Switching the Kitchen

Ok winter is over and it wasn’t a huge one for me for several reasons. I don’t live in the past so onto summer adventure.

I camp in my van (a 1994 Delica L400 SpaceGear) all year long, but I use different set ups for my kitchen depending on the season. When winter car camping I use a system based on a MSR XGK white gas stove as well as a World Famous Portable Gas Stove that runs on butane.

The XGK is used to boil water for my morning coffee (a huge part of getting things moving in the morning) as well as the water I will bring along for a day of ski touring.

The World Famous I use to make breakfast using a cast iron fry pan. You need to keep the butane canister warm (I keep it in the cooler -that I use to keep things from freezing- and then put it in my inside pocket when I get up), but it simmers well for cooking eggs. And I need a big trucker breakfast for a day of winter mountaineering. I use the frying pan and a plate to poach eggs in salsa & tomatoes, topped with grated old cheddar. I put some soft corn tortillas on top of the cheese and let everything steam under the plate. To this I add some prosciutto as it’s thin and it doesn’t need to be cooked (I find frying bacon to be too messy to bother with and another topic for the kitchen -cleaning up).

So, I use the XGK only in the winter as I don’t need to melt snow or boil water as much in summer. I mainly use the World Famous for most of my summer car camping cooking as it is just so damn easy to set up and use. If I want to really live it up I will make my coffee in a french press with fresh ground beans.

But, I always have my summer backcounty kitchen in the van if I need extra cooking power on the road.

I like to cook on the fire when I can and that why I usually travel with a grill. I recently found some rotisserie motors I needed for making a rotational molder and discovered the square skewers that they come with. I found a grill that attaches to the skewer and this works great for fire roasting on the road (I’d take it sea kayaking).

All right, you all know how this works (ha). I post shit and try to get back and fix it but I’m lazy so it’ll never get finished, but here is some more shit to consider. This IMCO lighter is the fucking best lighter I have ever owned. Austrian military, the originals were made out of shell casings. They are no longer made and hard to find (this one came from Japan). I was just in Austria, Slovakia, The Czech Republic and Germany and I could not find another.
