I wonder if a flatter titanium pot design would be better for just heating  
water.  I use a Titan pot for heating up some water in the evening for  pouch 
cooking of MaryJane or Enertia Trail Foods dinners.  I think  there is enough 
variety that you could easily do a thru hiker with the  supplement foods from 
trailtowns and resupply boxes.  
 
A nice hot meal in the evening with  some good breads/spreads sounds very 
nice to me.  Then a Jiffy Pop  chaser.  I think the key on a long hike is tasty 
nutritious  variety.  I know I would need a 7-day rotation in meals, so I would 
not get  tired of dinner meal types.  If I had a nice soft shelter set up 
with  good meals, I would be a very happy camper at the end of the hiking  day.
