Seriously you just put ground coffee in a pot of boiled water- it is simple and effective. Wait for grinds to settle and a couple of cold water drops… Boom coffee
I prefer to put the grinds in cold water and heat it up, stirring. Pull it off just before it boils.
Mi goreng and Tuna is a great staple of mine.
Lately Mexican bean/rice mix (Coles in-house brand very good) with tuna. Also delicious. Always take a small amount of hot sauce with you. Warms you up!

I’ve survived off Japanese vending machine food for the past 4 days hiking. Boss Coffee, Asahi and Calorie mate get it done.

Some good ideas and tips here
aimed at more the bikepacking end of the touring spectrum
^ some good ideas in there, nice find.
Why crush Pringles tho!
For the Goldfields Track 3 day trip recently I had:
- 3/4 cup of India Gate 2yr aged Basmati (if you’re not using this rice for all of your South Asian/Middle Eastern foods then do yourself a favour), with a handful of dried peas chucked in.
- Curry in a bag
- Cashews and chilli flakes
Method – put curry bag in a pot of water and bring to boil, then wrap the bag in a shirt and stick it in breast pocket. Oooo that’s toasty! Cover rice with cold water plus about 1.3cm and bring to boil, lid on. Take off stove and put it in the cozy, lid on the whole time. Wait a bit, then crack it open, cashews on top of rice, curry over that; eat. Yum. Yeah, it means cooking twice, but if you’re cooking on a fire fuel snot much of an issue. If you had two pots you’d cook the rice first.
- 2.5 cups of muesli mixed with powdered milk.
- ~45g of home ground filter coffee
Method – boil water, pour over coffee in the filter, then add the rest to half the muesli. I had plenty for two days worth.
-
Indomie Mi Goreng x2 (No explanation needed. I didn’t manage to scam some eggs, which make this meal 3 x as good).
-
An assortment of bars and snacks. A couple of bananas. A slice of spanakopita. A jam donut. A Musahi (or whatever) protein bar that I thought would be awful but was actually pretty good. A Clif bar. Killer Pythons (which are way better than Snakes Alive).
Overnight snow camp/mountaineering course food notes.
- Water takes ages to boil/melt snow (compared to regular temps)
- Much more of a priority on faster/simpler meals so you don’t have to be out in the cold too much
- Maybe worth investing in a hanger for a jetboil?
Ate lentils and pasta with curry powder and carrot/onion for dinner (my tent mate organised this and it took way too long to cook)
Had a sweet hot chocolate made with coconut milk powder!
Mixed quick oats and rolled oats for breakfast with some cinnamon and raisins, would have been better with some milk powder.
I went camping on the weekend on my own and pre packed a meal for saturday night. I ended up doing the spiced lentil soup as per the first page. It was more than enough for me. I visited the Tilba markets earlier in the day and sourced locally grown carrots and broccoli which I added towards the end. It would have been good to have some chorizo to chuck in. The best bit about it was chilling out on the beach cooking under a full moon.
That looks like a nice getaway Liam. I’m all about the chorizo/cured meats/sausage while camping now is an awesome way to add some flavours without increasing cook time.
How long does chorizo stay edible being baked all day in a pannier, or are you buying it and using it straight away?
