   Just one tip I have picheked up that will save you a lot of scrubbing, you can just pour the hot water right into the oatmeal packet and the paper it is made of will stay intact.

   I like using alcohol stoves. I have never seen one like yours though with the top open like that. very cool. make getting the alcohol in easier! for my AT trip in spring of 2010 I may consider jetboil though. not sure yet though. very good video!

   Great info, thanks for sharing your time and experience. Sounds like a great packing menu, easy and satisfying, and easy to have on hand. It’s often the provisions (or their depletion) that send me home early, so these tips have are very helpful!

   Another food to consider and one of the easiest to make, smells real good around camp too, is stove top stuffing. Of course the old stand by is Ramon noodles. I doctor them up with cooked ready to eat meat now found in foil packets, like tuna, chicken, salmon, even hamburger and bacon. Bagels and flour tortillas pack well in a backpack (unlike bread) for making snack/lunch items out of. Peanut butter, nutella, and cheeses are all good on them.

   A little less expensive than a power bar and more calories is the old stand by ’snickers’ candy bar. Others items that come to mind are Lipton Pasta side dishes. These too can be spiced up with the foil packed meats. Combining diferent items you never thought of, one thing I do is take a flour tortilla and fill it with a snicker bar covered with peanut butter. Just some ideas….

   Homemade GORP (good old raisins and peanuts) makes a great snack. I make mine with raisins, peanuts and chocolate chips, sometimes swapping m&m’s for the chocolate chips in hotter weather.Quenching thirst and hunger while hiking, hard candies make excellent fillers between meals. . Good old ‘power bars’ are packed with dietary essentials and come in many flavors and are a great energy boost at any time.

   Nice vid, and great point about bringing simple foods! Nifty setup, too. What are other staples do you bring for snacks and meals while backpacking? I have the same morning fare myself, just prepared and eaten out of the package to reduce cleanup & increase simplicity. Oatmeal and instant mashed potato have been standards, but I’m always on the lookout for simple hot meals that work well for backpacking. You seem to be rather aware in this regard! Thanks

    Picking foods that are easy to make and just as important, easy to clean up after, makes backpacking a lot smoother.

    The pot and matching lid/fry pan are old MSR Titanium items, manufactured by Evernew. The pot is 900mL.

    I put a tortilla on top of the lid to warm while the water is coming to a boil. Oatmeal, tortilla and a cuppajoe.
