I'm enjoying the swearyness and honesty of this British video, it makes a change from the slightly sanitised, super polished American videos (plus of course I can actually buy all of the things in the UK!)
A packet of the 'proper' asian noodles you can get in place like B&M with a tin of spicy tomato mackrel has become my go to, nice and warming and only costs about £1.50
Sounds good. Except I'd probably swap the mackrel for some other meat! Thanks for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing Yeah just slice some spicy chorizo into the noodles. If the trip is only a day or two I would probably have a carrot and some strips of red/orange/yellow pepper as well. All pretty small and light.
For breakfast we liked to make some overnight oats (meusli) with powdered milk (our supermarket just had these cans of that that worked great) we just prepared ourselves at home and carried out in independent ziploc bags. Only thing to do while out was to add water the night before, find a good place to store the food for the night while it was soaking and in the morning you'd only have to put on the water for some coffee, the meal was already there. Add nuts, dried fruits and cinnamon to taste.
It worked so well I actually take them to music festivals as well now, really useful to get the day started with some pretty healthy energy after all the partying the night before hehe
Also went back to Trangia after 15 years of Primus Omnifuel. It was serving me with diesel, kerosine, fuel etc all around the world.
Now just bushbuddy stove with trangia for seven years again...
Instead of making bannock you can buy ArinaPan to make arepas. Much easier.
For a starter i fry mushrooms with some soya sauce. Everyone i serve it makes it nowad well!!!! You can use bread to soak the soya.
Great video. The trangia is for me the most versatile system and sometimes with the gas adaptor
.. Enjoyed this video ... "If you talk with your hands ... Don't talk with a knife in your hands " .... Excellent instruction ...
Hi Fellas. Not sure about your brand of boil-in-a-bag but the various bean-based Indian ones I can get at the grocery store here in Canada are pre-cooked. While the packaging says to boil the bag for 3-5 minutes we have found that unnecessary. We cook the rice and pour the contents of the bag on top. The rice heats it up nicely.
Great informative video. Since starting wild camping i make my own simple chicken currys, chilli concarne, stew ect. Pop it in a foil bag and seal with a vacuum sealer. So much cheaper and tastier than shop bought camping meals!
Thanks 👍
Yep - a lot tastier! Cheers for watching!
That’s the route I plan to go down. Cook extra when making dinners through the week and put them in foil bags.
My fav stove atm is Soto Windmaster
I love my trangia - I love how sturdy and simple it is. It works regardless of wind or cold or rain. It all packs up into itself. I've got a trangia triangle as well, and find that better for frying because the heat is closer to the food. I don't love how much things tend to stick to the aluminium mind you, and at some point I might try some of the other cooksets. I've proper meals for 4 on a combined trangia triangle plus trangia with gas adaptor. Another thing which is important to me is that meths is cheap and far more eco friendly than gas canisters, as well as being able to take what you need with you without excess. I've recently bought a pillbox stove, although I haven't really got to grips with it yet.
Very well done Trev. I haven't scrolled through all of the previous comments.
Straight to the point and most importantly, for me, no "influencer promotional material.' You have used your own experiences and produced a really good informative video that will save some people lots of beer tokens! Whereas you had a long, expensive, and painful journey, your subscribers and the people who will find this video will not have to do so..
When serving I used the Jetboil to heat my 24. hr Rat Packs, or the issued Optimus multifuel stove. After hiking some of the Appalachian Trail I went for the Soto Windmaster and cook set. I have used the Trangia gas burner with their triangular lightweight camping stove. You can take the alcohol stove as well and get the best of both worlds!
Each of the stoves seen has its benefits but it will be up to the individual to decide to choose what suits their needs. You have helped them to make an informed choice.
For me it's horses for courses, I like my trangia mini but it is nice sometimes to have the jetboily type thing for a 2 min coffee! (I have a Firemaple polaris it's regulated and comes with a potstand and can simmer lovely!)
Cheers Dave.
