I got sick of it raining inside my left side bag, so I ordered a few packs of desiccant (silica gel for the uninitiated) to toss in my bags and keep things nice and dry.  Second, being relatively unimpressed by the camp foods that I tried, and remembering being rather impressed by the MRE&#8217;s I&#8217;ve had, I ended up ordering a case of MRE&#8217;s from the source&#8230; will probably toss 5-6 of them in the hard cases for legs 2, 3, and 4&#8230; better than bland alfredo and crunchy beans.
