[pct-l] Food Rehydration Strategy

[Paul Robison]

there's going to be 100 opinions/plans,  here's mine.

i sleep in a tent,  so i keep my food in my tent.  my tent is large enough for 
my pack, which makes a great elevated foot rest.

as for dishware,  yes these are a pain in the ass, but they're lightweight and 
everywhere... i use Ziploc  freezer bags,

make sure they are freezer, not storage if you plan to cook in them.   freezer 
bags are boil safe.  storage are not.

in the sections where i have my stove my added dishware is half of a dixie cup, 
cut down to hold 8 ounces... just for measuring water to boil,  which then go 
in... you guess it... ziploc bags.

hope this helps,

~Outpost.

Subject: [pct-l] Food Rehydration Strategy

For those of you who do decide to go stoveless/cookless, but choose to rehydrate 
food that ordinarily would be cooked, what kinds of dishware/rehydration 
containers do you use?

Also, in regions where bears are not a concern so much as rodends, does 
everybody use opsaks/ursaks? If so, how many are needed for 4 - 5 days worth of 
food. Where are they placed at night relative to your tent/tarp? I have always 
hung my pack, but that does not appear to be the favored method for even 
rodents, so I am trying to learn some things!
Thanks!

Ethan