“Don’t taste like dog sh1t at all.”
That should’ve been the title of the vid! Lol
Ah... I missed a trick. If it doesn't perform very well I may just use that strategy to get it moving.
@@SummitOrNothing 😂😂😂😂😂
Really great video reminding me of how much I’ve spent on stoves, frightening. I’ve settled for some years now on the Esbit version of the trangia because it has a handle on the simmer ring (I like to keep the hair on my hands when I put out the flame 😂). It’s quiet and not bright for stealth camping and I love spending time with meals and hot drinks cooking outdoors. I use the TOAKS Titanium Stand, it’s probably the lightest in the world and I’ve devised a way of using it as a twig burner if I run out of spirit. The Evernew Ultralight Titanium Mug Pot 900 is for boiling water and boil in the bag/freeze dried meals. I use the Jetboil Summit Skillet non-stick pan for frying, proper pan cooking and even some sudo-baking and grilling. I love this kit but I have thought that before.
This was definitely a well timed video for me! Ive just been given a Jetboil Flash for Xmas, and very keen to get out and use it on the moors. I was up at Rowtor on Monday with the family and managed some hot chocolate between snow and hail but everyone was keen for the hot drink! Hopefully Ill be out on the north moors this spring, get some wild camping in, the first time in 15 odd years...
Awesome christmas present, there. Youre spoiot! Nothing like hot chocolate up on the moors. Cheers for watching!
Really great to see you both again. All the best to you.
Thank you for watching
This is excellent as wifey`s bought me the Jetboil Flash Java Kit that's sat under the xmas tree 🙂 hopefully be just the trick for quick noodle meals on dartmoor, Can you heat can soup in them trev !
Yea - I'd have thought so, Andie! Enjoy!
I take tinned food like chilli con carne, Heinz chunky soup.loads of choice out there.bit heavy but ok for 1 or 2 nights
I recently got one of the gas stoves like the one you had flat to the ground with the hose to the gas can it was a cheap type one off Amazon but it also came with a attachment “I believe the more expensive ones can get as a add on” that allows for the long thin butane can’s to be used as well as the standard camping gas can’s I love that idea as ok they won’t fit in your cookware but if you pack food in your cookware or other cooking equipment or cleaning items you can then save money on average with the butane can’s that often can be found places like b&m in the warmer months for about half the price for double the quantity but if you don’t have one to hand you take the adapter off and you are back to the standard screw on can’s “at any size” so you can pack just a small light one for a day or over night’er or o e of the giant ones if you are away for longer it all also came in a small sturdy plastic box so you don’t need to leave the adapter at home and if you run out of gas it gives you options what to get or if you can borrow a can on the fly if your one can get that adapter it’s totally worth it and they are very small so it’s not going to effect your load out but could save the day if you have a mishap 👍🏻
Absolutely love this video keep it real. Laughed my head of at the language and thinking I did that (and learnt the hard way) keeping the weekend dream alive. 👍👍
I found your video both informative and good fun. Lots of similar experiences 😂👍🏻
Awesome vid. I've gone through the same issues, problems, crisis myself. Love the way you broke it all down. Triffic
I feel bad that I was 52nd to the party 🎉 but will try and jump on the christmas video for the glory spot of 1st
I currently use the MSR Pocket Rocket 2. Managed to price match them in Go Outdoors for £15 because I found some random site selling them while I was in store. I love that they do that.
I also have an Alpkit BruKit that comes with me whenever I think I'm going to need to boil a decent amount of water fast. I love that thing. One day I might take my alcohol burner out, but it just seems like so much faff....
Hahah! Thats awesome, Matt! Well played sir, well played!
Really fab video! I struggle with meals as I'm coeliac and allergic to bell peppers! One or the other be ok but together it's a nightmare lol. Have found a selection of dehydrated meals I like but might try making my own to take.
Yea - my wife is coeliac too. It is a nightmare! You should definitely try prepping your own meals. Thanks for watching!
