[pct-l] Cookless meals in Section A

[jason moores]

I disagree that hiking without a stove reduces your options, quite the opposite. I would argue that there are only a few items that can be cooked efficiently on the trail. Items requiring less than a ten minute cook time. There is a reason that you see most hikers eating Lipton and Ramen day after day.

There is a trade off though, the weight of water. You loose the weight of the stove and fuel only to regain the weight in the moisture content of non dehydrated foods.
