stove all the time.  I don't cook, just boil water

total weight for 12 day solo tirp = 35 ounces  add to that 2 or 3 ounces for my bowl, cup and spoon, and that's all I need.
goes up to about 50 ounces for two people
have never gone to Quetico with a group larger than 4 people - still use a stove for that if it happens.

no fuss, no muss;  no need for heavy duty saw and maybe axe for splitting wood.  I've done trips where it rained 10 out of 12 days - that makes it a fair bit harder to gather dry wood unless its split sawn logs.

Travel every day but one (or maybe 2 layover days) on a 12 day trip, so I want to be able to hit camp, set up the tent, and be eating as quickly as possible, especially if I don't get there till 7 - likewise in the morning, I want to be up and moving as soon as I can to beat the wind.  I may build a fire most nights, or not, if its not too much trouble - but if wood is scarce, or its raining, or I just don't feel like it, then no fire.  Aside from not wanting to cook over a fire, I don't have the equipment for it - except cooking fish on a stick.
