Some kinds of cooking are not that hard if you have a campfire. But the fact that so many people seem to focus on stoves rather than fires suggests to me that they have abandoned cooking over campfires. Maybe because campfires are banned in many places and often discouraged where not banned.

Personally, I do not eat carbs at all. I have been low carb for 3 and a half years.

I am pretty much convinced that the primary reason for carb loading by hikers and such is that it is the only practical way to make food on the trail by boiling water (pasta, rice, oatmeal, etc.). The ultralight hiking fad is also part of it. Frying pans are heavy.

You're one lucky (insert expletive here). And there's gun show at the Fairgrounds next weekend.

==============================
Sounds like mine,she wants everything from .22 to .45,and if the state didnt make it so tough she would have got it,instead got her a lot more archery stuff,scope for her crossbow,etc etc etc (whistles,fenix lights,eton radio,emergency battery powered plug in lights that come on when power goes out,batteries,charger.... on and on,some for the both of us,she loves this stuff.)

Our power went out last night,had like a bazillion light/power options,radio...she was smiling.

Point being,I ordered a LOT of stuff from advice from users here,thank you,youve opened new horizons for things I hadnt considered before.