Totally on board with them Mylar pouches, made myself a nice chicken Madras a few days before, whacked it in the freezer and cooked it in my Alpkit BruKit when out camping...absolutely bangin' 👌
Yep, they are great for sure! Cheers for watching, Mark!
Can you explain a bit more about the Mylar pouches and how to use?
Nice one Trev.
I think all of the cook systems have there place.
I have a jet boil did have the Jobsworth.
And have the same naturhike stove you have which I probably use the most.
I do like the trangia just slower and a bit more hassle as I’m lazy.
Atb Graham
Nice selection of stoves tere, Graham. Cheers for commenting!
If you haven't definitely give the kelly kettle a look guys, runs on just any dry sticks or biomass so no need to carry fuel, boils water and can cook out the chimney.
Another great video Trev😁. MSR make the lowdown remote stove adapter and any burner screws into it for a lower more stable boil. Cheers for all the videos👍
Ah, that sounds great, cheers Mark. Thanks for watching!
It's got to be trangia cookset, no problems with wind, two pots plus fry pan and kettle. Reliable and quiet. Had mine for 25 years and although have gas stoves generally stick to my Trangia 😊
I went straight to a trangia, its been good, often i wish i had a gas one though for simplicity but to be honest it makes me stop and take some time to prepare some nice food which is fun in itself
Yep, it's a classic. I may have to drag mine out again in the new year. Cheers for watching
Trangia. It just works.
I have a gas adapter for mine as well. Fast boil!
Superb stuff, Trev; keep 'em coming! Another idea for you - will need Nath's help, but could use a lot of the old footage - I can't help but note how often Nath's dog is wandering about, perfectly happy. It would be beneficial to know more about how he did that; camping with the dog, keeping it under control (I.E., around sheep), getting in / out of the tent, wet dog, muddy dog, etc. etc. Every single video I have seen addressing dogs on the trail notes that its simple with something like a sheep dog. Well, for those interested in the subject, we have the dog we have, so that's a fat lot of use! Noting Nath's dog was a terrier of some kind, so it would be really great to have some tips. Hope you both are well and Merry Christmas.
That does sound a great topic - I think as much depends on the dog. We used to have a staffy like Nath's, i could walk him without a lead if I wanted, he just knew to stay by me and how to behave. We have just got ourselves a new dog, he's fine around the house, fine on certain woodland walks, but the minute he gets near any animals he off, and when he has it in his head, he isnt coming back!
Brilliant! Will said canine be accompanying you on future camps?
Also, completely agree; the dog has a big part to play. Nonetheless, hearing how others handle the logistics of camping with a dog would be really useful.
Summit or nooooothing! So hyped for the Xmas camp!
Yeah, need to start editing soon. Finished work now, but we've all got the bloody lurgy 🤢
@@SummitOrNothing Aww that sucks, hope you get well soon bud. Love the video as always, one of my favourite channels by far!
@@poopdeck cheers very much. Glad that you enjoy it! I promise that 2023 will be a foot to the pedal year with regards to the channel. Cheers foe watching!
Can not beat a bit of stew. Love the idea of making your own instead of buying B in B 😊
Your flapjack recipe is great! Easy to tweet to taste, it’s now a family favourite which is rumoured to be better than flapjackary….
Yea, I must make another batch myself! Mmmm good
Great practical video. If " Masterchef or GBBO" try a five mile hike and then cook a meal sue them for copyright infringement. Thanks for all the inspriational videos this year. Merry Christmas to you and Nath and those you cherish.
Thanks Phil! Mery Christmas to you too!
A quick tip on wayfarers... you don't need to keep the water boiling. You're not gonna eat boiling food. You only need to keep the boil going for an extra minute and leave the bag in the water for an extra 5 minutes or so. If you've got a sleeve and a lid on your pot, it'll keep the water from cooling too quickly, allowing you to turn the gas off earlier. What's the point of heating your food so hot you've gotta let it cool back down anyway?
Anyways, great episode, Trev!
