Trip Report - September Long

This forum is so dead.

I miss the trip reports from the other forums when I had different RV's. Here is my last trip with my van on the September long weekend.

Why you need to be prepared!

^ My goodness - those freeze dried meals are expensive - looks like around 9 bucks per 1 person meal. For hubby and I that would be an 18 dollar meal.

I do get those hash browns - you pour hot water into the box and wait for 20 minutes for the potatoes to get soft - then you fry them up. Frozen is way easier, but with limited freezer space...

Yup. Although I find a package is almost too much for one person. My wife and I were out picking berries and stopped for lunch and grabbed one. It was perfect for the both of us.

You got lucky to take pictures of the new snow - very nice.

I'd be interested to hear about your freeze dried dinner packets - like brand, where you get them, etc. Keeping the pantry stocked is a great idea.


Oh - and thanks IAMICHABOD for fixing the link...

I have used all the brands out there. My favorite right now is Happy Yak (made in Canada) followed by Wise and Mountain House. I have used Mountain House for YEARS and they may not be a gourmet brand but they are not horrible either. Locally a couple of the outside stores sell them or if you need a quantityy you can order on-line.

On another site, someone mentioned a brand of Freeze-Dried Hashbrowns that Costco sells that are suppose to be AMAZING!!! I need to get a box of them.

Mike,
Thanks for the Video! I enjoyed the photos and seeing your van,
we have a regular top GMC Savana van that I built out and we use it for short trips 1 to 2 days and for longer trips we tow our 17' Casita trailer with it.

I have thought of a trailer. A Casita, Escape, or Bigfoot would be my choice in the 18 - 20 foot size.
