    I love taking a serving or two of dehydrated kraut on the trail. With slices of summer sausage and maybe some cheese in a tortilla wrap... good stuff. Something different too.

    I usually get the (Ghiradelli?) 86% at WalMart. Individually wrapped squares, a package lasts a couple of weeks. Like Connie, one square is enough, and like 3_Dogs, it goes great with a good scotch.

    These are good stuff. I got the backpacker's sampler of veggies and it's a great way to add some nutrition and variety to your meals.

    I cut a small plastic container that held deli meat down to about 2" tall. Holds my FBC bag while I eat and weighs practically zip. I suppose I could use it as a very small sink if needed.

    I love my Pacer Poles. The only improvement I would wish for is flick locks instead of twist locks. Really though, most any pole will do, and like mentioned by Soumodeler, I used a broom handle...

    Look closely at the photos on their website. You can lose about 4" of width if you raise the floor into the bathtub configuration. My DR is several years old and I really like it, but I do use it...

    I have a couple of small plastic bins with lids that hold all my dehydrated food and powders. I also have a small bin in the freezer with some trail food in it to extend its storage life.

    Raisins, peanuts, M&Ms and honey-nut cheerios. Occasionally I'll put together something more exotic, but buying the separate ingredients usually results in a year's supply.

    A "real" photon has a replaceable battery. Countycomm dot com has cheap knockoff both with and without clips. They're serviceable, and I usually have a bunch in drawers around the house.
