Yep, pouch tuna, pouch pasta/rice sides, pouch oatmeal, pouch hot
chocolate, and of course the good ol' ramen noodle bricks, all compact
and lightweight packaging. Granted the camper does have a refrigerator,
but I still like to keep the baseline pantry stocked with space and
weight efficient stuff.

flavor and texture, as well as not turning your tuna salad into a watery
runny mess.
