*************
Important: before you go, choose something to eat at the end of your hike that you really, really fancy. We imagined us in the restaurant where they served giant burgers and a good local beer. If you have a bad day think of that treat 
The filled fuel bottle was enough to cook a week long twice a day and to help out some backpackers who’s stove broke in the morning.
Tip:
Take every opportunity to fill up your fuel bottle or your provision, you never know why you could need it! Maybe you feel so good at the end your hike that you want to extend your journey or another hiker needs your help.
Enjoy your meals!
As we travel on we will experiment with some more delicious food variations.
