no, you shouldn't put hot water in nalgenes

Nalgenes (lexan) with hot water can leach BPA, a possible cancer causing substance.

Therefore, I will not put instant noodles in my nalgene and try and cook with it. We probably won't need to anyway, because you can get cup-noodles.

Just because the bottle doesn't break doesn't mean its not leaking chemicals.

OKay, I wont try it. I'll just bring my usual mess kit (spoon, fork, chopsticks) and the steel mug.

How much snacks do we need to bring? I suppose we'll be eating quite decently, but snacks during hiking (if we get to hike).
