EDITOR'S NOTES::

Packaging & Reconstitution:

For use on the trail, I'd either (1) packaged in a heavy-duty freezer bag, pour hot water into the bag, let sit until reconstituted, then eat or (2) boil water in pot, add dried mixture to the water, remove from heat source, cover, let stand til reconstituted, then eat.
