Being a gearhead, I've got a couple different setups for baking in the backcountry. Before you dismiss this as too heavy or too much effort, think about it. Carrying powder baking mixes actually make sense in terms of calories per ounce per cubic inch. The powders pack into a bear canister very efficiently. So if canister space is a premium, or if you have kids or a group to please, baking can be both practical and a huge moral booster. If you can't sing and don't want to pack a guitar, baking might be the next best thing.

Here's a new setup I've never seen before based on an Esbit stove.

I haven't dropped by for a while. That's my article in the above link about an Ultralight ESBIT Baking System. Thanks for the post. smile

It actually works very well. This is some corn bread I baked a few weeks ago near section "C" of the PCT (Whitewater Preserve area):




If anyone is by Greenstone Lake (above Saddlebag Lake) this coming Saturday, drop by for a free demo. smile
