Bill said, "He did bring oatmeal and dried fruit for breakfast though. I've seen him carry a skillet, bacon, eggs, and potatoes for breakfast before, so this was a huge improvement."

I fail to see how oatmeal and dried fruit is any improvement over bacon and eggs...

I'll bet I could bring my titanium skillet and have bacon and eggs (I might let you taste them) and hashbrowns and cook a steak for dinner and still have a lighter pack than yours. Oh and I'd bring a real stove to cook that stuff on and drink a pot of coffee per day. Do you have to eat the cat food beore you can use the stove???
