    WHat about the machine that sucks all the air out of the food? How do you supose the food would do? What kinds of stuff would be ok? I am wondering if I can lighten up on cans by opening them an using this to suck the air out of the plastic bag. It is a very thick plastic an it really does a good job of getting all the air out of the bag.

    Don't try it. The food will spoil fast. If, for some reason, spoilage wasn't evident, botulini poisoning would still be a possibility.

    You would have to dry the food first, and most canned items such as stews contain too much fat, which will become rancid.

    Should be lots of posts on cooking, drying, and packaging meals for the trail using the vacuum packager to prolong freshness. There are also threads on pros and cons of mailing supplies or buying as you go.
