This is my best tip. I never enjoyed camp cooking, hate cleaning up, and don't drink coffee. It took an embarrassingly long time to figure out that leaving the cook kit at home greatly improved my travel style. I eat better with more fresh fruit and veg, less sodium, less packaging. One less chore to resupply fuel on long trips. Dry camps are more pleasant and way more frequent. Fewer food odors in grizz country.
