Love reading this chain...kinda of a checks and balances to what I've got going. I'm on a year-long camping and hiking adventure around the country. I feel like I change my set-up at every stop. But as a novice, I'm sure I'll create a system eventually. Kitchen: Box for dry food, box for utensils and cooking tools, jug for water (and some other storage options if I'm away from clean water sources for long), I have a Coleman stove and jet boil.
