Sure. That's why I put Scout in the title?
Yeah they say 4-6 man days and that's my target range if interest as I said. Things crazy light.
I got a notice from Pakit Gourmet they're having a sale: should head over and give them a try.

A friend of mine says it's a pretty good beer cooler - just add ice. (For a six pack, I suppose.)

Makes sense: stand up a six pack of bottles and pour the ice in.
Hmm, now I'm thirsty.

Heh, the one thing that makes those Yeti coolers look reasonably priced....

Ooh - I bet you could get a lot of these in a bear can. An absolute necessity ... and you could even add some individual half-n-half containers! Seriously, though, I'd consider packing in some bacon jerky. Yum. |

I thought the scout has been around for at least 10 years.

I've had the Scout for at least 5 years and can get 6 days of food, but I dehydrate my own then package into individual servings. Mostly mashed potatoes pinto beans, brown rice, tomato-chile bark, peas, okra, kale, cajun trip mix, corn tortilla chips and dried-smoke flavored salmon for dinners....small granular stuff. I think next time I will try pre-measuring the ingredients into larger common bags for a better fit into the can.
The Scout is not permitted in some western Parks, but the Weekender seems to be universally accepted.

It does mean going back to washing dishes, but less bulk from packaging can start to matter when it's 2-4 people for a week or more. |

Might even be able to rinse out and reuse. Definitely a possibility; we usually rinse and dry our bags after use. But at that point, if you have to get the bag clean enough to reuse, might as well clean the bowl! |

Yeah, it has been around quite a while. I saw it on their web site probably 8 years ago.

Just for those who are thinking about getting a bearikade, Wild Ideas will also provide custom length cans.
