[Philmont] Backpacking Serving Sizes

== Lunch == 1-gal water for drinkmaster For lunch an 18-oz jar of Peanut Butter was to give 15 servings. Again, need more like 1.5 servings. We also had a 12oz honey and two flat breads per person. Each had a granola bar.

= Breakfast = 3 liters oatmeal + 1 gal drinkmaster + wash water (3 liters??) and coffee water. (assuming cup of water per person)
For breakfast, one envelope of instant oatmeal is not enough, plan two per person next time. We also gave one cereal bar per person.

  Be careful equating what you learned from using Mountain House on a shakedown to what you need for PhilPhood.
   
  Reference the above, the PhilPeanutbutter is in individual packs and is squeezable. The oatmeal in the breakfast pack is also in individual packs. We found that when making oatmeal, it's best fo have hot water to rehydrate the oatmeal and cocoa but to do it in an individuals bowl adn cup, not in one big pot. Others might disagree, but that seemed the easiest.
   
  The only meal you need to "cook" in a large pot and serve fromo that pot is supper and that is pretty universal with all supper meals. That is why crews switch lunch and supper when making a dry camp and at a water source at lunch. Cleanup uses more water than the actual meal does.
