[pct-l] Going stoveless--coffee

[River Malcolm]

Hey Minda,

I love what you said about missing making things sweeter. How I LOVE my hot meals at town stops. I think that is one of the great and for me surprising joys of hiking -- how I fall in love not only with wilderness, but also with civilization. Thanks for writing.

> Hiya! I'm mostly a lurker reading all the haps- but I couldn't resist chiming in on a coffee convo! I'm going stoveless yet I am for sure someone who relishes a good hot cup of coffee. I figured I would start off cold as planned. And then later on if I'm really missing it- go pick up a jetboil. But I've noticed that I'm pretty adaptable to whatever is available. - also I like wanting and missing things. Lol. It makes having them later all the sweeter! Have a great day everyone! Minda
