The double cooker stew chili and rice/new cordage-Foodcraft

Been doing a lot of cool trips, hiking in Philippines, Jungle in Mexico, took a jungle survival class in the Filipino jungle, went to Las Vegas for SHOT Show, and many short trips on the East coast. I hope I have time to post some trip reports before the next big trip, but for now…!


FOODCRAFT


The temperatures over the last few weeks have been well below freezing, then back to fall like temperatures, with snow making a rare appearance every now and then. However, adventure in food has stayed consistent.





When not in the mood for a big ol fire, I just use my hobo coffee can stoves and some new cookware to make stew, sliders, rice, and chicken.

While in Asia, I scored a cool cook set from a Japanese store made of stainless steel. It just happens to be the lightest stainless steel I’ve ever held. It is still heavy, by my standards, but hey…it was $2.










Chicken Stew







Extra chicken was grilled on the large hobo stove





The double cooker in action. Hot water for coffee and the smaller hobo stove is cooking the stew…







I’m a firm believer in chopsticks. If it can’t be picked up with chopsticks, then it can be sipped by holding the bowl/container. Makes things simple!

















SPAM sliders with Hawaiian roll.











Plastic Ribbon cordage is the thing to use in the Philippines…Super strong, unbelievably light and cheap!

 

Carved this snow fossil









Warming log-cabin fire






The creek was frozen solid…






Chili & Rice





I used the bottom and top tray to cook rice and chili at the same time…sort of!














Mix and enjoy!






Brew!

Agreed. Bear you rock dude. I always enjoy your photos. Do us low mortals a favor? Use your influence on The good folks at TKC and ask when, if ever, we might see some G-10 for the RB3. The micarta is awesome but she's a hevi girl to tote round in the summer.

 

You mean you actually use it?
I have no influence, sorry.

I love your posts. Good to see you back again.

 

Oh yeah....good stuff! Bugs, cryogenically frozen for a later meal. You do it all!

 

Proper planning.

I got it at ACE, but overseas. Not sure if it is available here, but really good cordage.

A passable substitute might be surveyors ribbon. Stuff last for years hanging outside. It's stretchy so several wraps....

 

Great stuff as usual RB, any way I can get more info on the bucket? Is it just a random bucket or what?

 

Aluminum bucket in the food section of a world market. Haven't seen another like it yet.

I´m a huge fan of this kind of thread.

 

I think you need to put the spam in an Italian roll and smother it with the chili. Awsome thread and pictures.

 

Thank you sir.

I may try that...sounds like something JV3 or I would do!

Our drip irrigation at work is similar to that. Stuff is pretty damn strong and will stretch a bit before breaking. Probably 100-200 breaking strength.

 

Mate I love your threads usually some nice little tips in the pictures and so entertaining, to me anyway. That cook set looks like a great pick up
