Camping 101

DSC05977.jpeg

What are the three most important items to bring along on any camping trip you might ask? In order of importance, number one is a kettle. A kettle serves two purposes, first and most importantly is the ability to have steaming hot water for your instant coffee in the morning. (Yes a high priority it is) Not to mention the ability to cook instant ramen noodles with this piping hot water, also a high priority, but not as high as getting a proper dose of caffeine first. Number two is a tent. You definitely need a mosquito free environment to rest at night, although in a pinch, one could crash in the vehicle, but obviously that would not be ideal. Number three is a lighter or matches. How are you going to light the fire to roast wieners, or to just simply enjoy the fire as the evening progresses? I suppose you could use the butane element from the kettle cooking apparatus, but that would be awkward and what if you are out of butane? What do you think, and what are your top three items to bring to a camping excursion?

I have only experienced camping as a child in the distant past, but I remember being very happy with the campfire, the tent, and the food. Instant coffee must be delicious to drink outside🙂
The black and white photo of the kettle is especially nice!

I thought you might throw a curveball like shoes into your list or something.

I remember camping in the Bad Lands once and meeting these two guys who put coffee grounds right into the kettle and then one of them, once the water had boiled, wrapped a towel around his hand, picked the kettle up and started moving it wildly in circles like Pete Townshend from the Who played the guitar, using the centrifugal force to pack the coffee grounds to the bottom of the kettle. This allowed him to pour a nice cup of coffee without any grounds spilling into it.

I’m not sure where he learned that technique, but I don’t think I’d recommend it.

Haha, I like coffee, but not quite to that extent. But you never know what one might do if caffeine depraved.

Only if you’re a young mountain guide trying to show off for the ladies, I suppose.

For a few years now I always take a MSR Whisperlite camping stove for my walks less than a 1kg with the fuel it will boil a small kettle is about a minute. Your right there is nothing better than a proper cup of tea to keep you going on a 30 mile slog across Dartmoor Much better than a foul brew that has been stewing in a flask for a few hours.

That's a slick looking little device. Have to get me one. One can go without food for awhile, but drinking liquids is essential.
