I like to eat...I like to cook. Whether at home, or in the woods. I am constantly racking my brain trying to make my cook gear and food more compact, without sacrificing taste or variety.
I love my Zebra pots, I love my cast iron...so how does it call come together? And how do you keep it small? I'm still working on the pot/pan side of things...I have a few pieces on the way that may make the perfect cook kit....at least for me...but for the time being, this is in my pack.
These are all waxed canvas bags from Frost River...lunch bag, medium and small accessory bags...all lumped together as if I had it packed. 11" long, 6" wide, and about 5" tall...not too much volume in any pack.
Here you get a better idea of the individual bags.
And here is everything included. This is more than enough food for me for 2 days..especially if you put a few fish, birds, squirrels or rabits in the mix. We'll start top left, then work right...and down.
Medium accessory bag holds:
Full box of Jiffy biscuit mix
Bannock that will fill a 14 cm Zebra pot pan..in the 10cm, makes 2 nice sized loafs.
Full bag of Knor rice or noodles
Bag of trail mix
Several pieces of venison jerky
Nip of rum for the bannock, or a night cap!
small wisk
small spatula
still room for some cheese, or even a hard boiled egg
Small accessory bag:
Various teas, a few instant coffees, and some electrolyte drink mix
About 8-10 oz of fresh Hazelnut coffee grounds
GSI collapsible filter/drip unit (thanks Croatoan for the link) and #4 filters.
Lunch bag: (an of course once at camp this bag can be used as a great foraging bag)
Kupilka platter and utensils
4" non-stick frying pan
1 egg non stick pan
(with removable handles that nest together....developed this)

And soon after taking this picture, a package from JAS Townsend arrived....which carried a very small spice kit that will fit in the small accessory bag as well.
With the spice kit came a few more I plan on giving away, as well as a few leather pouches a guide on making moccasins, and a very cool canvas water carrier that I can't wait to try out.
So there you have an array of food, and all of it takes up a minimal amount of space.
Thanks for looking.
