The 2013 "No Mountain House Challenge"!
I applaud you guys! If my wife offered, or if a buddy was into dehydrating, cooking I'd be all in. But I'm the kind of person that if no one else were at this house, I'd eat peanut butter, turkey/cheese sandwiches, zone bars, tuna fish and drink milk. Don't get me wrong, I love a nice meal...
