M_M,
Some of the river trips, arctic, we don't portage much and the cook kit gets pretty elaborate. Plus it's a traditional thing with some people. It could work OK in the Q too, for a larger group that wasn't moving too much. Smaller or faster moving group, not a great idea.


One guide who does some cabinet wood working. Just put everything in his cook kit on a table, pushed it together, and measured the pile. That was his dimensions.
