Endorse it in Dorset Festival 2008 (with ADDED POLL!)

[spanglechick]

You're not going to be able to park right next to your tent y'know

Someone we camped with last year had one though, and they were good

i know. but i don't think the're that much bigger. and in the grand scheme of all the other crap i'll be bringing o) it pales into insignificance.

I thought gnocchi bolognaise... (pre cooked bolog, natch)

edit - or fried egg sandwiches

or bacon butties

mmm. foood.

 

[Biddlybee]

Coffee, tea and noodles for me.... and maybe something frozen (like chilli) if I can be arsed

 

[mr steev]

both those stoves are quite wobbly though - for standing on grass and balancing things on top.

i was looking at one of these:

which you can also get for about a tenner (plus a couple of quid for the gas).

I've got one of those. Have had it for a couple of years and it's served me well. They're not too good for making pancakes unless you do them with a fresh full canister ime, but fine for everything else.

... oh, and the case is not sturdy enough to sit on!

 

[boohoo]

Well, I need a light stove - not too heavy - water/ food making... I do like the little camp stove...

 

[Crispy]

you're soooo sensible...

festy food is over priced and often too rich. i'm not gonna take tooo much food - just some things that makes life slightly cheaper.

Exactly... some tea, coffee, noodles... not very heavy and save you a few pennies

Pancakes are a peice of piss though, and you can make and eat several in the time it takes you to wander off, find some, queue, buy (ONE) and eat it. (and the bought ones generally don't come with Green & Blacks chocolate spread )

So surely that leaves more time for drugs and cider?

I like Trangia stoves. You can get gas ones or spirit ones. Windproof, rain proof, stable and very efficient. You also get a load of pots and things to cool with. They're £40 but will last you a life time and the parts have been the same for the past 60 years or so. So you'll be able to buy parts for a long time yet.

i get ravenous at festivals. I need serious carbs. noodles do not cut it - other than as a snack.

yeah trangias are the shit for camping. mainly because of the funky kettle no more trying to pour boiling water from a wobbly saucepan into a cup.

spirit ones are the best i think, no canisters needed.

Yup and best of all should you run of money and booze you can drink the meths

if you bring enough drugs you won't need to eat, surely?

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

last year i took 2 big watermelons (nostalgia of glastonbury )

2 pineapples, oranges apples grapes french stick frozen skimmed milk for me morning cuppa tea - shame our gas burner wasnt in the box when i bought it,

lots of snacky stuff like pringles champagne juice chocolate

 

[boohoo]

that's not for me... yuck, yuck... last time I took lots of speed, I was off work for a week...

I''ve used on of these before - they are cool. Probably a good investment...depends on my want to go camping too many times again...

 

[dolly's gal]

double-bonus! surely you were mega chuffed with a result like that

I think your stove'll be fine, just out it between two bricks if it wobbles. Those flat ones that look really sturdy spangles posted can be a nightmare to get canisters for IME.

I thought boohoo's was a trangia at first. They're great but I don't like the smell!

I've got a mage old bluet Gaz stove that fits in it's own tin with spare gaz, it's survived the last 20 years I dare say it'll survive the next!

depressed, broken and ill is not something i aspire too...

I was taken days off work anyway under the boredom rule...

this is the point I was trying to make really.

it's a weekend long party in a field, not the fucking ideal home show

 

[zenie]

Chill out JTG people can do whatever they like

Chill out mate, what's wrong with taking a gas stove and a few bits of food so you can save some money?

And if you can be arsed to carry an air bed, then why not? They're comfier than rollmats!

 

[dolly's gal]

no really, I'm not interested in stuff, material possessions or unnecessary crap.

yeh! fuck the system!

 

[boohoo]

all I want is a little stove to save some money on coffee or food -is that such a sin?

(reminds self not to let JTG have nice cuppa tea...)

 

[JTG]

so zenie making daft assumptions about me and me expressing a point of view means I need to chill out then?

yeah ok
