Camping
The Kitchen
If you thought you were unlikely to camp, cooking is much further down the list. The chances are, wherever there's a campsite, there food on sale nearby. People aren't stupid.
However, we've got the camp with us in case we decide to (or are forced to) pitch up in the middle of nowhere so we might as well have the kitchen with us too.
Some people, of course, like to camp cook. I'm not one of them. We're talking something close to emergencies here. Can we boil some rice and make a cup of tea?
Stove
There's MSRs and Coleman Sportster 533 duel fuel (I even have one) but I saw reference to Trangias and their compact lightweight simplicity. Sold:
Obviously, that includes the pans and kettle and a bag.
Trangia Extras
They make fuel bottles (a bit more robust than the plastic bottle meths is sold in) and a neat pan cover cum chopping board. Top.
Sundries
Knife, fork, spoon, sharp/chopping knife, teaspoon, wooden spoon. Bowl/plate. Mug.
Condiments, spices, tea bags, coffee. Sugar for guests (they'll have to bring their own milk).
A sponge and some washing up liquid. A tea towel?
The sponge and washing up liquid have been very useful for cleaning bugs off my visor...
My (enamel) mug has traveled the world with me and only been used in anger once and that was to aid consumption of a bottle of Wolf Blass Grey Label before leaving Australia as we couldn't carry it out. It would have been better still had I drunk the contents and not trod on it and glugged wine over the carpet of the YHA in Brisane. Sorry! It really stank the room out!
Food
Oh, there isn't a restaurant?
I wasn't expecting any no-restaurant scenarios on my first couple of trips but I did make sure I had a healthy stock of flapjacks. Just in case.
Next time? Er...those flapjacks were great!
