Jetboil campside cookery

We know it is still cold outside, but thats no reason to stop you getting outdoors and maybe doing some walking, hiking, bike-riding or if
you are really brave, camping.

Getting some good, warm food down you, in our experience is pretty much the best motivation for doing anything outdoors when it is bitterly cold. But food when out and about shouldn't just be about flasks of soup, energy bars and super noodles. If you think beyond those predictable foodstuffs and make nicer, more wholesome food you will enjoy being outdoors more.

While you are aren't exactly going to be conjuring up haute cuisine in a tent, there is no excuse to eat poorly. Eating good wholesome food can lift your spirits, motivate you and help you enjoy being outdoors, even when it is chucking it down with rain. Making this good wholesome food is not exactly a difficult task, all it needs is a good camping stove, some favourite old recipes (see below) and some common sense!

We find the ideal camping stove to use is the Jetboil, whether you are camping out in the woods, at a festival or going fishing for the day, the Jetboil reigns supreme. The Jetboil is ideal because it weighs only 425g and can easily fit in the pocket of a backpack, leaving more room for the ingredients you are going to be needing to cook up some good food. We sell a few different accessories for the Jetboil to make your cooking experience even better, here.
