"Dont spend time boiling the billy for morning tea"
maaaaaaaaaaate!!! I know a few people do the thermos thing but I like having a quick yarn with 'ol Bill as part of the spell. :)
ditto vacuum sealed meat and tinned goods. lots of tinned stuff has its own liquid/water inside so saves you using other water. Just remember to write on the tops of the tins what is inside as the labels can go walkabout on extended trips.
working out a rough meal plan before the trip helps you estimate quantities required, including emergency/contingency stocks. But that is all I use the plan for, I
cook what I feel like cooking come the time.
long life milks in the small containers mean you can usually do breakfast and a cuppa (if you take it white) and then squash the carton and put it in your rubbish bag. No need to use a fridge for leftover milk this way.
we also keep a box of veges in the dark, cool depths and depending on what reqions you cover, fruit is in the icebox.
take some flour etc and knock up your own slices/cakes/damper/bread etc along the way if you have the time.
