Place quick oats in the blender and break down the oatmeal by using the blender’s “pulse” mode.  Be careful not to blend the oatmeal too much, or you will produce a flour which will result in edible - but very gluey - oatmeal.  Your end result should still contain very small oatmeal flakes.  Place in a ziploc bag and label.

Options: You may choose to pre-mix the oatmeal with brown sugar, spices (cinnamon), milk powder, and dried fruit (raisins, apples, ...), but this can also be done on the trail.

Spoon a few tablespoons of the oatmeal into your bowl. Add brown sugar, milk powder, spices, and dried fruit as desired. Pour boiling water over the oatmeal until it reaches your preferred consistency. Try this out at home first to find out how much oatmeal and water works for you.
