I've brought canned beans and also spam on many backpacking trips. Taking up space after they're empty isn't really an issue. The weight is all gone, and you can stuff them with trash you can't burn

You can just stomp on cans to make them flat. Last century my frugal grandparents used to rinse flatten all their cans and then take them back to the scrap metal place for $$$. It was weird, but it wasn't difficult.

I've never taken cans of anything when hiking. They're too bulky and inflexible to pack into a rucksack, and they'd keep taking up space even after you've eaten the contents.

Ramen and dried pasta'n'sauce are my staples - they're dirt cheap and they crush up well and can be wedged into a rucksack. For meat I'll sometimes bring jerky but normally I'll just go meat-free for a week and replace it with stuff that has a stupidly high amount of energy-dense sugar instead.

No loving way I'm sitting down after a long hike to crack open a can of sub-dog food meat and wet bread.

Camping and backpacking are very different things. You're not really limited by weight when camping.

We had a can crusher for soda cans growing up, but other cans got put in the dishwasher and other than the lid, tossed right in the recycle bin intact. We initially took that all down to the scrap metal place, but my mom decided she didn't want to take like 3 bags of cans to get $10 or whatever it was, apparently it wasn't enough cash to care about.

Also, my parents are very lazy so, that was probably the bigger factor.

This guy sucks. This is not even remotely pizza it's nachos. I watched some of his videos before as I enjoy ex-con type inside info, but it's all him just jerking his own dick and trying to get big online, and I don't give a gently caress.

I clean hoarder houses as a side job that earns more money than my regular job. A big part of my pay is bagging up old cans and various metal containers and taking them to my buddy Elder Deacon who runs the scrap place. I only get about $15 per giant lawn bag but I usually have three or four bags. Scrapping cans is a good way to get weed money.

Hauling those bags around is why I won't take cans camping though. You don't leave your trash behind and cans get annoyingly bulky and heavy faster than I'd like.

I've had prison pizza. It had ramen noodles and crushed Doritos as the crust and the sauce was ketchup and pickle juice. Frankly it was delicious.

This guy had a way better commissary than I did if this was his prison food. But probably not and he's full of poo poo.

That's actually fascinating. My gf and I are huge fans of all the hoarding shows, and her family are hoarders, as well as my good friend, and we've both cleaned their homes which was like loving vietnam. When you say clean hoarder homes, are you just in there clearing out after they've left the property, or like are you bickering with them over all the stuff...cause my buddy made my life hell just so I could clean out his dumb goon apartment and throw away literal rotting trash. I did this two times over the years and he resented me for it both times but I don't care, he shouldn't live like that.

We do both types. I obviously prefer the jobs with no one on site. But I'm actually super good with people who are hoarders because my Mom is one and I understand the psychology very well. It's how I got the job.

Most of the people I have cleaned for are genuinely horrified and are only calling someone from Outside to help because they realize things are too far gone. They either stay hidden away or help as much as they can and they're always lovely.

The people that aren't there yet take a few compassionate "you hold this nasty poo poo with your bare hands and still tell me you want to keep this" conversations. After that it's all good. They like to barter for stuff and it's entirely my job to give them the dignity of haggling for tin cans. It's how you approach it. I love the people I clean for because there's no amount of dignity in watching someone dig through your life, but they trust me to do it. It's all in how you look at it. And usually in the moment I'm doing all I can to enjoy myself and that helps the people I'm cleaning for.

Also seriously I get so much money. It's ridiculous.

There was a store in my neighborhood as a kid that sold dehydrated refried beans and dehydrated cheddar. I'd just mix those in a bag with a packet of burrito seasonings and then portion that out by meal into little travel bags. Tortillas were an easy carry and I could do the whole thing in a foil bag over a fire and skip using the butane. It was great if ugly.

A lot of my backpacking trips were up a mountain, camp on a ridge, so I had to pack in water too, which makes dehydrated food effectively weigh MORE than some canned food in the sense that it was two packages instead of one

If you have access to water along the way, it becomes a very different calculus


Edit: those little packets spam comes in now must be loving amazing to hike with

Man up and eat that chili dog with your hands. Your supposed to get your hands covered in grease and cheese so you can lick them when you’re done. This is ballpark food, it’s supposed to be uncivilized.

just imagining getting a nice layer of chili grease on top of my sweat soaked face at a 110 degree shadeless Texas baseball game, so good

which reminds me, am I the only one who goes into a blind rage when pizza cheese flops onto my chin? if that poo poo happens that's pretty much a wrap on the day for me

If I were to go to a game, yeah I'd get a regular manageable dog and eat it with my hands, but in the privacy of my own home I just dump chili on there until the dog is totally buried and scoop it up with a fork like a animal

Really if you're so concerned about not making a mess that you try eating chili dogs with a fork you shouldn't be eating chili dogs to begin with.

I do have to wonder if there are artisanal deconstructed chili dogs in existence, because those would probably be suitable for eating with a fork (although you'd probably eat them with a straw or something else pretentious)
