I am horrible about this. If I have a main base camp I usually have a jet boil to have Mt House in the evenings, but if I am spike camped I usually just live off of snacks and prepackaged junk. I probably shouldn't, but I can't stand to do anything besides open a package and eat it. That is not to mention that by the time I get back to camp I am also usually way too tired to boil water and let a Mt House sit for 10 minutes. I'd be snoozing before it is ready.
I live off of cliff bars, trail mix, single serving fig newtons, etc. and for mornings a bigger bag of cereal. I don't bring any silverware. I just shove handfuls in my mouth and chug water. I can't stand to bring bowls, spoons, etc. It is just more stuff to pack in and out, or burn. I usually don't build fires either, unless I kill a grouse to cook or want to sear a tenderloin. The last thing I want to do at camp is gather wood and tend a fire. I just want to sleep.
I really should get better about backcountry chow but old habits die hard.
