UK based so my only experience is our 24 hour bags, which are all ready to eat or ready to heat. The only thing you tended to make up was porridge. Lots of curry based packs so you’d get scraps over the all day breakfast and stews after a while. I get why dehydrated works for carrying weight (every ounce you save is more rounds or happier knees) but as you say, you need water.

Ah yes. The forgotten end of the cycle. Where the waste goes! We spent centuries figuring out how to deal with that. A hole in the ground simply doesn’t work long term.

In my experience, the dried foods are only suitable for hiking where you can filter the water but don’t want to carry the weight. But, because a lot of the prep community come from a .mil background they have that mentality and the logistics guys sort out water.
Canned food always worked in the past, tastes a lot better and as you say, don’t need extra fluid to make them palatable.
Edit to add a story.
I was part of the training and medical staff on a week long mil exercise. As I was staff I had privileges which meant I could put a couple of crates in the logistics system for comfort rather than having to carry everything in my Bergen (rucksack). And as well as my kit needed for the role, mine did indeed include some tinned food (soups), homemade bread, an energy cake and a camp bed. The rationale being that as staff we needed to be in better condition to keep everyone else safe. Suffice to say my dinners of ration packs supplemented with bread were envied. After a while those things get boring fast and mess up your gut.

For me, biggest (in every way) issue, and one that you have mentioned, is water. We have a water based system. Consumption, cooking, hygiene, medical care all uses copious amounts of water, even if you’re trying to be careful. If you have 4 humans in a property you will likely use 25L of clean water for consumption and personal care alone per day. That doesn’t include toilets, anything other than a military wash and so forth. I have some bottled water stored for drinking only but to carry a week of water is hundreds of litres. And where we live is water on demand driven by the utilities electric pumps so we often get issues when the power fails.
I’ve seen some very clever and basic systems but can’t implement them due to the property.

I think it’s because those people know you can do either with a Swiss Army knife and will have either forged their own blade or know the bladesmith who has.

I prefer to prescribe mountain air, theres fewer people around and there is more often a good pub to offer company and hearty meals for the traveller before an evening of firelight and community gossip.
However. If that sounds like your thing then I recommend at least 3 weeks in the hope valley, which will help the nerves and constitution considerably.

Why would you want him to end up in prison? In some countries both of those are illegal and may carry a death penalty. Theres easier ways to end a marriage.

One of the original guys for all of that was Tim Ferris. Dropshipping, passive income, catchy books, podcasts… but if you look beneath the hood even he doesn’t fully believe his hype, he just figures out how to tweak systems. Then others take the top layer model and boom, we’re all suffering.
I’m pleased I found your piece, it framed a lot of the concerns I’d not quite verbalised.
