Food
We are each responsible for our own breakfast, lunch, and trail snacks.
{My staples will include a french press mug for fresh coffee; cinnamon/nuts/oatmeal sealed, cooked, and served in individual seal-a-meal bags; instant soup/cheese/crackers for lunch; dried fruit and energy bars for the trail.}
I see us using 2-3 stoves to boil enough water for all our needs. We'll need only a few pots and pans.
For our dinners together, Graham has point ( with my lapdog assistance) to outline proposed dinner menus. Graham will have more to say about this. The intention is to package up meals that could be easily prepared with minimum of cleanup. These are mostly dried or dehydrated ingredients, augmented with some fresh and some spices. Prep should mostly involve heating food packages in boiling water or stirring boiled water into bags of ingredients.
Please respond to this post sharing any dinner desires as well as diet limitations.
Water
Parks Service recommends that we treat all drinking water.
1) Bob has volunteered his new water treatment gizmo that looks like a ball point pen. It can treat a liter at a time in about a minute. Good for about 500 liters before re-charging.
2) Supplement that with standard iodine tablets.
3) If necessary, we could boil additional water at dinnertime.
Food prep and cleanup duty will rotate among teams. Each evening, 2 men will be responsible for setting up cook area, preparing and serving dinner. 2 different men will be responsible for cleanup and hanging food/etc. on bear line, as well as retrieving it from the bear line the following morning.
