    I have been wondering, does anyone make buckwheat pancakes or use this flour for a heartier Bannock in the back country? As a young boy, I used to love using this flour to make very hearty pancakes. It has been a very long time since I experimented with making them in the bush, or making a...

    Twig Stoves: Experiences, Opinions and Pictures

    Sweeper, I have always been a little curious about the Kelly Kettle, and not until I looked again at your pictures did I realize they did more than boil water. Do you use the "hobo stove" or the pot stand often to cook meals, or primarily just use the kettle to boil water. I guess there...

    Twig Stoves: Experiences, Opinions and Pictures

    Glenn, Could not find the pics I was looking for so I took 3 off my deck today. This is a 1 quart pot, and a solo stove - the smallest one. It is great, but most of my trips I take the next size up. It does a much better job - cooks faster, makes coffee way faster so when I cant decide...

    Oops Glenn, in the picture post, I have not included a picture of the cook pot the stove nests in. I will see if I can find one. Bob

    Not really Glenn. The top of the stove that supports your pot, is removed, flipped upside down and nests inside the burner. Your alcohol stove will fit inside as well. I put the stove inside my cooking pot so that helps to reduce pack volume, but it does not really disassemble. Bob.

    Twig Stoves: Experiences, Opinions and Pictures

    Here are some picks of my solo stove - very efficient, does not scorch the Earth, but is a little heavy . Also - works well with an alcohol stove - great for fire bans if not wanting to use a gas stove.

    Alan, great post! The first pics are of a littlbug, maybe a littlbug Jr.? It is a tremendous stove, I have used both a lot. Robin here trips with one and has many pictures of it in use. Glenn, I use a solo stove now. I use this stove now because it does not scorch the ground beneath it and...

    Food Staple Trail Cooking

    Calories seem to be most important item for me on a trip. Regular food seems to give me energy more so than pre-made offerings … So, regular food like those carried in the olden days for me include eggs … although in a plastic container to protect against breakage. Bannock true, but cooked in...

    Dog Stories

    You are correct, if you are not dog people, you just do not understand what it is like when the family dog is put down. Having lived through this, my sincere condolences. Losing such a special dog can be particularly devastating. Brownie looked like a tremendous canoe dog. Bob.

    Plus size canoeing?

    I forgot to add, when looking for a canoe, you may want to try one with foot braces. They are really helpful in fighting fatigue and getting the most power in your paddle stroke of you are not paddling from a kneeling position. Bob.
