As one that carried my meals in cans, a whole lot of cans, I am here to tell you that they take a lot of room, are a major noise problem and the clean up disposal is also a major pain.
but it you have an old time steel helmet then the stews you can make are pretty tasty.
Carried two meals in a wool sock, well two cans of meals add in the dry stuff in the butt pack you tied off the socks for three, four or five days worth then attached them were ever they would fit.
Not only the meals but the load bearing gear is so much better now.
