I admit that when I am backpacking I eat dried foods like oatmeal, rice, beans. With some assorted dried fruits, hard breads, PB, gels. I try to eat a lot for the weight.

I will admit that I have no finesse in cooking on any platform bigger than my camp stove. I am a mess in a kitchen, absent at the grill and well....its doesn't take any brains to char a dead animal over a fire, so I am okay there.
