    Pre-cooked bacon! SPAM. Dehydrated black beans or refried beans, put 'em on a tortilla. Hardboiled eggs.

    Cereal, also pudding mixes, with dry milk (NIDO rather than stupid non-fat stuff).

    Nutella.

    I like to do crackers with some kind of tuna mayonaise type of mixture. Add a bit of spice to the tuna mix. Tinned tuna does quite well as long as you eat the entire tin in one or at most two sittings.

    Great information.

    I can only add that I like the Tasty Bite brand Bombay Potatoes or Chunky Chickpeas wrapped in a tortilla.

    Spicy but not too spicy food like that is "warming".

    I have seen PackIt Gourmet has add cold water entrees.

    Salads of rice or pasta are calorie-dense if you use a lot of salad dressing in those 4-ounce packets found at the grocery store. If not, PackIt Gourmet has the more generous-size packets.

    Dates, dates with nuts, dates with peanut butter. Not the nasty ones from most grocery stores but the ones from co-ops, natural food stores and high end groceries. Filling and calorie dense.

    Thanks for that list WOO, in on this thread for all intensive future purposes.

    I pack a lot of tuna packets with me when our ship goes out to sea, and I plan on bringing around 75lbs of it for this upcoming deployment. However, tuna is about as lean and healthy as it gets so it appears as though I'm going to get to go all fatty with the mayo, definitely going to bring a bottle of hot sauce as well.
