    I can only scratch the surface of such a huge topic like Motorcycle Camp Kitchen Setups but I wanted to get this out there to encourage some people who maybe haven't tried to make more than dehydrated meals at camp to step out of their comfort zones a little.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    Coffee is a must. I manage a Starbucks Café, so multiple shots of espresso multiple times a day are definitely a necessity (aka addiction). Although for camping I have a Wacaco minipresso that uses hot water, a Nespresso capsule and a few pumps to get great tasting shots.

    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!

    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.

    COFFEE!!! Another great episode. It’s difficult to address the highly personal aspect of cooking. I have spent SO many nights on the trail & the one thing that has become a line in the sand for me is having a pot that is ONLY water, no food. It seems the flavor of what was cooked last finds its way into beverages & I’m not a fan... one dedicated water pot & others for “cooking.” Peace

    I can second the MSR dromedary bag, along with the miniworks pump filter that you can get with it. I've had one for like 10 years, and only had to rebuild the pump once ($27)
    i actually have 2 bags, and both of them other than being a little dirty, have 0 signs of wear. Pump still operates great. Used at least 100+ times

    I camp half the time during my trips but have never carried anything to cook at the campsite, I always eat before getting there. in the morning I drink water or Gatorade or juice with a couple of hand full of nuts before I get going and stop for a late breakfast / lunch.
    Great info, I might have to start cooking!

    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...).

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.

      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.

    IF you are crossing the US/ Canada border....you will need to pick up at least 2 more canisters before you go north. They didn't have that in Canada from talking with the hardware store staff. Of course I ran out there too. It made cooking interesting for a little bit.
