What is in your pack cooking/food related?

Not a fan of the French press, so if I am not doing SB vias, I'll take my plastic cup at a time pour over filter holder, Melitta cone filters and proper grounds.  Just like home, and not too heavy.

For coffee, take the chocolate covered espresso beans and munch on a handful in the morning.  No pots, fuel, boiling, etc.

after a dozen you'll probably have more buzz than you want and not want a coffee...plus you won't have to take a wiz every 20 minutes into your hike.

Does not compute.

Love this thread. Hoping for my first back pack hunt or two this year. Been using the Jet boil for a while, along with the French press for coffee.

What do you guys think about the pre made peanut butter bacon sandwiches? Literally fry some bacon, peanut butter on some bread bread, in a baggy, and into the pack for the hunt?

they are good but I can only do 3 or 4 days of them and then I'm done with them.  The older I get, the more I crave hot foods.  My lunch is usually Ramen these days.

It's all fun and games until you have to make a spork out of a stick

I've had to do that a few times, at least it gives a guy something to do at night.

I will usually try and snag a few dairy Queen Blizzard spoons before I go to eat mountain House meals. It keeps me from having to cut the bag 3 times so I don't get food on my hands.

Tried this stuff this morning. This is what Exo Mountain Gear sent in a little holiday care package this winter. It's sat there for 3 months because I figured it would be terrible like most instant coffee packets. It was actually very good! Much better than the Starbucks Vias junk. No bitter taste, very smooth and strong. I'd definitely drink this again. Have no idea what it costs, probably not cheap.

You guys make it too hard. Just add extra water and pour the bag down your gullet.
