There must be a thread about food here, but i couldn't find it. :) that said, what about food? What works well out there? What doesn't? Are there any foods that one might normally like at home but find they don't want to touch in the desert due to heat, etc.? Are there certain things that are must h...

[quote="ensign"]I can tell you that the plastic is coated somehow and is perfectly clear. They reviewed this product on Good Morning America a while back as one of the "cool" products for the summer. I have previously ruined a camera at BM and I am happy that this year I can not worry, just whip out...
