    What could you give up

    I could, would give up my ice cream to save room. And most of my other junk foods. I would keep the hard candy tho, it's small and gives you a little sweetness when needed. And If needed, I may even give up my Mt Dew...lol

    Mountain House Meals

    I always keep several different Mountain House meals around for camping. They are very simple to prepare and have great taste too. Even my kids have like them, so they must be good. lol. Lightweight to carry is a plus, and virtually no clean up is also.

    On the fence - push me over: buy or build a skottle?

    For what they cost to buy, build one for 1/10 the cost. And you can build it bigger or smaller as you desire.

    cleaning cooking wear during and after a trip

    Bio safe soap for washing, for cleaning my cast iron I use hot water and a piece of chainmail I found on amazon. It works great at getting the stuck foods out and is what they recommend for cast iron.

    Scottles Worth the Price?

    yeah, no.....will never pay that kind of price for a disc with a tiny burner that I can make for 1/10 that price. That goes for a lot of the other gear people buy for camping/overlanding too. RTT....hahahah, NO!!! Most of what I am seeing on the youtube videos and elsewhere is known as...

    Water Storage

    4" or 6" pvc, cap the one end, cap the other with removable end. Install a valestem into it, paint it black, also, install a hose shutoff on it so you can have heated pressurized water that can be used like a shower if needed. If I can find the photos I will add them here.

    KISS

    As I do prefer to KISS when traveling and camping, I do enjoy a nice meal from time to time. When packing I try to repack things to fit better into my cooler so most store packaging is left at home in the trash.

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    Paper plates and bowls usually, but I do have the Stanley nesting cook/camp set also. If I take the camper, I use the speckled enamel dishware.

    Let's Talk Cast Iron

    I have and use a wide variety of my cast iron when I go out camping, and at home too. It is one of the easiest to clean and maintain, altho it does tend to be very heavy.

    Grilling Options

    I use a propane grill, a charcoal grill, real fire....all depends on where I am and how much time I have. I will say I do prefer the real fire grilling and cooking best...just better taste all around.

    Coffee Set Ups

    Usually my coffee is green and cold in the form of Mt Dew...lol. But when camping I do enjoy a nice warm cup of coffee in the mornings and I make it old world style....percolator over a fire.

    What is the one spice

    Take your pick....other than salt and pepper I probably use seasoned salt the most. But I use just about everything in my cupboard often.

    Military Decal?

    OMG, yes....I can't stand hearing that crap. I almost stopped wearing anything that would give away I was military just so I wouldn't have to hear it. That is one thing that certainly needs to fade away, but like you said it is far better than what was happening in the past.
