I'm totally with you on the poptart thing, but I know last time I bothered to weigh it, I think
a pair of poptarts came out significantly heavier than my little baggies of dehydrated omlette and mashed taters I like. I think they were perhaps slightly heavier than oatmeal.
I don't remember the details - I should try the experiment again (or perhaps someone with
a currently working postal scale can). or perhaps my memory is decieving me..

I mean, I'm talking really where's the beef - I know the shakes I have here are heavier than
a dehydrated meal - maybe yours aren't - so if you really take the pot/stove to the minimum
(a small alky or esbit and a beer can pot) - are you ahead of the game or not? Someone here
must have numbers... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I know last time I looked I decided I'd chuck out my hammock and tarp everywhere before chucking my alky and pot - but that was a comfort decision or basically a "ounces per unit comfort" decision on my part. I might like to reexamine this objectively (because I agree with you, I'd be fine with poptarts and cold stuff in the morning)
