Water. Hot chocolate on a cold morning. Never liked coffee or tea. Get up and go. Working on camp packing for the bike. Trying to fit in a mini 6” Dutch oven. Experimenting on downsizing recipes. Used to a Boy Scout camp kitchen cooking for 10-15 people. Nothing beats lasagna and fresh bread on a camp out. I have ruined hot dogs and hamburgers for the camp go to meals for so many scout families. Will be testing things out this summer. Great video, looking forward to part 2.

To answer the coffee question: I am a coffee first thing in the morning person ONLY when at home. When I am on the road, I abstain from coffee altogether. Why? It is because I am 71 years old. Amanda, I really enjoyed this video. Honestly, you have a way of encouraging the best from your subscribers. As long as I have been riding a motorcycle I find I am never to old to learn something new..... and I do learn quite a bit from you. When I am on two wheels, I am in it for the entire experience, the good the bad and ugly. Every night at a camp isn’t a balmy star studded northern lights running wild type night. Rain is always a possibility, and yet, we all need to eat something if no more than boiling some water and pouring it into a bag of freeze dried chili and hope we can endure a night zipped up to the nose in our mummy bag...(think about it). I look forward to your seminar on cooking and camp kitchen recipes. Last year I made you an offer of a lobster and scallop dinner if you ever made it to Massachusetts, that offer doesn’t have an expiration date. Thank you for all that you do for us.... your fellow riders.

I made a small spatula I use for camping from a piece of maple. I was practicing my wood carving and made several. They work great. I also cut down the handle of a wooden spoon and added it to my kit. Both fit in my frying pan with a plate silverware, green scrubber, a few coffee filters, (if using for tp don't use for coffee, even if you think that that crap is good) and a lighter. In my Stanley pot I have my stove, another green scrubber, (I like green scrubbers) a lighter, and a cup. I make a kitchen pepper with a little salt black pepper, paprika, chili pepper, garlic powder, taco seasoning, (sift out the dehydrated onion from the taco seasoning, and discard), and onion powder. I reuse the little containers my test strips come in. I have salt in 1 and pepper in another. Keep the rubber side down.

Best kitchen item I carry is a GSI Outdoors folding camp toaster. I purchase my first camp toaster off the bargain table at a high end outdoor store for $1, though for a dollar if it was junk who cares for the price. I made hundreds of slices of toast with the toast, impresses people I am traveling with, hot toast for breakfast. A butane to propane adapter is worth it's weight in gold when you run out of fuel and butane cylinders are not available. When purchasing emergency propane try to find the short bigger diameter cylinders, they do not tip over like the tall skinny cylinders.

I’ve taken some 12,000-20,000 mile plus trips (with a truck, not a bike-yet) and the biggest problem I’ve been having with cooking on the road is the hot spot the camp stoves make in your pants or pots, to avoid it I have to turn the heat way down then it takes forever it seems.

Hi Amanda...great vid...lots to cover and ways to do it. I have an old cook book titled, 'Cooking on the Road' by John Rakowski. He covers everything you did but from the '70's. John traveled extensively by bicycle around the US and around the world, solo and with others and loved to cook and shares his and other's recipes as well as a bunch of other tips...you might find it interesting. Another veteran rtw cyclist was Ian Hibell who goes onto showing his travel kit and kitchen on yt vid 'Ian Hibell on the Blue Peter show.' Might find that interesting too.

Ferro rod as a back up lighter. Lights any flammable gas, liquid or gel. With a little practice also lights wood shaving or certain tree bark. small inexpensive reliable and nearly indestructible. Swiss army trailmaster (trekker in US?). Decent size locking stainless blade for food prep. Good can and bottle openers. Handy saw blade for small fire prep and ferro rod striker. Good video and info. 👍🏴

At home I have 600ml (a pint) of fresh vegetable juice, followed by a protein smoothie for breakfast, neither of which I can have when I'm moto-camping. So I switch completely and have muesli with lots of nuts (protein) which I add boiling water to when I first wake up. About halfway through packing up, I stop and have the (softened) muesli, plus some yoghurt and maybe blueberries or strawberries. I carry a small cooler bag for these and grab ice wherever I can to keep the fruit and dairy cool.

MUST have coffee person. The catch is I need something to eat with it. So, if I'm camping, that is likely to be something like a pop tart. I sort of giggled at the cleanliness part - I agree, really, but still sort of giggled. A friend I used to backpack with used to joke that at the beginning of a trip, it was picking every little thing out of a pot. Toward the end, it was just picking out the larger twigs that had fallen in. 😃One thing I wondered about was prompted watching you slice the onion. I assume you picked that up at a grocery store earlier that same day, anticipating what you were planning for dinner. The question is what you did with the extra onion (I'm assuming you didn't use the entire onion in a dish made for one.)

What, no sardines?😆 I have found the ultimate instant noodle. Indomie brand Mie Goreng flavor. Add some pre cooked meat or egg, with spinach or leaf lettuce, onion. They are spicy but not kimchee crazy😋 I find the liquid fuel stoves are messy. Love the pocket rocket. Who doesn't like a real fire to cook on, but most times I'm ninja camping and set up in the dark and wake up in the dark and leave. The only trace is the flat grass and tire tracks. Nope, don't need coffee in the morning.😎 The odd monster for maybe some extra miles in the dark, but gatorade and water is all I need. Wolf and Grizzly make a very compact grill. Made in Canada. P38 or the bigger P51 can openers will basically open anything.

