    Instead of a cozy, I use an insulated kid's small softside lunch container. Got it for under $5 at Wally world. It has great insulation and velcro that pulls over the top and a carry strap. Sometimes I put a few small hot rocks inside a hotpad I opened up and slide that in next to the meal for a little extra heat. The plastic bag is protected with the hot pad, but a lot of heat still comes through.

    My freezer Bag Meals:
    Spanish Rice and Beans - Split Knorr Spanish Rice into 2 pint freezer bags. Try to evenly split the seasoning between each bag. Add 1/2 cup dehydrated refried beans. You can add some cayenne and some additional taco seasoning. On trail, add 1 cup of boiling water and let sit 12 minutes. Optional, add some cheese and Fritos.
    Prison Burrito - Crumble 2 snack packs of Nacho Doritos and put in pint freezer bag. Break apart Chili flavored Ramen into tiny pieces and add to bag with seasoning packet. On trail, add 1 cup boiling water and let sit ten minutes.
    Prison Burrito 2 - Add 1/2 cup dehydrated beans to pint freezer bag. Break apart Chili flavored Ramen into tiny pieces and add to bag with seasoning packet. On trail, add 1 cup boiling water and let sit ten minutes.
    Mash Potatoes - Put 1/2 cup instant mash potatoes into a pint freezer bag along with one spoon of butter crystals. You get butter crystals in the popcorn section. On trail, add 1 cup boiling water and let sit five minutes. I like the mash potatoes for breakfast. Optional, you can add pancake syrup on top and it taste like potato pancakes.
    Cereal - Put 1 cup of Raisin Bran, plus 1/3 cup Nido, plus 2 spoons sugar into a pint freezer bag. On trail, I add just enough water to reach top of cereal and shake bag. Instant cereal with milk. I get seven breakfast from one box of Raisin Bran.
    Minute Rice and Gravy - Put 3/4 cup Minute Rice and 1/4 cup gravy mix in pint freezer bag. I use Pioneer Country Gravy mix. On trail, add 1 cup boiling water and let sit ten minutes.
    Country Gravy - Put 1/2 cup Pioneer Country Gravy mix into pint freezer bag. On trail, add 1 cup boiling water and stir constantly for a minute. I roll up tortillas and dip into the gravy to eat. You could crumble English Muffins into the bag for simulated biscuits and gravy.
    Jello Pudding - Put 1 packet of chocolate pudding mix into a pint freezer bag. On trail, add 1 & 1/2 cup cold water and stir until no lumps. Let sit 15 minutes. Better in colder weather.

    I've made my own cozzies for the Mountain House meals and the like. I just cut the top off the meal bag, add the hot water, roll the top up on the bag and stick into the cozzy pouch. No need for Zip Lock bags or other gear. No dishes to wash, just pack out the envelope the meal came in and Bobs your Uncle!

    Great explanation of your transition from beginner to novice, it really helps folks understand the FBC method better. I use a pot cozy. Water is boiled, ziploc of food is placed in pot cozy, water is added... time to eat!
    The pot cozy really doesn't take up much room.

    • @joapps8135
      @joapps8135 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SQWIB hi. sorry to be a party pooper, but the ziploc's polyethylene plastic starts softening around 195F (mainly depending on elevation) and boiling water is around 212F. the diff btwn a freezer bag and a regular ziploc is a better seal and thicker plastic BUT softening point is the same...remember, it's a freezer bag, not an "oven bag". if you are ok with potential chemical leakage in your food, then i will shut up :) stay healthy!
      btw, i stay away from ramen and knorr bcuz of the MSG or MSG-like additives which is unhealthy ...and ramen noodles were fried before drying, also unhealthy :(

      It saves you time & hassle in cleanup. No more having to carry soap and wasting time, energy & water trying to clean your cookware on the trail, just squeeze the air out, seal them up and stick them in your trash bag/pouch. There's also no chance of flavors being left and transferring to other meals/soups/drinks when all you do is boil water in them
