Outdoor food in our Equipment sale focuses on reliable, trail-ready solutions. Here you will find freeze-dried meals, meal kits, breakfasts and quick snacks alongside compact cookware, mess kits, utensils and insulated bottles that keep cooking and eating at camp straightforward.

Lightweight meals prioritise long shelf life, balanced calories, and quick preparation. Many options just need hot water, with clear portion sizes for solo use or groups. Look for dietary details such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free, plus rehydration times and total calories per pack to plan energy for day hikes, treks or expeditions.

Cooking equipment covers practical camp kitchens: nesting pots and pans, lids, heat exchangers and wind protection that improve boil times and fuel efficiency. Materials vary. Titanium keeps weight low for backpacking, hard-anodised aluminium balances weight and durability, and stainless steel offers robust longevity. Simple utensils, sporks and compact cutting boards complete a tidy mess kit.

Fuel and stove compatibility matter in changing conditions. Gas canister systems are convenient and fast; liquid fuel stoves perform steadily in cold and high altitude; solid fuel is minimal and reliable for emergencies. Pack fuel safely, add a windscreen where allowed, and check ignition methods if you prefer built-in piezo or separate fire starters.

Hydration and hot drinks are part of outdoor food planning. Filters, purifiers and tablets support safe water on the move. Coffee makers and tea presses built for the outdoors pair with insulated mugs and flasks for heat retention. Consider volume, weight and cleaning ease when choosing bottles and containers.

Storage and hygiene help keep camps tidy. Resealable pouches, lightweight containers and odor-control solutions make packing efficient. Use biodegradable soap, scrub gently, and follow Leave No Trace by packing out all waste and keeping cooking away from water sources and wildlife.

When choosing from this selection, match meals and cookware to trip length, group size, climate and pack weight. Check expiration dates, allergens and preparation steps. For cookware, consider capacity, nesting, and handle security. For stoves and fuel, confirm compatibility and expected boil times.
