Eh, using an emptied soda-can and unused heat-packet to prep a cup of coffee the next morning was still pretty impressive (well, that, and re-lighting a properly 'banked' and concealed fire-pit via thermal sights to find a pair of buried embers).

MREs created quite a mess, it was found to be more reasonable to retain the mobile field-kitchen approach for the one-week mission to traverse 76 miles by canoe unobserved.
-Which included a half-mile stuggle upsteam the Clam-dam river. Although possable, the resault was found impractical enough that current security at the dam is sufficient to prevent any meaningful attack.
