Bike Tours: Packing a Stove

Video Transcript

"Alright. We're continuing with packing the bags, we packed the rear pannier. I want to make sure that, we remember kind of where stuff is, it can be frustrating sometimes. Particularly, if you're in inclement weather, and you've got to set up camp really quickly. So, for cooking you know, if you're planning on being totally self-sufficient on your tour, you'll want a stove, a stove's a really nice thing to have. I know when I get up in the morning at camp, whether it's in a state park, city park, somebody's backyard or out in the woods, you know, a stoves a really nice thing to have. Get you that, cup of warm, hot cocoa or coffee in the morning. So a stove is a nice thing to have. Just throw that in there, pack it in. Okay, if you are going to make food, you need some kind of, some kind of pot. Light is right, so this is a titanium pot. And what I like about this too is, that you can fit some things, you know, you can store things inside the pot. So here I have a very compressible spork. It's like the Kentucky Fried Chicken version, on steroids. It's titanium, it's very light, it just kind of a fun little toy. And then, I can fit my gas canister inside this titanium pot. So, kind of like that, put that all together. Throw it in the stuff sack. And again, if light is right, that means that everything is, you need to think about everything you put in, on your bike. Even stuff sacks sometimes, end up being something you want to get rid of."
