Camping

[Raz Mcgruff]

Ohh yes please! I'm planning a tour of Scotland in May and although I've done a lot of touring it'll be my first time camping with the bike so this thread will be useful.

I'm going wild camping and so the plan is pretty much just to pitch up where looks nice and live simply for a couple of days, then move on somewhere else.

Lots of research going on at the moment but I'd like to make outdoor cooking a bit of a feature of the trip and so any advice in that respect would be great. 

I think I've settled on a Coleman duel fuel camping stove which runs on unleaded:

I'd like to use it to make a brew a few times a day, as well as cooking breakfast and dinner.

Ideally I'd like to do a fry up English breakfast in the morning and another meal in the evening.

Can anyone confirm if the stove is up to the job or not? Good choice?

How do you store fresh food like sausages, bacon and eggs? Coldbag good for a couple of days? I'd rather not have to go to civilisation everyday as it's at odds with the wild camping live simply adventure theme.

Any suggestions for nice meals I can cook in the evening which can be done practically on just the one burner?

I know I can survive on freeze dried or boil in the bag but where's the fun in that?!

I can highly recommend the stove I used to have one until it was nicked.

Boils a pan of water twice as fast as butane stoves and frys up a cracking breakfast in Billy cans,
On tour in Scotland, another in the party had a Butane stove and we ended up just using it as a hot plate and cooked on the unleaded.

I carried a piece of tube which I used to siphon fuel from the bike tank to fill the stove.
Was getting a days riding and breakfast for 4 from a tank
