Freeze Dry Guy

As a young Paratrooper I had the opportunity to jump out of many perfectly good aircraft carrying a heavy laden rucksack, generally weighing well over 100 pounds that my employer deemed necessary to the performance of my job.

That heavy load usually allowed for no more than about 8 days worth of our beloved canned C-Rations. C-Rations were bulky and heavy, although actually pretty good tasting but they weighed in at around 3 pounds per day if we carried the entire ration.
