Omelet in a bag is a great breakfast.

I'll second that. Thanks for bringing extras Al.

What kind of bags do you use (that don't leak like ours did last year on the Rubicon)? lol

I have one of those nifty vacuum sealers...and the bags are meant to be frozen and boiled.

I use the heavy duty freezer type zip locks. I have never had a problem with them.

I would like to say YES, but doesn't look like this year. I'm out of vaction, school takes up alot of my time. I just wanted to get a list so I can buy the things I dont have.(one piece at a time and it didn't cost me a dime) old Johnny Cash song. Put them on the shelf for when I needed them. Maybe make some test runs overniters. So next year I can maybe make some of the runs with the MJR's crew like the Moab/ Rubicon, maybe some trails in Colorado or the Great State of Wyoming.

Meals can also be pre made. Put them in a ziplock bag and then use boiling water to heat it up. Omelet in a bag is a great breakfast.

For food, I prefer things that are pre-prepared at home, or can be quickly assembled on the trail. Fried chicken, potatoe salad, dry salami/cheese/crackers, fruit, etc., I don't really like cooking on the trail, just because of the clean up involved. It is just too messy unless I am planning on spending alot of time at camp each day. In that case, I will go as far as heating up a can of soup for dinner, or cooking a couple of eggs in the morning.

When we usually stop for lunch on a trail, it takes me about 10 minutes from the time I pull the cooler out until I put it back. I have been on many trips where I am done eating, and have everything packed up before the rest of the group gets all their stuff out!

as for food, sandwiches are the easiest for lunch, along with crackers and other snacks. bugers & dogs are easy for dinner, it just depends on how involved you'd like to get. for the sand dunes we take a full size grill and cook filets!

The Missus and I carry a "Fat Fifty" ammo can and WAG Bags for our solid waste. The enzymes in the WAG bag make it EPA-legal to toss in the regular garbage.
HTH.

:confused: What is a WAG bag? where can we get them at? :confused:

TP aka Mountain Gold is important. As is all hygiene equipment. The Missus and I carry a "Fat Fifty" ammo can and WAG Bags for our solid waste. The enzymes in the WAG bag make it EPA-legal to toss in the regular garbage. Else you'd have to fish it all out and put in a toilet. Course you may be able to get away with burying your waste if the soil conditions permit fast decomposition. Desert/rocky environs usually don't.

If you bury, make it at least 8" deep and always pack your TP out. Burning is a bad idea, trust me, unless you like the idea of chasing after a piece of stinky ember to stamp it out.

Other hygiene stuff:
*Garbage bags (get the contractor bags, much thicker)
*Bring a packet of baby wipes. They are much easier to use than soap and water. Alcohol-based handgel usually just makes for muddy (and later on, chapped) hands.
*sunscreen
*bath-in-a-bag (sponge bath in a pre wetted package, used in hospitals, sponge on and wipe off, no soap or additional water required)

HTH.

Excellent List Chris!

You forgot the MOST important item ...Toilet Paper

Also, dont forget a first aid kit of some sort.
