I'm using the daily burn free nutrition tracker right now to lose weight. It tracks what I eat as I put things in with calorie/protein/fat/carb goals. So far I have lost about 20 pounds just by doing this because it makes me make better choices.

Nice work! I steam-bake all the time when I camp. I make it as easy on myself as I can. I use "Bisquick Complete" mixes (like this , this and this ) and make muffin-sized breads, rather than pan or loaf-sized breads. They cook all the way through a bit quicker that way. I use a Ti cup/pot and lid a...

Hi all, Has anyone here ever tried baking yeast bread on your camp stove? I've been unable to get out lately due to weather and sme other factors so I decided to fiddle around a bit and this is what the result was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvPRItPz-NY Thoughts? Comments? How could I do this be...

Picked up an LMF II for about $70

Picked up a used Kifaru G1 Express in OD, now the waiting for it to arrive!

It is going to be for a cross between a GHB and a BOB since I can't afford to have two separate bags at this time.

I just about have Mk II together (been a busy time period for me) and will be trialing it. I will definitely post the same kind of things about the second iteration. Bonus: I have a food saver now so I'll probably be vacuum sealing things that don't really need to be just because I want to play with...

This topic was so vital it needed to be posted twice.

I just purchased a trangia swedish army set.

seems like white is a newer product, but I dont know. I bought some black and white. Will experiment and do a review. Seems very promising. Your imagination is your only limit. The thing that kinda turns me off is the 6 month shelf life. Not something you could keep in the bottom of a tool box or i...

Almost impulse purchased some. If by later tonight I still think it is cool I will order it.

Why would the coloured ones be cheaper than black and white?

Picked up a Swedish Army Trangia set on eBay for about $20. Been wanting one for a while now but wasn't willing to pay the usually insane cost for them. My set arrived yesterday. Having seen it in person I can now fully understand why they are so liked. Although I have not done a "burn test" I can ...

This thread has induced me to acquire one off ebay. Can't wait to see it in person and start using it.

Mountain Equipment Co-op (Canada) has free shipping for a while for all web orders.

For 13 bucks plus shipping, I figured what the hell... http://store.oldgrouch.biz/samealpa.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Yeah, sorry for not posting what it was for. I ordered a few things besides the medium ALICE pack. A FAK, a michette and a 3 pack of alcohol stoves. This wa...

The thought just occured to me today, is there a reason that nobody seems to include protein powder (Whey, Soy, whatever) in their BOB/disaster food supplies? It seems to me it would be a highly weight economical means of getting lots of protein.

So what gives?

Very glad you're ok WW. But for future reference, the correct response to this situation is:

If only it didn't cost upwards of $30 to get one to Canada

I have some ideas in mind on how to improve on this pack but it will involve hitting the grocery store for a specific shop this time. I had originally set out on the concept of doing this with what was at hand but have shown that what I have in the house for daily consumption is not the same as woul...

Well this test is a failure. It is 1800, I have some sunflour seeds, a granola bar, and a fruit leather left only and I'm starving and my wife wants me to bring home dinner. So this pack was full of fail, just not enough food. Also I noticed that it was almost completely carbs.... I was starting to ...

So I'm part way through my test of this (just finished lunch) and I just remember something..... I HATE tomato soup, I don't know why I didn't remember that until I took the first sip.

More exciting updates and a more thorough AAR to come!

I think rather than try to sit here and armchair nitpick my own creation, I'm going to take it as-is and see how it stands up to a 24hr period of using only that. My one exception will be I will use a microwave to cook with since I will be at work, but really being able to cook it over a tablet stov...

I live in Ontario, Canada. That is a good point about freezing, I honestly did not consider it. Maybe I should consider something like Ramen noodlies in lieu of the soup for example? Would take less weight too.

This is designed to be a one-cup meals type full day's ration. Yes I know that the calorie count isn't super high, yes I know the weight is high on this. What I did was go to my cupboards and work with what I can find, I did no specific shopping for this. I have the idea that this would be kept in a...

Looks like a standard Trangia brand burner to me. If that is the case, you can't beat it IMO
