Other Tips:

• Packets of condiments:

Carry mayo, mustard, relish, hot sauce, parmesan cheese, hot peppers, etc. in plastic containers like the  small packets at Costco.

• Freezer bags:
• Instead of carrying ingredients in their original containers pre-mix ingredients & carry them in zip-lock freezer bags.
  This cuts down on weight; trash & the bags have other uses such as trash.
• Always boil any naturally drawn water before drinking or adding food to.
• Have water purification tablets or filter system
• Always pack an extra meal or two just in case.
• Always carry enough fuel for the number of days stayed and planned hot menus.
• Cover pot when cooking to save fuel.
• Eat fresh or fatty food first so it doesn't spoil.
• Eat heavy foods first to lighten the load.
• Try to avoid really spicy foods.
• To keep critters out of camp keep food stored away & pick up spills. Never sleep with food (or other attractive items like toothpaste, gum, etc.) in your tent - hang it in a bag from a high tree limb.
