Get a wind protector (to protect the flame), tiny, flat, easy to pack and well worth it!

We will have one pot, for our next trip, so we make stews. With a lid so that it heats up faster.

We got bored of rice and tuna last time we did long travels. We cooked what we could find. In south america it was easy.

A good recipe to get some flavours:

Get some sort of vegs, what you can find (get a flat shopping board, it will be handy and the thin plastic ones are very light) get them shopped.
If you have oil, stir fry them a bit. Add some meat (sausage meat /cured meat etc... is nice as it can keep for several days).
Cover with water.
I carry a small box of mixed spices (garam masala, chilli, oregano and mixed herbs, salt, pepper). So I add this to the stew.

To add more flavour, add a bag of dried soup. You can find those everywhere I think.

To carry eggs I saw a good idea on ADVRider ride report: buy 6 eggs and boil them straigh away. Keep in their shells. Add them to the stew for added protein. Add rice, noodles or whatever carbs are available to bulk up the stew.

We will test those recipes very soon as we get on our way to Mongolia!

Oh and get a proper knife! You will suffer wit a pen knife! I have a big Opinel and also got another medium size hunting knife in Argentina (one that folds in 2... not sure name of those in english) . See hunting/fishing /outdoors shops. One with big wide blade, convenient for chopping, cutting etc...

Note there was a long thread in the HUBB, a while ago, where some chap from OZ was posting videos of one pot cooking. Very good stuff.... Try to check it out!
