The coffee thread reminded me to share here a great coffee maker for camping. It is the GSI Java Drip. Clip it on your cup, put ground coffee in it and pour hot water through it. Weight isn't much of a problem camping on an NC, but space can be. This thing folds flat to 4" across by 1/4" thick and weighs almost nothing. I also keep one on my brief case to be able to make a good cup of coffee at work.
Quite a few who have seen mine in a campground want to know were to buy one. Bought mine at a Mast General Store in North Carolina. Also on REI web site.
As far as food goes, this is what I used to use while hiking and camping (not motocamping). I like the Mountain House meals, tastes good (add tabasco, old MRE trick). They can be picked up at most out doors shops as well.

One warning on down filled backs. This from what I have read and not personal experience. Down won't keep you warm if it is wet. Synthetic filled bags, while degraded when wet will still work to keep you warm. I have an inexpensive dry bag to put the sleeping bag in so it can't inadvertently get wet.
Hey Matt, thanks for the heads up. The bag I got is called "Dri- Down". It has specially treated down to resist getting wet. I did some research and found what you said to be true. I opted for the down because it packs smaller. So far, my tent has performed great when it comes to keeping me dry. It is old though and I'm ready for a good three man tent for my next one.
