ahhh... yeah...
Why do I get the feeling that once you pull that canned cheeseburger out of the can it will look nothing like that fluffy, fresh one they have on the outside?

Try not to be dissappointed when you open the can to find what looks like a vendo soyburger that someone sat on.

I thought canned foods had to be in water to preserve them? Doesn't it just sit in that air, decaying?

Don't know...

January 27, 2008 Swiss-based company Katadyn began in 1926 when its founder (Professor Georg Alexander Krause) found a way of harnessing the disinfectant qualities of silver and began his pioneering work in portable water purification units. The 80 year old company�s core business is still mobile water sterilization and desalination equipment but over the last decade it has used its dominant global market share and distribution to diversify into a range of other products servicing the special requirements of adventure travelers, campers and the marine industry. Given that its products will be found in the kit of any international relief organization, military Special Opps unit or extreme adventure athlete, it is somewhat of an irony that this company should produce the world�s first cheeseburger in a can.
The canned cheeseburger is sold under one of Katadyn�s best known brands, Trekking-Mahlzeiten, a subsidiary company that develops specialist ready-meals for the outdoor, expedition and extreme athlete markets.
The high tech hamburger has been developed for trekkers and the non-traditional metal wrapping reflects the Trekking-Mahlzeiten company ethos that its speciality meals should be easy to prepare and require only water to do so - simply throw the can into a water container over a fire, give it a minute or two, fish it out, open the lid, and eat. With a shelf life of twelve months without requiring refrigeration, the lightweight snack is the ideal fast food treat for the wilderness.
Trekking-Mahlzeiten offers an array of freeze-dried nourishment, designed so it can be prepared quickly and easily by trekkers, adventurers and expeditionaries using only water and fire. The Trekking-Mahlzeiten product range consists of complete meals, vegetarian meals, soups, vegetables and other diverse nutritional items suitable for everything from breakfast to a high tech chocolate mousse for dessert. Each meal is available in one and two-person servings and the company also offers special sizes and nutritional planning upon request.
In keeping with supplying the essentials in their lightest form, there�s even a red wine that comes in powdered form supplied in single serve pouches for celebrating special moments. When reconstituted, the wine has an alcoholic content of 9.27%, which is lighter than normal bottled wine. A matching mulled wine has also been developed for expeditions in snow and the cold.
Truth be known, the most remarkable of Trekking-Mahlzeiten�s products is not the cheeseburger but Peronin, a complete food in a liquid form, marketed as �fuel for the bloodstream.� Peronin is the food of choice for athletes competing in extreme endurance events (triathlons, marathons, ironman contests, desert races), mountain climbers and adventure seekers.
Unlike regular food, it does not first have to be decomposed in the stomach, but is assimilated directly. Whereas the body will assimilate less than 60 percent of the total calorie intake efficiently in extreme situations (cold, heat, fear and fatigue), Peronin delivers an outstanding 96 percent.
Peronin is quite different from the conventional energy drinks and bars which dominate the consumer market. It consists of medium-chain triglycerides and is assimilated by the body within six minutes.
Peronin is easy to consume during the contest, is readily assimilated by the body, and enters the bloodstream immediately. In addition, in extreme situations, it eliminates the risk of suffering the much-feared fatigue caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood and it minimizes bowel movements.
The world�s first Canned Cheeseburger ensures enjoyable meals in the mountains and other extreme situations. People who take advantage of the vast experience of an expedition food specialist such as Trekking-Mahlzeiten for cooking their outdoor meals will get more out of life: more pleasure, less weight to carry, and more time for other things.

I don't really think of cheeseburgers when I think of Switzerland.
I guess the label on the can will solve that problem.
I hope the lett and tom are fresh and crispy....yummmmmmmmm

Screw the cheeseburger, did you see the Peronin? Talk about TSHTF food.

The cheeseburger is pretty funny. Probably no worse than a kiddie mac if you are a macdonald's addict, though it only keeps a year. Designed for expeditions, after all. Some powdered wine and a fast food type cheapest burger with some ketchup and pickle.

That liquid fuel though, the perodin, would be very useful bugging out. I suspect it is incredibly expensive. But just filtering some water and shaking up some nutrients that did not bog down stomach or colon would be great if you had to walk out to your remote home with everything on your back. Any water you came to, stop and fuel up, rinse your shaker, drink fully, fill your water bottles or bags, rest briefly, and on you go.

Like old time travelers, you could camp near water too.

When my grandmother traveled with us she stayed in motels like modern people. But I have an old letter from a time when she and her brother and his wife traveled by car to see her sons in Arizona, and they camped near water like they had as children traveling by covered wagon. She described the women fixing a big breakfast on the campfire of eggs and ham, coffee and home fries, then heated water and washed up while the dew dried out of the sleeping gear, which was not modern and fancy. The women slept in the car and her brother slept in the grass with blankets.

Her descriptions of the land they crossed had to do with the crops or trees or flowers or any domestic animals or game she saw. A view from a time when people lived closer to nature.

Now we have high tech sleeping bags (a big improvement), water filters she did not need because the water was not so polluted, and besides they boiled anything they consumed, and high tech foods like this. They carried staples like flour, sugar, coffee, lard, and cured meat, and needed a wagon, and hunted or fished for most of their food. They also gathered greens in season.

I think some of that perodin stuff would be great in a walk out set up. Also some of the 5 year high nutrient bars.

As a teen I camped with just a blanket. Sometimes I built a simple lean to if it seemed rainy. But seeing life through her pioneer eyes was fascinating.
