The steel cut oatmeal will stay with you longer than the instant.Takes a few more minutes to make,but well worth it.
Yeah, like about 5x longer. With instant, I'm hungry before the dishes are washed.
We do too. But then we dont' wash dishes until back to the house in AK. Might be 10 days or so. LOL. Never had 2 packs of oatmeal, instant not be enough for the intial go. But then to be fair, and that needs to be clear here... we eat differently.
We don't load up on fuel unless we have a need. We eat some, snack a lot and then if we have a climb or a pack out or such, we'll add as needed.
Adding olive oil to the MH works well also IMHO, we do that if we are going to be straining after the meal. LOL
OTOH I took a whole medium size moose, 1200 is pounds they guessed, from standing to pieces and back home at 4am, all by myself in 2014, and I never ate anything but constant snacking as I went along. Fuel it as you need it. It was the only way we could do duathlons and triathlons(wife) over the years. Eat some big bowl of steel oats and the race won't go well for us... LOL.
