He'll get hungry later. I carried too much food the first three weeks or so,
then not enough for the next 5 1/2 months.

Unless you are going to simmer your meal for 20 minutes, you absolutely have
to presoak the dried food. I put mine in the soaking bottle at breakfast and
let it soak all day. Worked great. Use just enough water to cover the food -
no more; you have to carry it... I did not try anything but instant rice -
the kind that comes in Lipton dinners and only needs to sit for 5 minutes
once you bring it to a boil.

Tell him to hang in there.
