>>2454246>You carry raw potatoes. You don’t understand weight savings.I carry fiber so I don't end up with an impacted colon or nuke my microbiome from days without proper fiber sources. At any rate, it's an optional component, and not one I bring on more grueling treks or when fires aren't allowed.
>It’s much, much faster than collecting firewood and building a fire. Go camping, don't have a fire. Pat self on back for not burning the poor little dead twigs. Smile smugly in pitch blackness. "Yes, this is living"
>>2454266>MORALE BOOSTSNothing like dehydrated gruel, right?
A pot of rice really boosts morale...
Hot oats are your morale booster...
>hot meatImpossible without a cook set...
I have found that camping meals are not worth the bother. They taste like shit in the best circumstances. Maybe I just have higher non-camping food standards than the processed bigmac basedcornglop crowd here, but at no point have I eaten a "mood booster" while camping and thought it was much better than a tortilla filled with wax-shell cheese and summer sausage.
If you get that sad, almost every major thru-hike will have civilized rest stops along the way where you can get ice cream and a steak (and a room/shower/laundry), something you'd know if you weren't a "larper". Eating hot mac n cheese for the 50th time isn't going to do much for your mood by comparison.
