[QUOTE=revelo;13803244]Obviously, there's a ton of other possibilities for non-cook foods. I've spent over 1000 nights camping over the past 12 years (at least 100 nights/year), including both the Applachian and Pacific Crest trails and never cooked once. If you WANT to cook, then by all means do so. But don't let anyone tell you you NEED to cook, regardless of the distance between town stops.

Revelo,this sounds like what I would like to do.Emergency foods which don't need cooking.I am not a finicky eater.What ever is on the table is what I eat.On motorcycle trips I can almost forget to eat some days with no problem.But when pedalling I get a little light headed and semi sick feeling at times.At first I thought I was dehydrated.Last summer I was hospitalized over night for dehydration-another sport.But,even though it felt the same,I thought it was probably lack of food.I didn't like the hospital visit.So I stay hydrated.I have been mixing Vitalyte at a reduced rate,which takes the plastic taste out of the water.

I think I will buy some of your foods and try them at home first.I would never have guessed Kraft Singles would stay good up to 3 days.

Over 1000 nights camping and never cooked.Now that's music to my ears.Thanks.
