    I used to Bowhunt elk on 4 day back pack trips without a stove or cook pan. I'd dump cold water in the mountain house and let it sit for 20 minutes minimum. Sometimes it was a bit crunchy but tasted good. Any more I take my pocket rocket and titanium pan and enjoy a hot meal. NO stove and pot cuts a pound plus from your gear, depending on the fuel canister, stove, pan etc

    I dont think I could give up a hot coffee in the morning and a warm meal at night. Id keep the cook kit and drop weight elsewhere. My opinion.

    I find the size and weight of my stove (Jet Boil) is well worth bringing for a few creature comforts.

    A hot tea & whisky after a day spent in the rain and cold wind is worth packing the stove and fuel for.

    I could go with all dry food and never complain but you gotta have a warmer-upper every now and then.

    No hot coffee in the morning??? I'd sooner leave my rifle and bullets at home before I left a stove and pot for coffee!
