The Phil-list Feb_2008: [philmont] stoves and hot breakfast

Of course, I only eat oatmeal when I'm cold, but I add walnuts and honey. I
also want it steaming hot (softens the walnuts and spreads the honey
around).

For a young Philmont trekker, probably one of the highlights of the trip is
telling his friends about eating oatmeal on the run. But I'll either get up
earlier or find another breakfast! I'll take your word for the taste!

Jim,

Don't be so picky! Add hot water to instant oatmeal, cool to eating temp and
see if you can really tell the difference between that and adding just
plain, unheated water. There might be a telling difference during an ice
storm like we are having in St. Louis right now. Remember your bod doesn't
care - fuel is fuel.

We also have kids add a dash of Tabasco - sort of like grits with a dash.

David,

I learned from this list a long time ago that you don't need "hot" water for
instant oatmeal. Even the ones with a coffee habit got over that need. We
always ate breakfasts on the trail at some scenic spot - that got us out of
camp easily in the morning. We would mix water in and eat out of the
envelope, lick the spoon and you're done. Some of the spots where we ate
breakfasts were really great and sort of a good time to discuss what was
going to happen that day. This is another good trick to pass on to the troop
at home and expand habits learned at Philmont.

We also use Jet Boil stoves and will be taking them to Philmont.
Have you determined how many fuel canisters you'll need per
stove. I am assuming we're going to need to boil water for every dinner
and perhaps 5 breakfasts. We will have one stove per four scouts. I
know there is a difference in boil time at 500 feet (where we're
at), 7,000 feet, and 10,000 feet - just haven't figured out the differences
yet.

Thanks, Dave
