Just an idea for making a meal more efficiently in the field.[ 1 meal, 1 drink, 1 fuel tab, & no cleanup.
When I was doing multistate motorcycle roadtrips on my KLR650, I had a set of tank bags, each holding a GI canteen, cup&stove set. I'd have my Mountain House meal hydrated, heated and half eaten by the time my riding buddy could get his cranky Whisperlite backpacker stove finally going. Gotta love the GI gear. It works!
