What do you cook in?
I am thinking about taking cast iron to the woods.  It has good even heat transfer, even when the heat source is not even.  But it the weight bothers me.

Is there something lighter and good?

While we are on the subject, is the search function broke or is it just me?

If you know of any good thread titles or I would apreciate the info.  I have been doing a lot of reading here, but have not stumbled on the right thread (yet).

dunnd1,

when doing a search, you need to make several changes to the default settings.  change to  "Search any poster;
boards to search - I use "check all";   max age since last post is set to 7 days - I just add two zeros for 700.

  also, you can change to "Match any words" instead of "Match all words" for a more general search

that should help.

IMO, it's worth it's weight in gold.  It's the only way I can get in my daily quota of 4 Walleye fillets/day....they have to be cooked just right.  Cast aluminum would be ok too.....but accept nothing less dunnd1.

I usually can usualy arrange to have the gear pack in the other canoe.....you know what that means!  Just tell your traveling buddies that their canoe isn't trimmed right.  They'll spend half a day moving packs around....Keep telling them it's not quite right.  Make sure you beat 'em to every portage.  Finally suggest they try the gear pack...."Ohh and Ahh" over how beautifuly the boat is now trimmed.  Let them now beat you to the portages....pay alot of compliments on the speed and lines of their boat and they'll willingly carry that gear pack....just to "get the trim right".

Wanna lose some real weight?.....get the coffee drinkers to carry their own mud and coffee makers/perkolators/presses.

I'm guessing you are a fisherman and want to fry fish, correct?  If not, I wouldn't take a cast iron pan at all.  I take a simple teflon coated fry pan for bacon, eggs, pancakes, biscuits, etc.

I do fish but primarily for meals and not for recreation.  A teflon pan is fine for simple pan frying.  However, mostly I cook fish in foil.  I may also poach them.
