For carnivores, omnivores and grass eaters alike, "The Hungry Hiker's
Cookbook" is pretty good on getting a lot of food into a small space, i.e.
the westy's storage cabinets.  Bottom line is to prepare the food at home,
then dry it on a cookie sheet in the oven at low heat (or a dehydrater if
you're really ambitious) and ziploc bag it.  On the road, dump it in a pot,
add water, and woomp, there it is!
