I suppose the same could be done to rice.

It could turn out that just soaking the rice could save more energy than anything I have tried.

Sometimes I feel like I'm re-inventing the past.

I took a survival course at one point... and par normal, we were allowed to take (1) food item with us, along with essentials, like a knife, some cloth, extra clothes, etc (things you should have when hiking alone anyway).

My food item was rice, because it has such a high carb content, and it was winter, with snow on the ground.

Clear plastic rice bowl, dumped out some of the rice that I took into the cloth to save for later, put stream water in the bowl, put the lid back on, and let it sit in the sun all day. By the time it started really getting cold out, I had a fairly warm bowl of rice to enjoy while starting the fire so I could heat up my rabbit.

Those were the days, eh?
