Why freezer bag cook?

·        It is cheap, it is easy and it is really good food.

·        It is very lightweight.

·        If you are filtering water instead of carrying water, the meals will disguise the taste of bad water.

·        You have a lot of the food you need in your food storage.

·        Because it will cause two boys to work together to make sure they eat!
