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.
a stove or fire will provide "comfort" drinks and meals, well worth there weight in gold!!

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!
