The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

I learnt on my journey from India to Uk thro the Silk Route that the local NAAN served free in all restaurants eaten all by itself is the best food for dehydration. Its time tested.

If its any concern, then vitamin pills are easy to bring along.
I have eaten 10 years old meals left over from an expedition with no ill effects at all, even the taste was as new :-)

I stay away from the freeze dried stuff. I buy top ramon and put it in a large 1 gallon zip lock bag. I remove as much air that I can so it sits really flat. My local store carries chunks of chicken in a sealed bag that you do not have to refrigerate. I take 3 of those bags which sit flat and when I want to eat I just make the top ramon add the chicken along with some spices and eat. It is really good. I usually keep about 3 days worth of food like that and it all fits into a small stuff sack.

Although not dehydrated, and only in the UK, but I take a few of these with me on my trips for backup. The nicest thing is that is they're relatively healthy and very tasty. If you're into it, you can have gluten or milk free ones too.

Boil them in the bag on the camp stove, then when done, use the water for a cup of coffee or tea as the pouches don't leave any nasty stuff in the water either. Plus, no washing up

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
