I used to drink a lot of instant coffee on the trail, but as I started watching my pack weight, I decided if I as going to carry something, it better have some calorie. So I experimented with making a hot drink from chocolate chips or carob chips. They both taste about the same. I've read carob is a bit healthier.
I suppose you could buy a package of hot chocolate, but it's heavier and I don't recognize the names of a lot of the ingredients.
This makes about 1 1/2 cups of hot drink.
Sometimes nature provides a perfect place to sit. This is along segment 2 of the Colorado Trail in the burn zone from the Buffalo Creek fire.
