There are a couple of different products. There is no dry milk. We eat them
dry - usually while hiking or at breaks.
The individual sized boxes of Lucky Charms stand out in my mind. There may
have been one other type of individual box - can't remember which variety.
The good thing is that it is one box per person, so they divide up easily.
They also trade well.
I really enjoy the three (or four) varieties of granola - especially the
Maple Almond. These are in bags that two people must share. It is just
loose, dry granola cereal. I can't think of how to buy it in the grocery
store, unless (perhaps) in the bulk food section.

These are good eat-on-the-run meals.

Good luck with your preparations!
