What are some ideas or what do you all fix for your DH for lunches? Mine has no access to microwaves or anything like that, just pure wilderness, but I need some ideas of something filling besides sandwiches, lol

What exactly is he doing in the wilderness and does he have a stove?
I backpack a lot, and know how to feed myself in the wilderness. What is DH doing? Is he hunting or camping? Based at a cabin, or staying "on the ground" in a tent? Does he have a portable stove for heat? Is weight of the food an issue as it is in backpacking? Is attracting critters an issue? Food smells can be problematic depending on what activity he's doing.
I don't know the details of this outing, so I may be way off base here. I ask forgiveness in advance, if necessary. But, if your DH is experienced in this sort of thing, he really should know how to do this for himself. If he doesn't have experience, I hope he's not going out there alone.
Finally - a voice of reason in the wilderness!
and please, OP - GET OVER IT - he WAS just being nice!
Hot lunches
I had a similar situation around Thanksgiving. We had sent over 60 dollars to my sons lunch account. Well one day the lunch lady pulled him out of line, mind you these kids only have 20 min. lunches. After pulling my son out of line and in front of all his peers, she proceeds to tell him that if he does not have the Money he will have to have bread and water tomorrow. Talk about being angered. I had to wait a week to handle the situation as I was so upset. Then after meeting with the principal and discussing this. He chooses not to address the problem but get this- He called my son to his office and in front of all the office staff and others proceeds to call my son a liar. Since our complaint my never get in trouble son, started having letters sent home stating he had a bad attitude. The kicker was when I was at work one day the phone rings and who is it but the principal. He informs me my son was sent to see him for disrespect to a teacher. I asked if he was sure that it was ANdy. He said are you calling me a liar?? Well maybe how long ago did this happen and when did you last see Andy? He stated he had just sent him back to class. We I said, You are a liar because my son is and has been home all day ill.
School lunches -
Child is entering middle school this year. Came home today with a lunch menu. Among the standard lunch are ala carte items including sports drinks, soda, pretzel with cheese, nachos with cheese, breadsticks with sauce, ice cream, etc. All of these items run abotut $1.50 a piece and of course the school encourages that you fill the student's lunch account and not send daily cash.
Of course we will talk with him and let him know what is expected but was wondering if any of you have gone through this already? Do you find that its a problem? How did you handle it? Personally, I don't see why any kid wouldn't want to skip a real lunch for a pretzel with cheese and a pepsi! It is a very good district but this has totally rubbed me the wrong way. I cannot believe they are offering this to 10-13 year old kids.
School lunches are quite healthy in this day and age...
they have a lot of standards they have to be up on. Our school serves at least 3 fruits/veggie options with every meal. They actually serve healthy things like yogurt, side salads, etc. When I was younger, school lunch was terrible, but that's changed. It went from just plain terrible when I was a kid to terrible because they served so much unhealthy pop, chips and all to now where they aren't even allowed to have pop OR chips. The ones who bring their own lunces are the eating the crud now. The weight may have been the tubs of pb eaten with a spoon rather than the actual lunches served, as being a tween you should have burned off even a crappy lunch.
Our school lunches are disgusting
It's like eating at McDonald's every day. Chicken nuggets, burgers, pizza, nachos, chips. Anything the district can get cheap. Yuck.
school lunches are $100/month and going up!!!! YIKES!!!!
