Yeah I looked into a real camp stove and it would be nice but my main reason for not getting one is the cost. I'm a broke ass college student so not spending money is imperative haha.

Thanks for all the good suggestions of foods to bring, I'm definitely in that category of rider who eats like 5k calories just to not have a rumbling stomach. Got another week of planning and I want to build Antonine different types of alcohol stoves. I've been using rubbing alcohol, does anything else burn better as a fuel?
