| Selecting Firewood - The basic properties of firewood and how different species will affect your overall use and enjoyment of wood fire cooking. Turk's Bushbuddy Ultra Stove Review - I had the sincere privledge of testing the prototype bushbuddy stove, prior to its commercial release as an exclusive product for backpackinglight.com Please do not let this fact sway you into thinking that I am under any sort of obligation to post a positive review. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that, this product - custom designed and hand crafted one-at-a-time by Fritz Handel, is a sheer masterpiece of both design and funtion. Are you looking for simple meals for paddling or hiking trips? Tired of that expensive and somewhat questionable nutrition from commercial freeze-dried foods? Do you know about Freezer Bag Cooking yet? If not - then allow me to bring you up to speed with a few of the highlights and advantages: - Every meal is designed to be easily prepared when you are in the field. Ingredients are carefully prepared in zip-lock freezer bags before you head out on your trip. - You can even prepare them weeks in advance and store in the freezer, for an unexpected or spontaneous paddling or hiking weekend. - If you can boil water .... you have a meal. It couldn't be more simple. Boil water - add water to bag of ingredients, or add ingredients to a pot - shake / stir and let sit - then eat. - With freezer bag cooking the clean up is simple. Seal the bag, and pack out your garbage. No dishes! great for places with limited water supply. Using one-pot-cooking - meals become a simple and efficient affair. Allow me to present one of those 'hidden gems' of the internet... www.freezerbagcooking.com - your one stop, spot for recipes and meal ideas. Focused on nutrition, and with so much variety, there are enough ideas for a lifetime of 'good' outdoor meals. |
