For my upcoming Holland Track ride I have decided to take Backcountry Cuisine meals along with me as I suspect that the single serve sizing will be more than sufficient and it just makes things a little easier for this ride. One of the issues bikepacking is limited space so looking at options to reduce both packing size and weight.
Anyway my probably rather silly question (and I suspect I know the answer) is, is there any reason why I cannot put a small hole in the packets to let the air out so I can get them to pack down smaller or for that matter any reason why I couldn't repackage them them into ziplocks as really I cannot see the need for the package for rehydrating; my pot can do that.
Silly ideas?
