Title: irish2010 saying hi
Post by: irish2010 on July 15, 2009: Been on the outside looking in for long enough.... Just to say hi, I'm based in Bangor and getting back into the wilderness after too many years away. I bought a canadian canoe last year and like to combine a trip with some wild camping and some bushcraft...(ain't uncle Ray got a lot to answer for).

Love the site, some great tips and now glad to be a part of it all

:)

Post by: RedLeader on July 15, 2009: Welcome to the site. Canadian canoeing and bushcraft go well together, I have an Old Town Charles River and it's great for island camping.

Post by: undestructables on July 16, 2009: As my Hubby and I are just kinda new to camping.Well hubby is more of a mountain camper,whereas I like all my luxurys.I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas to meals that they make whilst camping.
Apart from super noodles and a pasta dish that I make I have come to a mind blank.....LOL So any advive would be gladly received.

Post by: MG1 on July 16, 2009: You can't go wrong with the boil in a bag meals the mightn't sound great but you'll be surprised. I got my girlfriend to try them and she loved them. You can pick them up from cotswolds or any camping shop.

Welcome Irish2010 and Undestructables to the forum.

just buy a bigger gas cooker and cook as if at home undestructables.

I remember my mum cooking on a two ring gas stove when I was a kid and we had spuds fish finger beans etc, just cause your in a tent doesn't mean you have to resort to boil in the microwave tray meals...

but must admit bacon and sausage baps are handy and nice when out and about.
