So, I don't bother with cooking or hot anything unless it's really cold out. It just means more to carry. IF I do heat anything, it's in single servings and the smallest package I can get away with. I'll usually snack and graze all day and lots of good things to eat have already been mentioned.


Grazing is how I get my calories on some fairly long/strenuous dayhikes as well. I was just curious if it was also common for overnighters or longer backpacking adventures?

I asked about the thermoses because there are some very light ones out there and because I'm curious how daily coffee/tea/soda/etc. drinkers avoid beginning the withdrawal process out on the route if they don't take a stove and the rest of the gear?
