    Won't have to worry about lack of water anyway. :)

    If it's going to be miserable, I'll change destinations.

    I have an MSR titanium 850 ml pot with lid. That and a titanium spoon and some freezer bags are my entire cooking kit. Works out well for me. Your results may vary, as always. :)

    I use 25% DEET Off! wipes. Although I'm running low on them and I haven't been able to find them in stores the past couple months for some reason. Hope they haven't been discontinued.
