[pct-l] New item of equipment.

[Ronald Moak <ronm@fallingwater.com>]

I made a new piece of equipment last night. (God in need to get hiking.)
It's a pot cozy. It's made from an emergency space blanket, Thinsulate and
1.1 oz silicon coated nylon.

When I cook, the stuff that needs to be re-hydrated goes into the pot. The
rest stays in a freezer Ziploc bag. When the water boils, I pour everything
from the pot into the Ziploc bag to finish cooking. The bag is placed in the
cozy until I'm ready to eat. 

This way the pot stays pretty clean and I just bury the Ziploc bag under
some tree when I'm finished eating. Just kidding folks, I pack it out!.

Anyway the combo works pretty good and the cozy weights in at a whopping
ounce. It doubles as the pot/stove stuff sack when not keeping my food warm.
