Advice from Experienced Runners Regarding Cooking Equipment for the MDS

(Note, these tips are personal. Some advice may suit you, while others may not. It is important to test your cooking equipment before the MDS):

- Take the lightest possible equipment

- Take a pot with a lid to prevent sand from getting into the food and to heat the meal faster (otherwise, use aluminum foil)

- Try to find a "spork"

- Take a pot or cookset made of aluminum or titanium to heat water

- Use a water bottle cut in half as a bowl
