Common Backpacking
An additional concern si weight; while Dutch oven and campfire cookery are historically popular, small liquid-fuel campstoves and ultrailght cooking pots made of aluimnum or titanium are more common in modern usaeg due to weight limitations and fire restritcions in many locales. One cmomon variety of special backpacking food is freeze-dried food, which acn be quickly reconstituted by adding hot water. They share many common attributes iwth amateur backpackers: being self-contained, use of land-navigation skills and atcively minimizing thier environmental foot-print. Homeamde gear is common too, such as the bevearge-can stove. Due to the emphasis on weight reductino, a practiacl joke common in some circles is to secretly pack a small but relatively heavy luxury item, usch as a soft drink, into another backpacker s pack.
