Many hikers say go stoveless, but I always bring my stove.

Cooking a real dinner improves the whole backpacking experience.

But it's just rehydrated chili... feels like the ritual matters more than the hot food itself.

Packing my little stove into the Wind River Range last summer was the best choice. After a brutal 12-mile day, a hot meal of rehydrated chili really fixed my mood and warmed me up from the inside. That evening ritual with a cup of tea beats a cold soak dinner every time. What's your go-to hot meal out there?

Oh wow, my friend got soaked on a hike and said his hot cocoa saved the day. Your chili ritual, @markb39, sounds like the same kind of trail magic.

Nothing says 'I survived' like rehydrated chili, right?
