I'm hoping to get my hands on some real coffee pouches a buddy is working on developing.  He says they are super duper and tastier than anything out there.  I'm a bit excited because I LOVE me some good coffee!

Careful with the plastic sporks. On day 1 of a  7 day trip last year i snapped mine into pieces digging into a tuna packet.. sucked eating dehyrated chili and taco soup without a untensil.

-MSR Pocket Rocket, aluminum foil windscreen
-Evernew Titanium UL Pot .9L (have a larger pot when with groups)
-Fozzils folding cup or bowl - these are pretty cool as they can lay flat to double as a cutting board plus it is super easy to clean.
-Titanium or cheap plastic spork
-Mini bic lighter
-Via packet for coffee - dehydrated coconut mile as creamer, pretty good if you like the flavor of coconut

I usually cook homemade meals in my pot, opposed to just boiling water, and will pack one paper towel per day to help get my pot clean enough so that my coffee does not taste like dinner.

I use a jetboil and spork. But my jetboil doesn't taste like ramen! I package dehydrated food into quart freezer bags, poor the hot water directly into it, then put that back in the jetboil to let it sit. No mess.

But to everybody drinking Starbucks Via: there's a better way!

I haven't known anybody to try this coffee and go back to Via. It is roughly one million times better.

I've done that too but then I have a jetboil I can't use to make coffee.  Also, consider me the first person you have talked to that prefers Vias over Medaglia  :chuckle:  I do know a few folks who really dig that stuff though.  Another good option for java for sure.  Anything beats the folgers singles  :puke:

Half ounce alcohol stove, Snow Peak aluminum pot, long plastic spoon, and Sea-to-Summit plastic insulated cup.  Super light. 

Titanium is sexier and weighs less, but you pay more $$ to save very little weight because these items weigh so little made in plastic or aluminum.

This is my cookset, I can boil water for breakfast and dinner for atleast with one fuel bottle and she boils in about 3mins. Sometimes I take alittle titanium pan and a small bottle(3oz) of oil to fry up spam singles or cook fish or grouse up.

I have started taking the powdered individual Gatorade packets.  Hot Gatorade is really nice, I only use a third of the packet per serving.  The Gatorade staves off those Frank Church elevation cramps when you are back in the shelter for the night!

I carry two plastic spoons.  The kind you buy in 50 packs at the grocery store for picnics.  They are so light it doesn't matter if you carry two or three.  If one breaks I just grab another and keep eating.

New question as a follow on that could be advice for the beginner backpack hunter that spends days away from the truck, what's your breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner?

As a rule of thumb, I want to get everything minus dinner inside a gallon ziploc bag. Breakfast, lunch and the days snacks. That makes it easy to set it up for the next day. Leave breakfast at the top of the ziploc.

Breakfast, protein powder and granola with dehydrated milk in a ziploc. Lunch is dehydrated meal and so is dinner. Snacks are almonds, protein bars, mini candy bars, various breakfast bar type things, dried meats and fruits etc. I always carry a few Oreos per day for when I need a quick sugar. if it's a shorter trip, then I like a couple small apples per day for extra fiber and fruit energy. Too heavy for longer trips though. Tuna packets are a must for me as well. Never skimp on the salt and pepper and sriracha packets...And now BLRman has me hooked on olive oil packets!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

MH breakfast, water,  protein bar, water,  dehydrated fruit,water w/ powder Gatorade nuts, water , MH dinner, warm water , bed.

Repeat.

For me, the less thought I put into seasonings, food accessories etc... the better. There aren't many things that require all the ticky tack crap.
Just tend your own and live.
