Cooking While Wild Camping

I'm not going to pretend these are earthmoving or particularly interesting, but if you're looking for some incredibly cheap meals you can cook easily on a basic campstove, read on. I am a camping addict, with very little budget spare to actually feed myself while indulging in that addiction.

Equipment

Stove: You can cook everything from my recipe list below over a single-flame stove (in 2016, my partner and I spent two months living entirely off what I could cook on an OG Biolite Campstove).

That said, if you're still deciding what to buy, a double hob + grill setup will make life less obnoxious. We use a fifteen-year-old Campingaz Camping Chef when we want that kind of luxury.

Meals with shared short-life ingredients

These are recipes that neatly use up leftover ingredients that would otherwise go off. I tend to cook these together in the same week after a grocery order.
