K., but you wouldn't want to eat them a
lot, not real tasty.
Another said we could get them at a sports store in the "backpack food"
section.
This last one I am going to cut and paste because it was the most info I
received on it.
I got one of the Five Day Packs to try. I received fifteen different
packages. I tried some of them on a backpacking trip where weight was a
concern and they worked very well for that. They were quick and handy
meals. I just added boiling water to all of them. The scrambled eggs were
not my favorite. The vegetables were fine. I supplemented some of the
meals with instant brown rice and instant mashed potatoes so there would be
enough for two of us. I would use these meals for emergency purposes in the
future but not necessarily for planned meals. I felt they were worth trying
and the five year shelf life is nice.
A couple more comments, the individual packets are label GF, but a note with
the packing slip from Alpineaire Foods (the manufacture) states that they
are a manufacturing facility which produces both gluten free and gluten
containing products.
Because of the last comments about the manufacturing facility, I believe
that I will probably not spend my $75 on them. I'll stick with tuna, peanut
butter, make up some of my bread and freeze it, and whatever I can get at
the local grocery as we go through town.
Thanks again for the responses.
