Q: Freeze-dried meals might be a good choice for backpacking because they’re lightweight and provide a good amount of nutrients. Which ones would you buy? — Duc, Sugar Land, Texas A: AS A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE, FREEZE-DRIED MEALS ARE GREAT. BUT YOU’RE PAYING FOR THAT CONVENIENCE. If your budget does allow, though, it doesn’t get much easier than one of these meals. Boil a cup of water, pour it into a bag, stir it up and you’re ready to eat.

THE PRO-TEC CLASSIC ($55) and CLASSIC JUNIOR ($65, two sizes) helmets, certified for skateboarding and cycling, maximize protection for rippers with a high-density shell, inner foam liner and…
