My experience is that a significant number of people who "just know" that they wouldn't like eating only cold meals are in fact fine with them if they give that approach a fair shot and learn from the experiences of others what things to pack & eat.


I have to admit I'm on the doubter side of that line still.

I need hot coffee and a hot dinner. I can skip breakfast and munch on trail food all day while hiking but I can't think it'd be fun to go to bed on a cold meal. Most of my backpacking is done in the cooler months, so that has something to do with it, but I know you've done this in the cold too. That sounds tough.

That must be one of the leaps you have to be able to make to be a thru-hiker. After a week or two I'm afraid I'd be getting a bit wild eyed. Maybe not though. I don't eat a lot as it is, so I might do better than I'd imagine.
