Msr alpine deluxe cook set
Saw these the other day browsing online, look well tidy! Add in the MSR kitchen utensils and stuff and you've got everything you need for good cooking on the ground.

However

I'm also very swayed by the Trianga 25

Yes I have the utensils they are very good added bits and bobs in the case aswell like a mini spice set fits great
Just because your living outdoors doesn't mean you can't eat good tasting food lol
I'm looking at a new biolite stove to keep in my bag I usually just cook over a fire or when I'm on the move a little hexi stove for a brew but this looks pretty cool it eave charges phones batteries and lights etc by converting heat into energy pretty cool piece of kit only down side it's a little bit pricey at £120 but in the long run it could save money here's the link

Another little thing I find handy are SPLASH water flavouring. It's the rough size of a tictac tin and flavours 15 ltr of water I always have them on me they are full of vitamins and energy to keep you going I get them from tesco for around £1.50 but I'm sure you will find them in other stores aswell
I am going to have look for these as I am always trying to increase my water intake. I always have problems with this. Its pity that beer doesn't rehydrate you!!!

They are very good just adds a little pleasant taste to water from natural sources
Yes that's the downside to beer however I do always carry a half bottle of jack Daniels to keeps me amused lol a little nip at night gives you a great sleep and a little heat :)

I use these:

Handy single serving sachets that make 1.5 litres - fill the Sigg bottle nicely

Great flavours (apart from the Almond) and can be made up as a hot or cold drink with water or milk. :)

No affiliation etc.....
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.
