Uncle Ben’s Mexican 3 minute rice, tuna in those plastic packs (try it, it’s good, saves package weight), tiny tins of corn and/or red kidney beans and/or 4 bean mix (put back the package weight saved with the tuna), diced chilli. A dash of olive oil if the tuna wasn’t slippery enough.
Hey Albert...good idea to have a fresh chili on hand. Light weight and lots of (hot!) flavor. We have use the plastic packs of tuna...definitely a go-to option. Tho oil just seems to get everywhere...we just do butter now especially as it doubles for going on all our sandwiches lol
Get some epoxy and fibreglass cloth from a surfshop. Then use the existing cardboard egg containers and cover them with the resin and cloth. Let it set. Then you can actualy pack the eggs in your bags with no fear of them breaking.
Riding the South Island of New Zealand during the upcoming NZ summer.I could tell by the bird song and the ingredient brands used that you gals filmed this in NZ.I cooked the exact same meal using my bike packing cooking kit.turned out great and was delicious.🌝🌝😋
Every time you lifted the lid your food looked even more delicious! I bet the smells coming from the cook pot were mouthwatering. Thank you for this essential information, I'll put it to good use when I go touring on a tiny folding bicycle, carrying a tiny titanium tent stove for cooking inside my tent in appalling weather.
Great video. I like your practical "been there, done that" tips. Come on, do share your experience with the spilt fuel, you never worry about that unless you've survived.
The only thing I'm wondering about is when do you cook those eggs when bought from the store? Because if you buy them refrigerated they only last 2 hours before bacteria grows inside the egg the poop from the chicken on the egg that they wash off before packaging them before refrigeration actually protects the egg if you get eggs with poop on them they can last for two weeks without refrigeration but make sure not to wash the poop off the egg to protect from bacteria if you do boil them after buying from the store I think they can last awhile in their shell
Savory oats can be good. It helps to use way less water than usual. The texture can be much firmer that way. Instead of 1:2 oats:water, about 2:1. My next project is oat pizza or pizza oats. There are many other savory oats ideas online.
Oooh haven't tried that. I do remember making some savory oat dishes (like an oat loaf...though that required an oven) when I toured in England. Though we eat so many oats for brekky it may be a hard sell for Darin! Pizza oats?! Like the seasoning is akin to pizza?
@@radbikeadventure Yeah. There are some recipes if you Google it, but I'm just going to experiment. Pizza seasonings, sauce and toppings. Firm oats. If you get the moisture right (low enough), oats can end up being fluffy and separate, kind of like rice or bulgur. Then you can season them any way you want. I might try a pizza oat scramble, then top the scramble with sauce and cheese.
My 'one pot' for bike touring is; 6 chicken drumsticks, 2/3 cup brown rice, salt. Put it all in the pot at one time and leave over a low flame until the rice is cooked. Amount of water varies with altitude. Serves one. If you wet the rice in the morning by the time it's time to quit the road the rice is softer and cooks faster.
Anyone ever heard of Korean Army stew? (Budae jjigae). It sounds gnarly as hell if you read what's in it, but it's super easy, cheap and delicious. Only one pot needed for that one too.
id really like to see how you two plan your routes, is it daily? did you do all the planning before you left? do you use google maps? use a GPS? .how you decide how many miles and what route your going to take,that kind of stuff...I tour but not those long routes you guys do lol i find it fascinating!
This is a GREAT batch of questions. It's kind of a mix but we definitely didn't do all the planning before we left. We will for sure be making videos on this subject in the coming months. Stay tuned. 😀🗺️
I’m curious if you had ever thought of carrying a small food thermos for leftovers? I find these one pot meals often turn out more than I can eat in a single setting and rather than turf it I pack it into a small food thermos for a lunch or snack later, still warm.
I got off of work and came home at 3.am to see a new RaD had dropped, Oh boy! I know I will have a tormented nights sleep though. Cuz’ now I am restlessly anticipating the moment my local grocery purveyor opens. I am gonna “bolt” to the appropriate isles and stock up on all the key ingredients so I can rush home, reload the video, and have a campfire cookout with THE CREW! (Scrubs hands together in anticipation!)
rad bike adventure that looks delicious. My usual is the zip lock freezer bag: just add boiling water to a quart-size freezer bag with pre-measured instant or dehydrated food. Cheap and easy, no pot to clean. But over two or three days you generate a lot of trash.
