Since the theme of this comments appears to be critiquing OP’s simple meal, I will say that OP should be boiling the hotdogs with lake water.
The boiling will kill off the bacteria in the water, and after you’ve eaten your boiled hotdogs, you’ll be left with sterilized potable hotdog water that you can put in a canteen for hydration while you backpack in the area.
I recommend using your backpacking time to look for wild berries and fruit. The high sugar content will be key for when you want to make alcohol in your cabin.
When making your mash, use your found berries, some of the hotdog water and substitute hops for a few slices of hotdog. This will help you ferment something that pairs well with your meals.

sterilised potable hotdog water
Stop talking. Stop talking now.
Now I’m wondering: could a squeeze filter make hotdog water tolerable? Maybe if you used enough water so the excess salt is diluted, because filters don’t desalinate.
I should mention that this is by Michigan Lakes in Colorado. Nice minimalist cabins there.

Yumm…. breakfast!
I’m curious how the picture came out. The far side of the river looks fake.

Looks good. (I’d skip the mug, burner and skillet. Just use a small open fire and heat the sausages on a stick above that)
We had fire restrictions in CO at the time because of dry and windy weather, otherwise we would have because that’s delicious. I think we could have used coals in the grill you see behind us, but we didn’t want to risk it.
Yeah, we have those restrictions reguarly too (though tourists have a hard time understanding they apply to them too.)
Ps: build yourself a sodacan stove!

If this man wanted to spend extra time making food, he wouldn’t be eating a hot dog.
You make me doubt my lifes choices !! (well … Almost that is)
