> What is in the plastic bag next to the String Cheese (kind of a reddish blob??)

Looks like salami. I'd like to know: How long can you trust string cheese and salami to be ok without refrigeration?

On another note: The "stove" setup I carry could almost be considered "stoveless" when compared to other stoves.

My "Esbit Titanium Folding Stove" $14.95 at REI plus homemade aluminum foil wind screen plus lighter weighs less than two ounces. The esbit tablets at half an ounce each last more than a day each. The stove, lighter, wind screen and 3 tablets weigh in at 3 oz, about equal to the Snow Peak 600 ml cooking pot/water cup.
