Cheers for the ideas guys. Didn't know vacu-packed bacon would stay ok for a few days. Now that is a definite option. Bacon is the food of gods!

I swear to instant dried fruit soups. Ie it's a freeze dried powder mix with bits of freeze dried fruit in it. You just add water and let it simmer for 10 minutes and get it in you. Gives me a lot of energy, and gets me warm. Thats my little tradition from the army days. Wehn on excercises I used to get the Optimus going and make myself that...as it was the only thing left that was edible in our ration packs in the morning that could be heated :-)
But I love the stuff so no problem there. Some people may find it a tad sweet...

Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it

My breakfast favourites have all been mentioned -
Oats with a dose of golden syrup or fruit flakes
Pop Tarts (strawberry is best)
Good old bacon, mushrooms and tortilla wrap.
Not all at the same time of course

The legend that is Shug Emery! This guy is fantastic and his series of vids on hammock camping are the best http://www.youtube.com/user/shugemery
Mmmmm bacon
I've only ever done instant oats whilst out myself, but vacuum packed bacon is definitely a winner
Iceland are selling vacuum packs of dry cured bacon, 6 slices for £1. Its good stuff, you don't get all the white snot leeching out when you fry it.
Pita bread or 'wraps' would have pretty much replaced bread for me if I was still up to solo camping trips.

a breakfast i remember was out in the boat just on daybreak one summer morning on the pollack,pulled onto a beach in a little cove and fried up a fresh mackeral and some bacon grill and eggs..never forget it
I'm a lover of the simple porridge, can't go wrong with it. Although pancakes are hard to beat especially covered in butter and a bit of syrup.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.
