I love beans. Black beans, pinto beans, chili beans, red beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, baked beans... I love them all. (Not peas, for some reason... just beans.)

I eat a lot of beans, with rice, because they are cheap and filling.

I have rice in the backcountry figured out. Now I need to figure out how to do beans.

I'm not sure how to do dried beans. At home, they take several hours of soaking followed by several hours of cooking. The alternative that I'm familiar with is canned, which isn't as tasty as scratch-made, but is easier. It's also darn heavy to tote a can of beans up and down hills, and there is still a can to tote out when I'm done eating. So that's a no-go.

So then. How do I do beans in the backcountry cheaply and easily?
