What about good old BACON. Ed Abbey, in his books, is always cookin bacon for breakfast. You take a pound or so and fry it up good and you arent gonna get cold AT ALL during the day. Bacon taped over a blister will also heal it, and you can cut a slit in the bacon and put it over your eyes if you forgot your sunglasses.... Read Wm. O'Douglas's "Of Men and Mountains"
They went on two-week hikes with a cast-iron skillet, five pound sacks of beans, flour, sugar, slabs of bacon, etc, all rolled up in a blanket.
You could use the skillet for glissades, which cleans the bottom.
Eating beans and bacon 3x/day for a week will clean the too from gas expulsion.
