Yes. These are freeze dried and delicious. They last a long time, too. After I bought this package, I went and bought the quart sized beans and fruit. The fruit makes the best smoothies! You will have no trouble backpacking with these as they are very light weight.

Yes, the information booklet I received mentioned they were good for backpacking. The packets serve about two meals. I have been cooking with them for a few weeks, but have not used them over a fire. They do have individual purchases rather than an entire set if you are looking for something more specific. Hope this helps.

Ideal for camping because of the size. The large selection included provides great variety for breakfast, soups or evening meals.

I occasionally dry them in the dryer if the weather is bad or I need one dried sooner. They are fine dried that way. I think they will probably last longer if air dried though so whenever possible I hang them outside to dry.

I will venture a guess, since I've not tried it. Yes, I'm thinking you could let soak...maybe even set them in the sun if you are camping. They are so good, tho', you should just buy a case and try it out before your trip. I swear the company did not put me up to this,&#128516;

Check out the GSI ones. Lighter for backpacking. What people don't realize with a pressure cooking and backpacking is that sure, it's heavier than other backpacking products but you save weight with the food you can bring. You can bring ANY dried or freeze dried food and reconstitute it in minutes. Beans, rice, sun dried tomatoes, ect.. in minutes. Oh and also, if you want a hot meal at high altitude and not wait a forever to eat? Pressure cooker! Use it for everything they are awesome.

Well, I would try them and see. Have they been in a humid or hot place? If not probably ok. After all they are dried.

I don't believe there was info w/them. I was thinking they'd be good to snack on but they were drier than I'd expected. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. They seem to me like they might be more useful for tea. Guess I missed the "low moisture" :-/

Pretty sure that they're not. Better go with soaked, dried black mushrooms. These are way too tough even with stems removed.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

No, they are water resistant. THey could handle a misting of sorts or the dampness from being in your backpack that has a pack cover, but not in direct rain or falling in water.

I would call manufacturer. They are dried in a sealed package! Enjoy! Tasty let them moisturize in mouth before chewing and swollowing!

Line drying these would be ideal, but our doublers can be put in the dryer and dried on high heat. They are pretty durable

Yes. They are lightweight, but they seem to work well overall. We had an outdoor party with them this summer and they worked fine.

They can be dried to be crisp...depends on how long you leave them on and at what temperature. We are still experimenting.

I ate them right out of the bag. They are dried. This was the cheapest I had found them and I am still kicking!

I guess they're not super dry, but seem to be dry enough to preserve them. Drying further might deepen the color, which may not be as attractive, depending on what you're cooking. The big question for me would be how do they taste? Mine were pleasant, hot enough to burn awhile, but not hot enough to blow my face off. I like them and think they're pretty,.

Have not tried this but I would think so. They are airtight and light weight.
