Background
In September 2018 I walked from Canterbury Cathedral to Chaumont-en-Haut-Marne.
I thought I was reasonably well set up. In addition to the usual garbage I also had a two person tent (me and my pack) and a single sleeping pad: total weight less than 900 gram. All up walking weight is just on 7 kg, including water, tablet and some nibbles for the day. I am very used to that weight and loathe to add to it.
Of my 22 nights I stayed in gite or similar on 4 nights, pitched my tent on six nights and hotels for the balance. And that part was costly.
I regulalry need gite and hotels to recharge my tablet (large smart phone). For the technically minded this draws 2.4 amps compared to a typical 1 amp for a "normal" smart phone.
But I would like to add to my options by carrying the means to cook food.
My local research indicates:
1) burner, adjustable - 50 to 100 gram
2) butane (230 gram) and can - 370 gram total
3) pot set - 1 litre post and lid/fry pan - aluminium - 230 gram
I prefer to cook food bought locally every few days.
I prefer not to carry dehyrated meals (150 to 200 grams) to which is added boiled water (no cooking).
My question(s)
For those who prepared your own meals:
1) what was your equipment?
2) what was food did you prepare/cook?