Great tip, Craig! Cheers mate!
@SummitOrNothing, you can actually put one of those on your skin on your back and put your pack on and walk around for a couple of hours. It'll be luke warm but not cold. Works in a pinch and tastes much better than a cold meal.
im a big fan of a pair of stainless steel mess tins and a hexi cooker with hexi gel all fits into its self and still have space for a spoon sponge and some tissues to clean it with oh and of coarse some purification tablets, loved the video i very nearly bought some of these cookers
Cheers joseff. Not tried the hero stoves myself so can't comment but hear a lot of people enjoy them. Thanks for commenting
Great, informative video. For me, trangia is the most versatile system
Yea - it sure is, Mark. Amazing what can be done with it, quite impressive!
Nothing wrong with cheese and oaty biscuits, but I know what you mean sometimes you want a bigger meal. For me I've used all 3 forms gas, trangia, and wood. I think trangia is probably the best overall - although gas does get a brew out quicker.
Great video. I thunk the adventure foods are becoming my favourite for the dehydrated and the boil in the bag wayfarer are decent too. Stove wise I have the oex etna mini which is great for hikes mainly and then the firemaple and just bought the trangia 27 kit which I am hoping to try out soon.
Brilliant video, fun to watch.
Brilliant video, it has given me some ideas thanks. I've been using a trangia for more than 30 years , quickly changed from meths to gas as you have more control over heat,will be up grading to non stick pans.Happy new year to you and Nath.
Thanks Serge. Glad to have helped inspire your outdoors cooking! All the best!
I picked up a Fire Maple Buzz for £13 from Wood to Water (they also shock Lanshan tents, cheaper than Amazon) and a cheapo titanium pot as I'm a beginner. Pretty excited to get out and try it! My plan was to start cheap and simple, and upgrade as I go (get a heat exchanger, or one of the Fire Maple or Alpkit jetboil equivalents) - or maybe try an alcohol stove if I'm feeling brave!
I'm super clumsy and was considering if I should have bit the bullet and got a jetboil, but seeing they can also topple over and potentially start a fire, makes me feel a bit better about my cheapskate purchase!
(I will bear in mind that I need flat ground and it won't work in super windy conditions)
I bought a cheapo Odoland cookset off amazon that came with a stove, that also has an ignitor.. I thought it would get me started and I would upgrade later!
Four years and three billion tents later I still taking the Odoland on every camp with me, it packs down into a little bag and holds a small gas within itself, and I usually take cheapo 22p aldi noodles and some peas and peperami with me but I do have videos where I have made steak and veg with peppercorn sauce, or on my camp/fish with my son I made a kick ass chicken and veg curry.. it also boils water quicker than a jet boil and cost me £16.99 at the time.. the pot has now started to degrade a little and im half tempted to say fck it and just buy another one thats exactly the same.. if it aint broke dont fix it
😂😂😂Thats awesome - you dont need to spend a fortune to boil some water lol. Cheers for commenting mate!
OEX have introduced a Jet Boil look a like, called HEIRO, for £45, which seems to be garnering good reviews.
A backpacking cook book might be a good idea. Those boil in the bag meals are convenient but pricy for the quantity in them.
Trangia ! But the storm cooker, butane powered.... since the early 80s
Great, informative video & the funniest thing I've seen for a long time
Cheers Andrew. Really glad that you enjoyed it mate. Cheers!
It's well below freezing here with high winds, but I want to cook lunch on my camp stove.
Merry Christmas my friend, Cheers!
Then get it out, anyway, sir. Are you on the Eastern Coast, George? Have seen the storm you guys have been hit by on the news over here. Great to hear from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Great video with lots of content. I have used a trangia 27 for sometime with meths but have just got the gas converter which will hopefully make it a bit safer cooking in and near the tent?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ~ Wish you good health, strong mind, and best luck. 🎄🎉🎄
Thanks Tommy! All the best to you and your family too!
