>>2396990Hey friend, I'm lentil-anon.
You mentioned fire - completely get that, but have you considered little camp twig stoves?
Twig stoves are specially made for quick fires with only tinder/tinder-like material as fuel.
Soak the beans while hiking (2 servings a day in a canteen or small bottle) and then cook them for only 50 minute - 1 hour.
If you soak them long enough, they will get tender very quickly.
Lentils cook quickly too, so no problem there.
All-in-all, meal preparation will only take about 3 hours a day, this is the routine after waking up first night of camping:
>beans been soaking overnight>fire up twig stove>put daily ration of beans to cook>put daily ration of rice on boil>cook for 1 hour>spice and drain, put 3/4 in sealable container for reheating late>have breakfast, a banana, and an appleThen just eat the beans+rice+spice mixture / trail mix throughout the day.
Pic related is twig stove - if you're gonna be having rice and won't want to wait twice as long (reusing container), gotta get two, or a slightly bigger one.
