Thanks everyone for all the information I never realized that there was so many different types of stoves on the market.

Earthling,
I am from the Northeast and it is a little crazy not to think of cooking on open coals, of coarse a burn ban would put a stop to it, but I am planning my trips in the early spring.

Breakfast would be warmed on some type of stove that I decide to buy, along with instant coffee
Lunch trail mix or protein bars
few snacks to keep the energy up through out the day

night meal
Fresh trout seasoned up stuffed with wild garlic, "ramps or up in PA called leaks". over a camp fire while sipping on some peach shine.... man, can't wait.

Just need to get the gear purchased, I was bidding on a pack, but got out bidded today that really sucks.
