Also check out www.waltonfeed.com if your computer and bandwidth can handle a food inventory about the size of the vanagon.com archives, go straight here: <http://waltonfeed.com/cart/all.html> Their deal is that they don't freeze-dry food, their rationale is why pay many times more to remove the last few percent of moisture when it will last five or ten years anyway? We ran across this kinda survivalist site looking for backpacking alternatives to expensive freeze-dried food. What we've tried has been good-to-excellent quality. The disadvantage for backpacking is that dehydrated foods require a lot of boiling--and therefore fuel--to reconstitute compared with freeze-dried, but that's not such a big issue on a westy stove. Also, it's the only place I know of you can get dehydrated fixings like sour cream, butter, cheese, desserts, etc. Unbelievable inventory. Their stuff all comes in cans as far as I know. They are good to deal with. Jim
