TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

One of those silver quilted looking windscreen sun shades from target or kmart type places. Cut and taped to appropriate size and shape. Light, effective and squishable/foldable depending on design.

This is what I use. Great stuff, will keep your food warm until the last tidbit.
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I just used some car insulation I had laying around. I think it would be better if it was lined both sides like the sun shades but it does the job.

Should be obvious but just in case...
as long as you are not accident prone , after you have your pot inside an insulation layer, pile your sleeping bag over it or spare clothing if you have.

I've bought some of the insulation material from Daiso - Strider thanks for the suggestion - it is foam on one side and foil on the other - is it ok to have foam on the inside? Or should I have the foil next to the pot?
