    Any one got a recommendation for a container to keep food hot ( 4 / 5 hours) while hiking?

    Any food flask will do the job for four or five hours, I think. A Thermos brand one I use will keep stuff hot enough for about 12 hours if you preheat the flask and put it in piping.

    You don't have to with a food flask, unless you want to bring an entire ham, or something. They're basically insulated pots with a lid.

    If I was out for that long, I'd be bringing my trusty Trangia.

    Ah, I'm no stranger to cooking on the hills, but for a dayhike, food flasks are king. No set-up, no fuel, no waiting, just your grub and on you go.

    that's grand, I just find it satisfying to take some time out and cook up something. Amazon have a decent selection of food flasks.

    That particular thermos food flask gets very good reviews on amazon.co.uk.
