My MSR Whisperlite would cover "cooking" for me...

But I really haven't used it for anything other than boiling water for freeze dried meals.

In the mean time, I'm going to work on creating my own freeze dried meals without shelling out $5-9/meal for pre-packaged food. Some meals are good, but others are definitely not worth that expense. Will look for (dried) items that will cook similarly to freeze dried meals, especially IRT time in the pouch. Will also look for reusable pouches to pack individual meals...something more substantial than ziplock bags.

Backpackers. What do you think of JetBoil stoves? -- EDGEMAN 04/16/2019 5:48PM

I prefer the Pocket Rocket or Snow Peak LiteMax type stoves. -- NWHokie 04/16/2019 10:43PM

I'd like to learn how to dehydrate food myself. -- NWHokie 04/17/2019 10:12AM

I plan to start with "Readily Available Supermarket Dried Foods" -- EDGEMAN 04/17/2019 12:34PM

Too big and too heavy. -- ScottsdaleHokie 04/16/2019 9:09PM

I'm currently packing Snow Peak pots too -- EDGEMAN 04/17/2019 08:13AM

I'm sure that will work out well. -- ScottsdaleHokie 04/17/2019 1:46PM

To elaborate, the additional pots take up room in my pack. Weight isn't... -- EDGEMAN 04/17/2019 09:29AM

Mine works well ** -- Nelsonia Hokie 04/16/2019 8:07PM

I would buy a MSR whisperlite.... -- ColoradoGobbler 04/16/2019 6:59PM

That's what I use as well, prefer the refillable bottles ** -- Vienna_Hokie 04/17/2019 12:46PM

That's what I'm carrying now. Want to go lighter. -- EDGEMAN 04/16/2019 8:13PM

I use the MSR Windburner which is pretty similar, and I'm happy with it ** -- Synaesthesia 04/16/2019 6:00PM
