Cook
To be honest I have no clue why the Primus stove would be ideal for me. I guess I just like how it looks to be all-in-one, compact, and easy to use. I have made several alcohol stoves ( cat food cans ) and I will get one of those pots from Kmart as you suggested. It may be that with practice that is all I will need. I must admit I have given very little thought as to what I will actually be eating. Starting from ground zero, I have been focused on and slightly overwhelmed just deciding what gear I want.
I love the information I get here and enjoy just reading the stories. I suppose I tend to think of this forum as just about hiking and camping, being outdoors, and forget that you are truly dedicated to traveling light. I certainly mean no disrespect and I apologize if I have come across that way.
Once I have gained enough experience doing things my way, I imagine the food situation will take care of itself. I have the feeling I will be living on a steady diet of crow.
Thanks for your help and I will try to be more thoughtful in any future posts.
