Nice bit of filming there Tunnie, well done

Cheers, I actually shot about 4 hours worth of footage on the way back, just chucked a few bits together.

If your bored you could always watch some of the full chunks, this ones good as its nice and Sunny!

Just spotted the price on the food packet. 

About as cheap as they get 

I did wonder about getting some canned food which is a hell of a lot cheaper and bag it up, but its mess & hassle.

I guess the problem is that you'd need some sort of sealable bag that you can boil. I reckon you need to have Mick Dundee and Kate following you with a different curry each night.

I was going to suggest that when I used to do a bit of walking I used to carry a tin or two of sausages in beans or the breakfast in a can etc, much cheaper..

I have tried tinned food, the problems I found were:

* Storage on the bike, can't take many.
* Weight, they are a considerable weight when there are a few of them
* Mess, this is key after putting food in, jet boil needs cleaning. (so   have to bring plate washing stuff

But it is cheaper, not sure I would trust DIY bags of food in boiling water for 10 minutes  :-/

Overtaking on Double solid white lines, good job H21 is not watching...

I got 3 points and a fine iirc.....when i did that years ago...at about your age tunnie .... pc plod was sat eating donuts, i believe, and saw me dunnit  i didnt see them until too late

Although none of us could kid ourselves that beanz & sausage could be considered finest cousine I used to quite enjoy them on toast, that was till I worked so closely with them. 

Just imagine a tinned sausage after it's spent a week or so lodged inside a filling machine.  Sad photo'ing them but I felt that it had to be done! 



please excuse the crappy phone photo.

Well.. that's the last time I'll eat beans & sausages out of a tin! It looks like a fox turd..

There are some things we are better off not knowing, particularly in food processing / factories etc.....

Many years ago I had to do some work in the VILLA Pop factory, ever bought anymore of their make again....

KP factory was OK though.....

Good work Tunnie, enjoyed that.

Just spotted the price on the food packet. 

  Good grief !!   No wonder you'll be on a budget, after paying that much for a snack.
Anyway, it's Scotland not Outer Mongolia. I doubt you'll be going 10 days between food outlets.

Popped out to Tesco, worth while little trip, spotted these Curry pouches:



Does not say its boil in bag, empty in a pan and heat for 5 mins, but the plastic is very thick, as good as the 'special' camping meal i bought other day. Should last 5 mins in boiling water easy!



A bargain at just 50p each!  - On offer!

Going to try one at home, in case they explod in a big mess! I decided to stock up as at that price still have them at home if they don't boil well.

Boil in bag rice too, 80p for 4 packets!



So 70p for a camping dinner, if they work, back in student mode

Make a small hole at the top to let the steam escape

Not a bad idea, the other pouch did not have one, that was just warmed for about 7 minutes or so.  :-/

50p !!  That's more like it.    
I've seen other similar products in Tesco. I think Thai Green curry is one.

And for 50p it tasted much better than the 'special' camping meal, good news is they work!

First I boiled the rice in its bag for 15 mins, they carefully popped in the sauce packet. I was half expecting it to burst as its not boil in bag branded, but just 5 mins, and it was nice and hot!



Put in 2/3's of the rice...



Tasted delicious! Good chucks of chicken, which did not taste rubbery, really good flavour, much better than Wayfayrer 'special' camping pack, this was much more filling and was 80% cheaper!

Yeah, £3.50 will buy a fry-up at most truckstops, and you don't have to supply the gas.

Doubt there are many truck stops in Glencoe
