We’ve used Batchelors pasta and sauce sachets of different types using ordinary milk, not bad, have added grated cheese or chopped sliced ham or cooked chicken to make more of a meal. I’ve found Nido mixes better in cold water, it doesn’t go so lumpy, put a couple or spoonfuls of Nido with water in...

Batchelors Pasta n Sauce sachet. Verdict - not great. This is one that you are supposed to add milk to. I used Nido. This diluted fine with the boiling water. But it was still crunchy after 5 minutes stirring, and even 10. I microwaved it for a minute at that point, added a bit more boiling water an...

Got some Geer Aid Tenacious Tape instant repair patches delivered. My old similar ones have gone over the approximate 5 years it's best to give these sort of things. I ordered a pack 19, but they sent six packs! So one is in the BOB repair kit and the rest in the prep room. They are for repairing te...

Managed to trash one side of my rear axle. Fortunately a good mobile bike mechanic lives near by, I discovered today. I put a hex in and it seemed to fit, but I think it is a torx. Hex slipped. I tried a torx, and it stripped. Hopefully the other side is ok, as I didn't put much force on that, and g...

BOB suggestion....on a hill walking/camping weekend i’ve eaten tuna chunks in oil mixed with Wetabix, Filling...... but certainly not cordon bleu :shock: Obviously it’s an acquired taste :mrgreen: Interesting! Got various mac n cheese from Sainsburys today. Some need milk so I'll crack open the Nid...

Inspected loft with light off. Few bits of light, but pretty certain they are coming sideways, from next door, who I don't think has any slates on the front, and maybe the very top at the back. So that's good news. You can see through a membrane in daylight with the light off, so if there was any bi...

Got a few deliveries. New CO meter for room above boiler. New tube of seam sealant for tent in bug-out bag. New bike inner tubes, narrower. Going to try a faster tyre, just on the rear for now. New packable cycling rain jacket. New trunk bag rain cover. It is very difficult to get on, so I've ordere...

Found one large Batchellors Mac N Cheese in a pot. Expires in 2 days! So I'll be testing that today or tomorrow. The volume is an issue, but actually my main BOB is only half full. The idea is to probably use my bike, and use two panniers. The rucksack would stay mostly empty. So I could fit a coupl...

Yes, you can wash the bags out, in theory. I don't think I have any washing up liquid in my BOB. It's only aimed at survival for 3 days, so a few bags is easier. But I was using backpacking meals previously, which cook in their own bags. So I may add some W/U liquid. We use a simple system of wipin...

Incidentally, these freeze dried meals are extras. The core meals in my BOB are Seven Oceans ration bars. 2,500 calories, 500g. 9 bars individually wrapped. Actually it's 18 in 9 packages. Quite tasty, like shortbread. I'm going to buy a bag of nuts as well. You need calorie dense food that doesn't ...
