I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Sure, good quality and offerings (try the Black Bart Chili...add a few elbow macs on the side). But all the brands are ok...I've stopped buying some of the Backpacker's Pantry as their stated cook times are based on 5000' and they recommend doubling for every 5000' above that. So at high alt you either wait 20 minutes (at which point temperature is dropping) or live with crunchy. No thanks.