Way better than the Show and Tell videos with the extra tips Amanda. Nice job! My gosh - yes - coffee in the morning. My hubby gets Hot Chocolate. My main kitchen bag - which comes on every trip is the coffee bag. Love the collapsible gear from Sea to Summit. I have the kettle and pour over cone. They nest together. I bring a few filters to slow the pour and get the favor out. For a weekend trip with a base camp, I’d bring my Super coffee kit which includes a Nano Presso and a travel size manual coffee grinder. Starbucks eat your heart out. It is a real treat to have designer coffee at camp. The kit takes up some space and preparing the coffee is a relaxing way to settle into the day and the next adventure. There is an investment in time - but well worth it. It’s not very practical on longer road trips when the need is to get on the road for the big miles - so it is a separate kit. I’m looking forward to the next one. Your videos are always so special and well done. Spring is almost here!

This is all so civilized! Although I own much of the camp cooking gear you have shown, I generally feel sufficiently impressed with myself if I boil water for coffee and freeze dried food. It’s miles beyond my Dharma Bums approach during hitchhiking days 50 years ago which primarily involved buying PBJ (including the kind with jelly mixed in with the PB) and a loaf of bread, making all of the sandwiches, and “pre-squishing” them in the correct direction in the bag in order to limit incorrect squishing while in my Kelty backpack. The lowest ebb was trying to use sunlight to make instant coffee on a group backpacking trip when the evil drill sergeant insisted on breaking camp and leaving before morning coffee. I walked ahead of the group and stopped to try using sunlight to make instant coffee on a warm boulder (a technique I cannot recommend...).

We just bought a Firebox burner as an option in case you run out of propane or you want to save your propane when you can cook with a mini wood flame. Also have Jetboil and a small MSR burner. Hey Amanda, I've been meaning to ask. Is that a dried up dead snake on your wall above the garage window? lol

Chiming in from the peanut-gallery. My bet would be a motorcycle chain. Let’s hear what Amanda responds with.....

Awesome! I don't think I've ever run out of propane at camp haha but then again I'm only cooking for myself. lol blackfoot16 got it right it's a motorcycle chain, I just feel weird throwing that stuff away when I have to change out parts, so it just gets added to the walls and put on shelves. You should see my dad's garage the walls are just all pull off parts from trucks and bikes XD

No insulation in my coffee mug. It’s just a cut down Nalgene bottle. It’s very lightweight. No insulation means I don’t have to wait as long to drink my coffee and it warms my hands.

I absolutely love the way you present topics. I fear I will not be as fun , entertaining and educational as you lol, that said I am just a dude with some cameras and big mouth lol if folks even watch my junk at all that will be a win lol. Thank you for yet another great series that I will use for my journeys this summer. I will be healthier happier and better fed on the road, for your efforts here. End screen crew, in da house!! My morning must begin with coffee. I have been drinking it since I was about 10 years old and I am happily addicted to it. I will need to find the coffee making method that works best for me. I do occasionally want a little tea, this is something I would have most certainly overlooked putting my kitchen together, Thank you again.

You're so good at this thing, Amanda! I want to grow up and be more like you someday! Must have coffee! Zombie without. Since I'm lactose intolerant, I found some non-dairy 3-in-1 packets that work well. We're often rushed for time so breakfast is usually oatmeal and dried coffee.

AWWW Nathan you leave the nicest comments. You wouldn't know that you've seen me piping mad in real life before 😜😂 I'm so glad you found a good alternative that works! haha I feel that rush though I feel like I'm lucky if I don't feel so rushed I need to get everything packed up and just eat a Protein bar for breakfast haha My goal for the IDBDR this summer is to actually eat breakfast and have my tea every morning. Even if that means we get out an hour or so later than I would have otherwise. Hopefully Matt, Marissa and Tara don't kill me in the process! :P I don't think Marissa will buuuut you know Matt he's a hyper puppy XD He'll be doing circles around me the whole time.

@@AstheMagpieFlies Your emotions make rational sense and that's the difference for me. I can tolerate reasonable reactions to situations. Especially when the folks having emotions are willing to talk about it and come to compromise or at least become less emotional through the process of expression and discussion. I can't tolerate intolerance and giving up. Folks who decide they're going to be a brat and not have a discussion are going to not involve me ever again. I mean it when I say that you inspire me. You have all of the parts of myself I'm working on and admire in you.

I'm in the "there is life before coffee but I don't recommend it" category. My wife gave me a t-shirt that depicts a grump cat holding a mug with the phrase "Death Before Decaf." My usual setup for that for motorcycle camping is pour-over with a Sea To Summit X-Brew. I also have a couple X-Mugs. My wife managed to cook eggs in a Stanley pan over my MiniMo without burning it somehow. I don't know what arcane magic that involved! Because I do a mixture of motorcycle and car camping, the latter largely because my wife can't do motorcycles, even as a passenger, I now have two stoves: the Jetboil I mentioned and a two burner propane stove. I tend to take both when we car camp as the Jetboil is great for boiling water for coffee or tea, etc.

@@AstheMagpieFlies As small packing ones go I like it. It does mean a little compromise, though, but not bad. I used it as my daily one for a while until I got the Stanley. I just use regular pre-ground filter coffee so I'm hardly a connoisseur.
