Wouldn't retort packaged food also have the same amount of water in it?
And if I went with dehydrated food, I would definitely need a stove to warm up water etc. Which then adds the weight of the fuel canister, the stove, and a water boiling receptacle.
I figured 4 MREs would be lighter than this, or at least roughly the same weight, but less of a hassle to use?
Thanks btw - I appreciate any and all tips!
