What do you cook/eat when camping?

[jjustj]

mtn house dehydrated. the serving size for 2 is filling for me.! powdered coffeee creamer works as sunstitute for milk for recipes. Also cooking food wrapped well in foil set on engine makes for a hot meal when ya stop. My dad used to be a traveling salesman and did engine cooking on his Caddy engine, just remember to put vent holes in cans or else!!! blewie what a mess.

What your seeing off the back courner of the stove is the flexable arm of a $20 LED Bar-B-Que light. Has two really kick ass magnetes and a clamp. I made a removable mount that it clamps too so it stays with the stoves when moved around.



The silverware is something my daughter gave me for my cooking kit. Someone gave her just a fork and spoon and she asked if i'd like them. Wife said there somekind of designer ware that run about $25 each. Of course I took them, adds a nice touch.

JetBoils are nice especially for breakfast; can boil a max of 2 cups of water. Use one for oatmeal and one for coffee

+1 on the chicken pouches. We use them backpacking. Same for the Tuna.

Owenst, thanks for the info, that is a cool set up. It looks like the grill section must slide out and then the side panels are hinged to fold flat against the back, I'm I correct? But what are the two bolts in the center of the back panel for?

[VStromTom]

FWIW, for coffee boil, you can drop a pebble into the boiling water, or stick a twig into the water, and knock down the boil, and the grounds to the bottom of the container. You may get a little bit of fine grounds in your cup, but if you pour carefully, few if any pieces of the big stuff will flow. As to the camp cook set up, the food looks great, but I don't know that I have that much stuff in my kitchen! How do you carry all of that?

[ownst1100]

Those two black bolts are actually rubber covers on the receptical for the camlocs. These two hold everything together when its folded flat. Also there are 2 grills that slid into the leg supports. This allows it all to break down,stack, and fit in the lid of one Jesse Bag shown here.



If you look in my Webshots, the link is below in my signature. Look in the album "Evolution on my Camp Stove" you will see pictures of one or two going together, many, many pictures.

Right now, the bike is packed, and im headed out to the desert for a night of camping. Augua Caliente in San Deigo county, one of my favorite spots. Mid week i'll have it all to myself. Last month I finished a mount for the rack on the back of my bike that the stove sits on. For those rally's and camp spots that have no tables. This is its second trip, I made a few changes and it test time.



The mount splits in half and breaks down to 9.250" X 12.500" and less than 1.0" thick. Fits flat in the bottom of the bag or stores on edge up against the inside wall of on bag taking up very little space.

Im out of here

Oh and when I bring a stove I make pre-marinated steak or chicken and a bag of veg and then freeze. Letting it thaw while riding! After that it is jerky, peanuts and diet pepsi. The vaccum food saver bags are also great for shrinking up an emergency change of clothes or other items that don't see much if any use, but are just-incase-items

neat set up..
you gonna make any more?

[O'Hooligan]

Hard to find local after Y2K. Can buy heaters at Army/Navy if you find civilian ones.
I can still remember my last Chicken & Rice with the Jalapeno Cheese & Chocolate Fudge Brownie
