[pct-l] no cook trail food

[Tortoise]

OK, Now, we need to get scientific about this.

Someone ake a couple of containers, one covered with black tape and the 
other clear. Fill with water and place in the sun and see which gets 
warmer after say an hour or two.
 Try covered with black netting like the pack pocket.
Also my opinion is that if carried inside the pack there would be little 
difference since all heat would come form conduction from the rest of 
the pack contents.
