Hey, Gang-

Some of us are missing Jack L's intent. He wants to enjoy fresh butter (to eat) and fresh buttermilk (for cooking) on the trail. Maybe he also wants the novelty of the back-to-basics aspect of making his own food from scratch, like pioneers of yore. If you saw what he posted about his cooking gear, you will see that he is not going for SUL backpacking. I figured out how I could steam-bake muffins and the like in my tiny Vienna sausage can pot 15-20 years ago. I also decided that it wasn't worth the time and fuel for my hikes of 3-4 days between resupplies. I can get fresh stuff near trail heads and pretty much stick to eating my precooked and dehydrated meals from little bags. That works for me. Jack L is sharing what is working for him.

Let him hike his own hike.
