In the evening most of us like to have a cup of joe or tea ( people who have better taste *L* ) Any way for the same size and weight you can have some Miso soup. I always carry some with me on backpacking and camping. And in my bag too. Sea Weed is very high in minerals and is good for you. I also like to carry some sea weed in dry form and add it even more to my Miso soup. Sea weed also goes well with some other food as its slightly salty. Just putting something out there.
HollowDweller every time i sign my name i start thinking of a Goat. Its all your fault and you should make me feel better and send me one of your nice knifes.

I noticed that in their survival shows Ray Mears and Michel Bromgren both drink pine needle tea and swear by it. Being from Australia, I haven't had a chance to sample this northern delicacy. Anyone here drink it, and if so what's the taste like?
 
never had seaweed?? heh, Its just dried and has salt added, I've even had a few small snail shells in it :D

Dunno buddy, but I'd like to try wild "Labrador Tea". Saw a picture of it once, that's about it. Some of this wild stuff tastes like crap, but it often has a medicinal effect or valuable vitamin content.
 
Not everything that is good for you taste good. Its a joke that mother nature plays on us. Why cant Ice Cream be good for me???????????
Fonly i love Seaweed Always have some at home and use it for cooking sometimes. Have you tried Miso soup??? Its great after a very long day of backpacking before you ready to go to sleep. Taste good and warms you up. I add more Seaweed to it and if i feel like it maybe one or two dried up shrimp.

As a kid we used to camp with a coffee can, a can of chicken noodle soup and a couple eggs. we'd cook the soup in the coffee can and ALWAYS throw pine Needles (actually blue spruce) in the soup. as a 9 year old it was great! but now... I don't do it anymore...

We'd turn the can up side down in the morning and cook the eggs on the bottom of the can. Sooty eggs anyone??
 
I dunno. I remember years ago at work some idiot decided to brew some pine needle tea in my "Mr. Coffee"! :mad: It left such a vile taste that the damn thing needed to be condenmed after that!

Sooty eggs=amazing. No campign trip is complete without sooty eggs and bacon.
 
What brand of miso soup do you use? I haven't tried many dried beands of miso. I love it at japanese restaurants. The only brand I've tried I got at Trader Joe's and it sucked. Also ever since I saw "Full Metal Jacket" with the scene in Saigon with the hooker that says "Me so Hohnee" I can't help but say "Me so soup!" Every time I see it on a menu. It pisses my wife off. In Chile we eat kelp all the time. It's put into soups, stews, or eaten like jerky. It's also given to teething babies. We call it Cochayooyo.
 
Yeh, I think I'll give the pine needles a fairly wide berth for the moment.

The reason we're attracted to things that are 'bad' for us (icecream, chocolate, hamburgers, chips etc.) has to do with out evolution as a species. Over the hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution, we lived in an environment in which high calorie foods were quite scarce. As a result we developed a strong attraction to these foods, so that any opportunity to get them was not passed up. The problem is that in the last hundred or so years, we have created an environment in which high calorie foods are available in massive quantities, but we have retained our strong evolutionary attraction to them. Hence the epidemic of obesity in most western societies.
