The thread on cold meals becomes very timely!

Now there's real incentive to lighten up even more! I wonder how creative people will get in trying to heat up water without a stove. You don't necessarily have to have really cold meals. Will we start seeing black water bottles or solar ovens on the trail?

Sheesh, it's so hot and dry out there this year, it's not a real pleasant place to be in the first place mid-summer.

On the other hand, it's just about hot enough to just go ahead and heat your meals up by laying them out right on the rocks!
