[philmont] tip of the day

Why not skip the boiling of the water and simply take a Vivarin, if ingestion of caffeine is the object? (obvously this does not apply if ingestion of hot liquid is the object. Or taste, for that matter. For either ot those priorities, I'd go for Cup of Soup or apple cider, rather than instant coffee).Can't say I've tried this one on the trail (see my previous post about caffeine as a diuretic), but I have used it when breaking camp at Capitol Reef National Park, intending to make it to Bryce Canyon without loss of time, driving solo.

Perhaps this is offered tongue in cheek. Maybe it will work for you. Who knows?
