You don't need water to be hot to make it--the flakes are so small that it cooks instantly with any temperature of water. It's also surprisingly non-disgusting!<br /><br />And, have you considered selling that photo of breaking camp at sunset to Mountain Hardwear? It makes the tent look pretty impressive.Alicia Hudelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920162593427542080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-71292688278500077952013-01-23T15:25:07.502-07:002013-01-23T15:25:07.502-07:00I'm into the 4 serving packets of instant mash...I'm into the 4 serving packets of instant mashed potatoes.

It's been to long since the last time I snow camped.<br /><br />I've given up on most backpacking meals too - I don't have much of an appetite (for once!) when I'm out there, so the food needs to be really appealing for me to eat it. Mary Jane's has good ingredients but no flavor! So I usually stick with soups (split pea or black bean, the protein keeps me full), the Nile Spice brand has a lot of good ones, just add water. And then, you know, chocolate. <br /><br />I backpacked without a stove once, and I really, really, really missed that morning cup of coffee. I ended up bingeing on caffeinated Honey Stinger gummies.Ingunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673263715080884591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-40441163180315002972013-01-23T10:30:09.147-07:002013-01-23T10:30:09.147-07:00Yeah, I have eaten a lot of different forms of bac...Yeah, I have eaten a lot of different forms of backpacking camp food. My road trip to Alaska turned me off of Tasty Bites Indian food forever, and because of my cross-country bike trip I can't look TVP or powder pasta packets in the eye ever again. Two things I actually still enjoy is Annie's mac and cheese with tuna or black beans, and (sad to say) Cup O' Noodles. But in the case of anything that has to be cooked (rather than just rehydrated), I still believe it's more of a hassle than the worth, especially when I can carry a bagel sandwich or tortilla wrap for virtually the same calorie to weight ratio. I do like coffee in the morning, but if I was ever going to hike the PCT Leslie-style, I wouldn't bother with a stove, either. But the most annoying kinds of stoves (liquid fuel) are a must for winter camping.

On my XC bike trip I used a jetboil stove and would boil dehydrated veggies, then mix in instant puds, and then stir in and heat tuna or canned chicken and it was actually pretty good. Enjoy your blog and best of luck and great adventures to Beat on his quest in Alaska next month.

Leslie said she went stoveless for the entire pct and I'm curious what she ate. If you must, I've found that Mary janes farm, all organic from Idaho, is by far the best.
