[Philmont]: RE: Re-hydration Techniques

Joe,

That is a valid point RE the bag of food tipping over. It is easily
prevented by building the little "corrals" out of three rocks
(grapefruit sized work best) and placing the bag in the center. We
simply rolled the bag shut and folded the rolled part over so the weight
of the bag held it closed, but one could use twist-ties to do the same
thing.

Putting the bag in a pot is very secure but what if one has two or three
bags? Obviously one would not want to carry extra pots just for this
purpose. We carried two pots (one large one medium) but decided the
medium one was not needed and would not take it unless required to by
our ranger.

It is 6 of one, half-dozen of another...that's why we call it a
technique.
