> Ditto the oatmeal in the packet idea with cold water. Figured this out last weekend on a trek when we
were having some stove problems. The adults had more of a problem getting over the cold oatmeal
idea than the kids.

> Instant Oatmeal: it doesn't need hot water. It works well with cold water and since we never ate
breakfast in camp why bother with stoves (unless cold and rainy). Just pour some water into the packet,
stir a bit, wait a bit and eat. Guys thought they were just fine - we now have a new,easy custom on troop
hikes with cold instant oatmeal.

Trek 4, we had to start out with 6 days of food, even though we were within striking distance of a
comissary on about day 3. As for your other question on weight, it varies from meal to meal. Some of
the lunches include canned meat, and can get heavy. Cooking techniques are your own personal
preference, We used the one pot method, put meals for 12 into one pot of boiling water, stirred for a
few minutes, added the potatoes, stirred some more, and ate.
