if your computer and bandwidth can handle a food inventory about the
size of the vanagon.com archives, go straight here:

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.
