I'm quite a camping novice, so as I did with the hillwalking prep, I'm trying all the kit out before heading out to more challenging locations - the idea behind it all is a plan to do some activations on some small islands, but work commitments will prevent that happening for a while For what it was, the grub was rather tasty and no subsequent gut trouble to report http://youtu.be/ZiOhhGGClM4

Then all you have to do is heat your water, empty a bag in and you'll have perfect coffee in no time. I usually take at least two ready mixed bags per day I'm out. No glass, no liquid, no mess, minimal weight and room. Also don't bother with the fancy aluminium water bottles. Normal mineral water bottles are lighter and can be crushed to reduce size when empty.

I'll be trying out a tiny Hexamine stove out shortly - I hope it works, because it's tiny and would be ideal for a wild camp
