Abstract
A compact and lightweight support stand is provided for use by campers, backpackers, etc., to support a food pouch or the like containing dehydrated food adapted for reconstitution upon addition of water. The support stand comprises a pair of substantially identical plates shaped to interlock in facing relation to define a stable trough for receiving and supporting a food pouch in an open condition during rehydration and serving. The plates are adapted to be disassembled and nested compactly, such that the support stand occupies a minimum space when packed with other camping equipment.
