Start of the bivvy season for us southerners, just wondering what people are using for cooking / eating / drinking implements.
I'm after a small, light, cup-in-pot for heating a bit of brekky and a cup of tea (I'll probably get a little Hi-Gear stove like below as they are only £12.99 at Go-Outdoors)
Happy to fabricate something out of tin cans if necessary 🙂
+1 for Kelly Kettle.
Kelly kettle Trekker 1 pint (smallest one) 839g! Don't really fancy lugging that round on the bike, even if I could cook in a hurricane (which I shall be very careful to avoid having to do)
i've got a pocket rocket and an alpkit mug.
although i reckon that half of one of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000YESELO/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000YEU9NA&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0F3MQD69MW9YXAKGE4P1 ]these sets[/url] would be ace - loads of those in go outdoors too...
Cold food. Saves the hassle of carrying around stoves, fuel, pots, plates etc. Less to go wrong too.
Let me know how you get on with that HiGear thing, I've had an eye on one for a while.
GoSystem do one that looks almost identical too (the Fly). I've had a couple of GoSystem Trek stoves and they've been absolutely brilliant.

The Higear is fine - the bottom pivots can go wobbly though.
And any ghillie/storm/kelly kettle is too big to lug around on a bike....I have a wee .75lt storm and a bunch of 2lt ones at work. Ace things, especially on a wet cold night...but not small, or light. We cook on ours at times as well, but you do go through some amazing amount of twigs/wood - realistically you need to take a good knife and/or hatchet as well 🙂
