If you don't want to contend with eggs, you can use 1 cup self raising flour, 1/4-1/3 cup castor sugar, 2 tbsp custard powder. Put that in the bottle and add water to make into a batter and you have camping pikelets without egg etc.

Great idea. I would do this for everything. Remember its your holiday as well. Take cans of fish. Try dried meat, buy that at camping stores, great time to try something new. Enjoy your trip.

Glamping., I so like this idea!. In the States glamping is big. People rent a cabin in the woods with a spa, comfy beds, gorgeous outdoor furniture etc. People come in with amazing food and cocktails to serve them as they lounge around infront of the fire - nice
that would be soo nice if we didn't have the kids lolmanaged to pick up a new solor shower today for $12.95 from the plastic box & while I was there found a unbrella stand for $2.50 :-)

oh while I think of it. Sunny's as its called here or one of those $2 type shops have camping gear. i have picked up the egg carriers and a couple of other things for a lot less than what I would have paid at the camping specialist stores. If you have a pot with a steamer, or a large pot that will fit a metal colander in, (so it works like a steamer), take this as a way to cook vegies, potatoes and root vege in bottom and peas or similar on top.

we used to have roast rolled pork when camping on our hooded bbq the smell was devine wafting through the trees as we were coming back from the beach and having a bit of a giggle while walking past other campers seeing what they were eating

Great idea, think we need to invest in a second one.Just out of interest, where do you purchase a chilly bin that works for longer and roughly how much is it worth?

Oh and I've just remembered Warehouse has them sometimes too...

I second that. It can also be used to bake fresh bread, if you're allowed a fire. We used to take away a home-made bread mix which just needed water adding. Once it's risen and kneaded, place it in the dutch oven, rise it again, then scrape out a place in the fire where there are good embers. Put the dutch oven in the embers and more embers on top of the lid. Bread will probably be cooked in about 20 minutes.... just keep checking. Cut off hunks and slather it with butter.....LOL Another hint..... the cheap polystyrene (sometimes under $10) chillybins are better at keeping frozen food frozen than any fancy plastic covered chillybins, if they are well sealed. I buy them from my butcher. Yes, they can be broken with rough handling, but at that price they are good value.
