Great dates, I got them dropped off at my house less than 24 hours from California. They are in the freezer now. Looks like they will cover me for several months.

I concur 100% HANKIV ! Also looks like it doesn't need to metamorphosis much from human to commode.

Will point out that no dried or freeze dried fruit is very efficient in terms of calories per gram/ounce. Neither is beef jerky, FWIW. Nuts and seeds are best for that. Not that that efficiency is the only consideration, but it should be one, and near the top.

Dried fruit does provide fiber, which is often scarce on backpacking menus--sometimes with uncomfortable results. Agree that it's hard to get enough calories in reasonable weight and space without nuts, seeds, and other fat-containing foods. The protein in nuts and nut butters also helps.

I found that a tight hip belt seemed to offset the lack of fiber, disastrously on a couple of occasions.
