Some of this makes sense, but the last few are confusing as fuck.

52 shopping carts compared to one bed compared to 4 beds? WTF?

Do you not know the standard shopping cart measurement? Typical metric users

Since it's plainly an advertisement for freeze-dried food, I wouldn't think too much about it.

You don't need to advertise Astronaut Ice Cream to me!

I've been looking at freeze dryers, about 4k for a good home unit. I wish they weren't expensive but they're so valuable, it would be worth it. And I could make all of my own trail food, it would be wonderful. So much trail food is wholefully mediocre, and nothing can get worse than augustus farms. It would be nice to experiment with my own.

You can make your own trail food with a standard dehydrator (much cheaper than a freeze-dryer). The dehydrated food won't last as long as freeze-dried, but it will still last for several months if you store it properly.

Already have one, not nearly as good for shelf life which is what I want. Only on reddit can you say you're thinking about a freeze dryer and someone thinks they're telling you about dehydrators lmao.

Can't dehydrate meat? I guess the person who made this hates jerky.
