I've been running backcountry pack trips on horseback for years,so the "back country" part is old, It's the "hiking" instead of riding that's new...lol.I usually cook by campfire,or the coleman stove I pack in on horse.The only thing I boil water for is coffee/tea/vegetables.I'm trying to find a light weight stove I can actually cook with,we don't use dehydrated meals.I will when I'm on my own on longer trips, but my family is used to mom cooking up steak and garlic shrimp out in the bush...lol.I'll check out the cannisters and see what I can come up with.
