[pct-l] trail cooking

[dicentra]

You have several options for a "cozy". You can buy one (custom made even!) from 
Trail Cooking.com (this is what I use. I have several - reusable and washable), 
you can use some sort of padded envelope, wool and/or fleece hats work well too. 
I've also seen them made out of those thin blue sleeping mats.

As for eating out of the bags... Roll or cut down the tops to make getting to 
the food easier. You can put the bag in your pot for stablility. I tend to eat 
my freezer bag foods, but setting the cozy on my lap and then the warm bag on 
top of that. Hold the bag steady with my left hand, eat with my right.

Hope that helps!

I climbed Viejas peak today, and while on top of the mountain, decided to
try out Freezer bag cooking..I'm relatively new to long distance hiking so I
am spending a lot of time learning to live the life of a hiker...Anyone have
any suggestions as to what I should use for a cozy? What about eating out of
those freezer bags, they have no rigidity what-so-ever..Any suggestions? I
spend a ton of time experimenting, (have nothing but time on my hands...with
income, so it works out..)  Any suggestions will be happily accepted and
tested as I am not the type to wait until I'm actually on my way to canada
to discover an issue with a piece of my gear...

thanks all