Great video Trev, shows the range and progression through your travels, and highlights pluses and minuses or all of them, whens your next camp? try the BCB firedragon, nice for day camps, lightweight, but not great for proper 'cooking'
Hi Ian. Thanks for the recommendation, may have a look into it. I have just this minute uploaded and scheduled my annual Christmas Camp video, goes live on Boxing Day!
You’ve got a new subscriber! Thanks for the content fellas!
Awesome, thank you!
@@SummitOrNothing this was easy, what you do is worth a big ol’ THANK YOU 🙏 I learn something new every time I watch!
Top vid!
Fairly new to you’re channel. Loving it, thank you.👍
Thanks Lee! Glad that you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching!
Real turmat meals very tasty though expensive (but I am worth it 😊). 550ml titanium pot and either the BRS 3000 or msr pocket rocket deluxe for me.
Not tried those may have to investigate, cheers
Excellent and useful video !!
Nath reminds me of Karl Pinkerton, grumpy but bloody funny at the same time.
Trangias rule 😂 nice vid trev, miss Nath, hope he's all good. Must get myself down to dartmoor next yr!
Happy New year 😁
Yeo, reliable bit of kit the trangia. Thanks for watching, happy new year!
Getting into intermittent fasting is heck'uva weightsaver.
You don't get hungry every 200 meters, due to less satiatiom hormones, and you can eat loads when time is right. Plus bacon with good concience.
I use a Vango folding stove, it connects to the gas with a hose.
Yes, I've seen them. Looks a great stove.
I still like using my BCB Crusader 2 the most however I'm trying to get into a bit more longer multi day hikes so I'm looking to save as much weight as possible. What's the lightest setup anyone has including enough for fuel for say boiling 2 litres of water?
The good old trangia 25 with gas burner never lets me down.
Yep, it's a classic bit of kit. Cheers Jim!
Liking the hi quality edits... a stroll down memory lane to be sure... ATB and get well soon mate..PS when u gonna edit naths canoe stuff lol
Cheers sir! I quite enjoy putting these together. Winter / Xmas camp vid next
@@SummitOrNothing i sincerely hope mulled wine is involved
@@rooksfoot1184 sadly, because it was imprompyu I was underprepared. I'll make sure I consume plenty whilst editing
@@SummitOrNothing nice i got abottle on ur recommendation il toast all the SoN crew on xmas day with it
Made me giggle. I use a trangia, or just a lightweight stove and cannister.
Cheers Jeanette! Cant go wrong with a trangia!
Wait a brilliant video that was - really enjoyed that - I’m just a simple vango gas stove which tbf has never let me down - and I’ve done burgers n steaks n sausages and even a curry or two as well - be interested in giving your flapjack a go - how do I find the recipe?
Heres a link to the flapjack video... czcams.com/video/M8eNsCVP9RY/video.html glad that you have had a good go cooking for yourself out there too. Vango sounds great, you don't have to spend hundreds just to heat a pan. Thanks for watching!
Did you try using the trangia to cook ordinary food like you used to cook on the gas stoves ?
Do you mean boil in the bags?
Is that Geoff buys Cars - Geoff?
❤
Good video
Thanks Kenneth!
I'd forgotten about Melongate made me laugh 😃
😂😂😂 Melongate lol
I've just bought mesen a Wild camping International 750ml Titanium Bail Handle Mug.
Hoping to make mesen a nice little cook set for the haversack.
Merry Xmas to me...
And everyone else I suppose... 😜
Awesome. Hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
Honestly, if i went camping with someone who made so much noise eating, only one of use would be coming back
Good grief "chaps"
if you not going- ultra light
Kovea spider. for gas that is.
Thanks a lot for the link for the resealable bags on Amazon….👍Just out of curiosity what sizes did you use?
Cheers in advance 🙂
I cant quite remember, its been a while. I usually order what seems right and they either turn up too big or too small lol
The ones i buy are 150x230, 6 inch x 9 inch. A decent size for a filling meal!
@@SummitOrNothing Cher Bro 👍
