There’s more to cooking outdoors than a gas stove and a camping toaster. If you live an adventurous outdoor life in your leisure time, then you need to be able to fend for yourself. Fortunately that doesn’t involve laying traps and skinning carcasses; it just means having the right tools at your disposal.
Depending on the scale of your ambitions you can cook up a feast or boil up a brew. Occasional walkers and picnickers will love the extensive range of portable barbeques; easy to carry, simple to set up and disposed of in an instant.
For the hardened hikers and experienced outdoors types, you’ll be pleased to know that fending for yourself in the great outdoors hasn’t gone out of fashion. There’s still an art to starting a camp fire and cooking a meal, armed only with whatever rudimentary utensils you can conjure up…
Except, truth be told, it really isn’t that bad these days! So you might leave the ultra light cool box on the shelf, but you’ve still got a whole host of other outdoor labour savers at your disposal. Forget the flint and dry grass; pack a packet of windproof and waterproof matches in your pack and you’ll be toasting your toes in front of the campfire in next to no time.
Storm proof stoves and non stick cook sets make it easier than ever to cook up a camp fire meal without cooking up a fuss. And if you’re travelling light; a super light canister stove will see you through your outdoors adventure, without ever weighing you down.
So whether you flame, grill, boil or barbeque, there’s no limit to what culinary feats you can achieve, whether it’s out in the back garden, or out in the wilds!
