露營煮白飯

城市人慣咗用電飯煲,露營時要明火煮飯有啲難咁,不過其實都不太難。

預水方面,要比電飯煲多少少,或者其實當係一樣亦可!有人怕太軟,又有人鍾意軟,所以難以定論!再者,唔同既米亦有分別,所以總意係跟電飯煲一樣,再稍稍加多少少!

若用 gas 爐加鋁製 cookset 呢,基本上煲滾水一陣,然後打開搞混佢,然後再滾返,跟住離火焗就掂晒!萬試萬靈... 離火期間再煮餸,掂晒!

若用 titanium cookset 呢,就千祈唔好用 gas 爐!要用酒精爐!



有人以為 titanium 傳熱快,所以唔可以太火,其實呢個諗法錯晒!事實上,鈦傳熱係慢!但鈦鍋做得比較薄,所以感覺以為佢傳熱快唧!另一方面,鈦煲傳熱慢,所以熱力集中某些位置,好快就燶,又俾到人錯覺!

所以 titanium 配酒精就好!因為火比較慢!

講返煮飯,titanium 因為做得薄所以快滾,所以用返 gas 爐加鋁 cookset 煮法啲米會唔透心!解決方法有兩個,基本上係異曲同功!方法一:預先浸耐啲先煮佢!方法二:煮完再焗耐啲!



記得屋企做吓實驗先!因為唔同既爐,唔同的 cookset 都有分別,大家必需要對自己既工具有啲認識,先會用得好!屋企試咗,再出郊外試就穩啲,費事去到露營先至無得食喇!

Camping season again soon

Temperature drops a bit, time let me re-think different sub-systems:

1. Packing: the back pack, food storage, cookset packing, rubbish bag, etc

This is so far the weakest link, need to fine tune or upgrade


The above is the latest addition, it is a 36L 1.02kg backpack.  This one will be reserved for hiking and camping trips.  For camping alone trips, I will go back to my 75L backpack which is more than two times heavier.

2. Sleeping: the tent, sleeping bag, sleep pad, pillow, the pump, etc

Completed, not much room to improve.

3. Cooking/eating: stove, fuel, bowl, pot, cup, etc

Wind shield is not the best for all-in-one stove, otherwise good enough.

Fry pan could be improved too.

4. Water: bottle, filter, water bag, etc

Completed.

5. Lighting: headlamp, LED ribbon, tent light, peg light?...

Completed, and these are the latest additions.



6. Power: battery pack for fan, mobile phone, light...

Completed.

7. Others: fan, fly, hammer ...

Completed.
