boy do I have alot of stuff. I know Im packing for both me and craig as hes a bit short on space at his place but 2 and a halfish storage type boxes of stuff seems alot. then again with the food/camping stoves/ponchos/other bits its all needed so cant really be thinned down. at least a fair chunk will go into my musette pack once i get my webbing on. but still looks like alot
Anyone else finding the same problem?
Also its been maannnnyyyy years since I used a camping stove. I have 2 little 1 ring burners to cook on. how quick do they go through gas. have 4 little canisters for each but not sure if thats to much/not enough
got one of these

why do you need two cookers you feeding all the yanks 
As they were little single ring jobs and can only fit one mess tin on at once figured one for me one for craig. or one for the meat one for the rice etc.
I'm bringing as much 'cooks' in seconds stuff as possible.
That and plenty of fruit and chocolate.
aye got lots of fruit bars and fruit etc too. snacky stuff that will fit in my pockets. plus my main meals and then extra bits incase of wet weather. its not excessive when you lay out what its all for. just seems alot when looking at it
am just shoving it all in one pot, slop mmmm proper grub 
I dunno namby pambys extra hob for rice
*shrug* some of it i wont mix for ease of cooking plus this way i can brew a coffee and cook a meal hehe
I suggest get meals in tins from the supermarket. I'd suggest you don't want to be cooking- more heating things up . Also bear in mind you don't need that much food for one 24 hour period .
And don't forget a tin opener. 
tin opener...... check
I have some tinned meals but Im a coeliac so I struggle to find tinned meals that dont contain wheat. So have to make do. What isnt tinned is in small containers tho so its ok.
slop in freezer bags, precooked needs nothing but heating mmmm slop
I appreciate the cooking issue now rhysd 
thanks helga heh. I dont wanna make craig have to suffer some of the wheat free rubbish 
Plus im a stickler for some caffine in the morning with brekkie. Saunter over from the german camp and I'll do you a brew heh
And that odd non gluten bread !!
And that odd non gluten bread !!
Dont get me started on that stuff. bleagh nasty evil bread. A few companies now are doing rolls that are passable but they are still very crumbly and dry. We make our own bread but even thats hit and miss on how it turns out.
Rhys, don't forget the kitchen sink here's my schedule, Stop at Little Thief A41 en route, have Olympic breakfast, arrive & wobble about burning the breakfast off, biscuits for snack, pies for tea, snared rabbit for breakfast testing out how good Rhys's stove is, then after the event back to the Little Chef
Yes it's amazing how many of the ex squaddie contigent who play at IED stop off at the McDs in Chirk for a full on nosh before wobbling up to site . 
hehe steve we're going up friday so need one extra meal.
If you actually catch a rabbit I'll happily cook it for ya. Used to hunt vermin for various farmers and market gardners so well versed in gutting/skinning/cooking em. Though they cook better slow cooked with a sauce to keep them moist. they are also easier to hack up with a pair of garden one handed shears.
I will bring my M3 knife just encase, still got my old hexi stove here, they can fit in your pocket, no use for rabbits thou,
Steve.D
sounds good hehe mmmmm rabbit stew
Hahahha - that'll be "Welsh Rarebit" then !!!!!!!!!!!
I'll get me coat ...........
