Dehydrator: A Game Changer
Essential Considerations for Documenting Your Adventure
In my quest to solve my food situation, I made a smart decision to invest in a dehydrator. It not only saved me a significant amount of money, bypassing the overpriced and uninspiring pre-packaged meals like Mountain House, but it also introduced me to the incredible offerings of tentmeals.co.uk. I had the pleasure of trying their products a few years ago, ordering a week’s worth, and being thoroughly impressed by their delicious taste and convenient pack sizes. It’s worth noting that this company was founded by world touring cyclists who spent three years exploring before establishing their business.
However, I encountered a slight hiccup when a friend house-sat for me. Despite leaving him with a well-stocked fridge and instructions to help himself to plenty of beer and food, he unexpectedly devoured all the boxes of dehydrated food from tentmeals.co.uk instead. He tried one, loved it, and couldn’t resist indulging in the rest. While it was an unforeseen turn of events, it speaks volumes about the remarkable quality and ease of preparation of these meals.
While the dehydrator proved ideal for local trips, I soon realized its limitations for year-long expeditions. This realization sparked my journey to discover simple, one-pot meals using basic ingredients readily found in most countries. Join me in exploring these irresistible recipes, specially crafted to enhance the joy of unforgettable bikepacking adventures.

Bikepacking Kitchen:
Empowering Delicious Adventures On The Road"
As I lay in my warm sleeping bag in the middle of the trail, writing this. I reflect on the evolution of my bikepacking kitchen over the years . It all started with a simple desire to create a setup that was as compact and lightweight as possible. Armed with a small pot and an alcohol stove, at the time i was going for ultra light approach and hydrated meals I had to overcome the challenge of finding fuel, especially in Muslim countries where even local chemists often had none to offer.
My entire outlook underwent a profound transformation after a conversation with Richard, a remarkable friend of mine. Richard, an experienced traveler cruising on his reliable trike and an exceptionally skilled chef by trade, shared his insights on world cycle touring. Intrigued by his nomadic lifestyle, I inquired about the things he missed the most from his home. To my astonishment, his response didn’t revolve around his loved ones, or the luxury of a cozy bed since he was well-equipped with a hammock for camping, and he effortlessly stayed connected with his family and friends through WhatsApp. Instead, it was the comforting embrace of home-cooked meals that pulled at the strings of his heart.
Intrigued by Richard’s revelation, I dedicated an entire year to perfecting my cook system. I invested in a Keith multi-pot, allowing me to steam rice flawlessly every single time without any fear of burnt pots. I also honed my skills in grilling burgers over a fire pit, and indulged in the goodness of a traditional English fry-up for a hearty breakfast. The results of my efforts have shaped my cook system into what it is today.
Motivated by the insightful advice of bikegirl, a highly respected blogger within the cycling community, I decided to embrace a simple rule: no snacking while riding my bike. Instead, I wholeheartedly adopted her approach of pausing my journey and indulging in a proper meal whenever hunger strikes. This mindset has proven to be incredibly beneficial, as I now opt for convenient yet gratifying choices such as wraps, salads, and sandwiches. By eliminating the need for a stove, cleanup becomes effortless, allowing me to swiftly resume my adventure without any hindrance.
If you’re curious about the wonders of my bikepacking kitchen, I invite you to explore it further. Discover the tips, recipes, and equipment recommendations I have gathered throughout my culinary adventures. Experience the joy of preparing real food on the trail and witness the transformation it brings to your bikepacking journeys. Come, step into my world and behold the magic of my thoughtfully crafted kitchen.

The Spice Bag:
Empowering Delicious Adventures On The Road"
The spice bag is the indispensable cornerstone of your staple ingredients on the road. Light, packable, and transformative, it empowers you to turn meager mini-market finds into palatable delights. To assemble one, gather a permanent marker, a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag (or a sturdy shopping bag), and tiny snack-sized plastic zipper bags or small twist-tie bags (if needed).
Fill each small bag with labeled herbs, spices, garlic, extracts, and bouillon cubes. Include a head of fresh garlic, bouillon cubes, and vials of vanilla and almond extract in the larger bag. Voilà! Your spice bag is ready to roll.
Here’s an alphabetical breakdown of suggested additions: basil, bouillon cubes, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, curry powder, fresh garlic, garlic granules, powdered ginger, nutmeg, cloves, onion powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and vanilla and almond extracts.
Remember, your spice bag may need occasional reorganization. Prioritize aromatic spices, replace worn bags, and embrace culinary experiments with spice blends and spilled remnants.
