Thanks for everyone's input.  A bit of why I asked..... I normally travel with a group of 3 friends.  We pack somewhat heavy and are typically slow to break camp and get moving, but we always eat well.  I was given a gift of a basic Jetboil system and wrote it off as useless gear that you cannot cook with.  In reality it works extremely well for cranking out coffee for 4 guys.  Very fast to boil but empties fuel cells quickly and even worse in a stiff wind. This Fall I am taking a solo trip and will attempt to pack as light as possible on gear, food and fuel and try to cover as much water as possible.  Something I have never done before and doubt I will be any good at.  I dislike the steel fuel cells due to weight and being nearly un-crushable, so a stove that is stingy on fuel and suffering some freeze dried and no-cook food would help.  Any suggestions for brands of palatable freeze dried or other light, quick fixed food would also be appreciated.

Regards,
