Freezerbag cooking works well for some things, not well for others, just like any other approach. Freezerbag omlettes are pratty good, providing you remember that eggs out of the shell don't keep too long. Same with fresh meat or fish. But pre-cooking and just warming the meal in the freezerbag, possibly with freezing it after cooking, can produce some great gourmet meals without dirtying up a bunch of pots. Using the bag as a container for things like ramen with tuna or chicken also works well (the tuna and chicken coming from the foil packets, not cans - oh, yeah, there is also salmon and a few other meats in the foil packs, which are much lighter than cans).

Something that works well on long backpacks where you can't carry fresh veggies - learn to sprout mung beans (the bean for Chinese bean sprouts) in a plastic jar. This is really welcome about the 5th day of a week-long hike. If you get June Fleming's book on backpack cooking, you can get lots of hints like this.
