I have a couple methods. First, I carry a plastic 1L soda bottle in addition to my water bladder. If I need 2 Cups of water, then I know that that is APPROXIMATELY 1/2 Liter and I'll pour half of the plastic 1L bottle into my cook pot..
<br><br>The other method I use is by "eyeballing it" how much water I need to cook a lipton noodle dinner in my cook pot. If you practice measuring a given amount of water into your cook pot at home, you'll easily remember the water level in your cook pot when you're out in the field. After a few days of doing this in the field, you'll know the proper water level in your cook pot.
<br><br>Most of the things you're cooking will be just fine with a little extra or little less water. Yes, sometimes I ended up with noodle soup and other times my noodles were crunchy, but I lived to tell the tale. :)

<br>I have a titanium pot and cup, and when I need to re-hydrate a meal, the directions<br>say add a cup of water, or a cup and a half etc. I tried to mark my cup with a<br>felt tip marker at home before I go out, but the mark doesn't last but a couple of
<br>days before it fades away. I know there is a good trick out there for measuring<br>on the trail, but I never heard anyone mention it. I know no one carries a measuring<br>cup with them, so what's the trick? How do you measure liquids on the trail?
