Seriously guys, has it ever occurred to you, that in the days long gone by,
bushwalkers of all persuasions actually cooked their meat,(snags,chops, steak)
before leaving home ?

Worse, would you believe, none of them ever got ill either ?

Actually, I have to confess to carrying around a knob of salami for 8 days on
several occasions and lived to tell about it.

And frying pans..... OK I confess, been there done that,(still doing it too) and
readily admit there's nothing better then a sausage and egg for breakfast cooked
over an open fire at your leisure.

Last but not the least, what about the sweats set up after the main meal of an
evening, how often has a fellow walker surprised everyone with the concoction
they've managed to put together ?

Methinks people are losing the objective of going bushwalking and overnight
camping if such small pleasures are being denied.

C'mon people, bush walking is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, most of us
derive much pleasure from this and not all of us bust our gut to go as far as
possible as quick and light as one can, some of us actually like to smell the
roses so to speak as we walk along, we even enjoy the whole process of just
setting up camp and socialising around said camp with our companions.

For what it's worth, my humble view on the issue.
Eddy.
