Camp Oven Apricot Chicken

By

Sticking to the one pot camping meals using cast iron camp ovens (or just a saucepan, if that's all you've got) this is another amazing recipe and what makes it better is that it's just so simple and cheap. I also make it a home - I guess it's just a general all-round-little-ripper.

Apricot Chicken

Ingredients:

1 Pkt French Onion Soup Mix (any brand will do)

1 Tin Apricots in Syrup (if use a large tin if you are feeding an army)

Chicken - either left overs, fresh or BBQ'd - your choice

Salt & Pepper

*** if you want you can also turn this into a sweet curry version, like Mango Chicken Curry, only this one is Apricot Chicken Curry by adding curry powder to taste.

Method:

Cut the chicken into small pieces

Empty the tin of Apricots in syrup into a bowl, smash the apricots into small pieces or mash them up in a bowl using a fork and add the packet of French onion soup mix.
Brown the chicken in the camp oven (if using fresh raw chicken) and then add the apricots and the soup mix. If you are using leftovers then just whack the whole lot in to pot and simmer away. Should you decide you want to turn this into a curry add the curry powder at the same time you are browning the chicken.

Cook until chicken is cooked through and serve with rice, or mash potato or even just eat it on it's own. Yummo

Down Sleeping Bags Low Down

Lets get the low down on down. If you have ever spent a night outdoors, either camping or hiking and you spent the whole night shivering and desperately awaiting the sun rise, then you understand the need for a quality sleeping bag with the right temperature rating. Down are the fine under-feathers that provide superior insulation and warmth in waterfowl (ducks, geese). Down has long been used as the epitome of warmth and luxury in beds, pillows, doonas, duvets, jackets and…. You guessed it, sleeping bags. Down as a filling is more expensive but has a better weight to warmth ration and can be packed down smaller than synthetic fills. And when cared for properly, a down sleeping bag can often last longer than synthetic sleeping bag. And price will vary greatly over the range of sleeping bags depending on the brand, quality, fill power and weight. Why can a Down Sleeping Bag last longer than a Synthetic Sleeping Bag? Down as a natural fibre is surprisingly resilient, and can with

4WD Drawer Bags

Most people think that the hardest part of hitting the road or any 4WD rebuild or re-vamp is going to be the vehicle. Speaking from experience that wasn't the case with us.  We knew exactly what we wanted for our Troopy, where to get it and how to install it, but what really eluded us was storage options. We knew that by installing a drawer system meant that we would need a storage solution that had flexibility, and we don’t just mean physically but essentially as well. The storage system would need to be versatile, to use with gear as well as food and clothing and preferably stackable to make the use of available space. Although we have a Troopy space is relative. We aren’t towing a van or camper and we also don’t have a rooftop tent, we sleep in the back, so everything needs to be well organised, stacked and stored.  We tried storage boxes, and these were good, but we couldn’t use all of our empty compartments on the front or the sides of the drawers, we tried other box styles as
