No joke, is it possible to eat the powder dry? Wash it down with water? Souds revolting and needs must
I tried that a few times, itās quite difficult. Tasty, but pasty.
Is it Cornish?

I think I might try that tomorrow morning. Never tried powder neat, except off my finger tips. Canāt imagine doing that for 3000 calories per day over a few weeksā¦
āpaste-yā.
thoā a Huel pasty would be a thing of beauty.

Super-concentrated Huel-in-a-tube? Spread it on toast. Or just suck it up. Like RTD but āRTSā. 
Iām a great fan of tartex pate. A version of that would be great.
Could have been 11, I canāt remember. No side effects on the day, but a couple of days later a house across the road burned down. Might be a coincidence but I wonāt repeat the experiment in a hurry.
Iām sure there was some warning or recommendation on the regular bars. That was the only reason I ate so many. If there was no risk after all, then Iām not a fearless test pilot, Iām just a daft git. Impossible!

Welcome back David. Missed your wit.

Could you use a small amount of hot water or will you not have access to that? You could buy the RTD bottles in retailers as you work your way up the country, but I know that doesnāt give you a guaranteed food supply so itās not ideal.
Incredible, I nearly forgot about this!
Sounds like an amazing trip!
Iāve been using Huel for hiking and every day life for 2,5 years. Iām really happy with it for both situations. But lets focus on trail, since itās similar to cycling. So let me first address your concern of washing. Itās really easy, just take the water and wash away from the stream so it filters into the ground. I donāt use any dish soap, but if you do of course use something thatās not harmful for the environment. Also, before I wash, I first try my best to get every little bit of powder down my stomach, since every gram of calories count when you carry it on your back. I do this by adding a tiny bit of water and scraping as much as I can out (yes, Iām hiker trash 
).
My main product on hike is Black Edition, but I eat on average 2 bars per day, and maybe on average 3-4 Hot & Savory per week. Iāve only brought 3.1 bars on hikes so far, Iām concerned the protein bars might melt, and also might be more affected by cold weather as well. This summer I was hiking for 4 weeks in the Norwegian mountains. I brought a small gas canister and pocket size stove. Of course it adds weight (and space!), and I am seriously considering leaving it at home. But when the temperature can drop bellow freezing even in summer itās comforting to be able to get a hot drink or meal. Overall thou I really like the Black Edition when hiking, because when hiking long days like I do itās a lot easier to drink then to eat something hot.
My whole kitchen setup with stove, gas, flint & steel, pot, spoon weights 420 gram, and I would have to bring either a shaker or pot and spoon regardless, and I would bring flint & steel as well, so weight saving would be around 300g if I left the stove and gas (gas canister weight 97g+100g fuel when itās full).
To save on weight this summer I left the shaker at home. So instead of shaking I had to stir the Black Edition in the pot, and since the pot is quite small I had to repeat the process twice to get a good size meal. For me the weight saving was worth it, but the shaker is convenient (and stylish!). The new tritan shaker is quite heavy at 173 gram thou, but itās hard to compare it with my small 55g pot with a 21g lid. 
As for charging it depends on your needs, but when cycling itās never far to get to a restaurant or some public place where you can charge once in a while. I use a Nitcore NB20000 which Iām really happy with along with a Baseus GaN2 PRO 65W charger to be able to charge all my devices quick in case I only have a short time to charge at a restaurant or similar. Solar panels isnāt an option for me, theyāre too heavy and when constantly on the move itās hard to get good effect out of them. If you stay longer in camp maybe, but I wouldnāt recommend them. Oh, and a pro tip is to not save weight on short cables, itās really annoying if you have to try to balance your device or even have it hanging in mid air!

Tried it, it all gets stuck to every part of your mouth, the roof, the teeth, the gums, everything, it was horrible, tasted alright, but was a chore to get off, have to brush my teeth again now.
Thank you for all that information!