I could see if you were doing multi-day back country camping that would be a great option. We've thought about getting a dehydrator to make meals like you are doing. When near towns, villages or cities, or anywhere that might have a shop, we try to get things locally and keep it fresh : D
When hiking on foot, a lot of cured meat/sausages, cheese, nuts and dried fruit, and flatbread. Always oat porridge for breakfast. Pasta and vegetarian sauce (it's some sauce you just add water to, soy based protein I believe). Pancakes. "Mashed potatoes" (to the extent that you can call mashed potatoes from powder actually mashed potatoes, but it's great cause it's low weight, low bulk and pretty good with seasoning and butter or just a lot of grated parmesan cheese in it). Tuna or mackerel canned in water or tomato sauce. If I'm going somewhere where I can fish and actually manage to catch something, fish - but I would never plan on eating fresh fish cause that sounds like a recipe for disaster. For the most part: one pot, exceptions being things like fresh fish and pancakes obviously. Never tried bikepacking, but I was thinking of starting.
I think what I would love to see is a compilation (maybe?) of all the worst parts of cycle touring that I don't tend to see cycle tourists doing. Sure, we get a lot of "hey it sure is windy" and things like that but I feel seeing the very hard parts of touring might be useful to see. My gf and I are working up to longer tours but I think we are a bit frightened of the unknown badness that might come with touring.
Hi Jason, this is a great suggestion. I feel like the physical stuff can be hard but we don't often talk about the emotional side of things while on tour. This could be a really interesting video. It's getting added to the list for sure. Thanks! Just curious, where have you toured thus far? Weekend trips or??
@@radbikeadventureHi! So far we've only done 60km over a single day. This upcoming summer we plan to do some overnight bike camping excursions. This, I hope, will lead to a week long adventure (the year after maybe?) to visit my folks who live 600km away from us. Please keep making stuff. 👍
Jason Shortt That sounds like a good plan Jason. 60km ain’t nothing! You’ll find that when you consistently ride, the longer days don’t feel as long. And since it’s the only main task for the day, you’ve got lots of time to tackle the k’s and take breaks! The pure exhaustion at the end of the day will be intense at first but you’ll get stronger. Plus, it’s really satisfying to feel a full-body tired: food tastes better and you’ll sleep great. Look forward to hearing about that trip!
Ha! DoDo! 🤣 Amazing about the eggs not breaking even when the bike tips over! I like the cutting board too👍 Videos I might like to see would be a review of the socks that kept you warm and other cold weather riding tips. Also a lot of RUclips channels are doing “Gift Giving Ideas” right now cuz it’s almost Christmas. And I’d also love a video about “How to film your own bike ride”. And maybe an end-of-year recap of highlights from your year on the road. On a selfish note, while you’re in SoCal I would love videos of local rides with directional maps. Even just day rides. I know this has limited appeal to SoCal riders though. But the way I found you two was by doing a search about riding from Mission Viejo to San Diego. It lead me to your video about your fist bike ride. Ive been hooked on your videos ever since😊 Actually now that I think of it, a great video would be about how to go about getting the Camp Pendelton pass for cyclists and how to navigate through the base and where to park for a day ride for that. I haven’t found any good videos about that. But whatever you do it’s always awesome. And very Rad! Keep it up! 😄👍❤️
Yaaas, all great suggestions Vivian! Gift ideas et al are all totally on the list...just need to get my ass in gear to make them! I def like the local SoCal video idea. I think that could be incredibly useful for any town, city...because often locals figure out the best routes to take for errands and commuting too. Camp Pendelton rules have changed recently but that is a great idea because many people heading south have to decide whether to take that route. You can't film inside the military base so maybe why there aren't any videos detailing that section of ride. But we could still talk about the options and what's required for base access...putting it on the list! 😊 Also...SO happy your found our channel!! 😊
As an indonesian that loves hiking, camping and bike packing. I got really tired of consuming indomie on daily basis so i went on a youtube deep intensive research on what an ideal camping food is; only to find these ppl use indomie as a staple. I just had the biggest facepalm of the universe.
🤣 but it's just so damn good! we've tried many different camp foods and those noodles still prove to be our favorite meal. Fernweh makes really good camp meals tho if you're looking for something more fresh. www.fernwehfoodco.com/
Yaa.. there are lots of wonderful diverse places out in India... But the north east part of India is really unexplored one... And the fun thing is that is full of natural beauty.. you all can have a good ride in this part of the region.
@@rajkumargogoi1524 Awesome! I have always wanted to go to India and yes, such a massive country with a LOT of diversity much like China I imagine . Will look into the north east region thanks!
Now this is strange, we both uploaded a food video on the same day. :/ Your meals look sooooo much better though. I'm gonna try this one pot meal, I like that you are using a lot of fresh veg. I'm trying to get away from using so much prepackaged processed garbage lol.... Cheers and happy pedaling!
Ha! Oh my goodness we did?! Gonna go check out your video now 😊. Yes, we pedaled with a veggo and she inspired MANY more fresh veggies into our meals and now we are hooked! It's really not that much more to carry, they stay good for a few days and makes a huge difference in the meal. Same to you!
