I noticed that regular foods can add a lot of weight so I am looking at something lighter.

Couple Questions:

1. whats a normal touring "load" for you?
2. Where will you be touring?

I know personally when I tour, a fresh apple from the store or roadside stand can go along way. The bad thing about those foods is that they are bland and not very refreshing, for me at least. I always had an apple or orange with me for snacking on and I would stop at a store before setting up camp for supplies. I enjoy rice and beans when touring with plenty of ice cream as well. The freeze dried food would kinda take away from a bit of my experience since eating at local places is always fun, still amazes me how food changes regionally just in the United States let alone the world. Anyway, cheers.
