I agree with others posts... collapsible water carriers and solid plastic ones become unhygienic. Last few years I have just bought a 5L bottle of water, refilled and thrown in recycling as we leave campsite.

Oh and cooking is done on an old Tilley Titan two burner and grill cooker with calor gas 904.
Has served me well for many years. More recently outside the tent but in sheeting rain I have resorted to using it in the closed in porch. Made the niece & nephew sit down though so they didn't knock anything.😀

Ortleib do a series of very durable (but not cheap) roll-up water carriers. We use one and dangle it from the frame of the extension. When space is precious, the big bottle of water approach can be a nuisance - or am I just an untidy cook?

On the pan front, we've abandoned our ancient Coleman pan set and instead bought a 3l pot from IKEA, into which it's possible to fit a Zebra folding-handle pan (which in turn contains an insert which you could use as a small pan/frying pan). That, a small ceramic non-stick wok (great for porridge) and a 30cm paella pan does for just about everything and takes up very little space.

Not sure why Roofybubbles says plastic water containers become unhygienic.

We have been using a 10lt water carrier for years, it also has a very handy tap fitted.

Each time before we go away, it gets a good internal soaking with a large dose of Milton sterilising fluid, then a good rinse.

In fact the container itself must be a good 10 years old.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the collapsible carrier. We've had a variety of foldable/squashable water carriers and they've all been rubbish. At the moment we're back to buying a 5L jobby from the supermarket, refillng as needed and binning at the end of stay.


I did exactly the same, then went onto large bottle of water, then refilling 😊

Silly question ...in rainy day ....like today can the suitcase stove be used inside the tent ??thanx


Well I've been camping for about 12 yrs, I cook outside when nice and cook inside when cold, windy,and raining.
I'm sensible, I know the risks and warnings to me cooking in the porch is just as risky.
I use a suitcase stove, remember its a naked flame, needs to be well away from sides of tent, less likely to suffer from gas poisening with a small canister, than you are from a leaking hose pipe, I'm more scare of that, than I am from canisters

Having seen a cheap suitcase style gas stove with the aerosol style cartridges burst into flames and burn the front of a tent on a site we were on a couple of years ago, I would never trust them.
Low pressure gas stoves with a regulator every time for me...

We buy a 5 litre supermarket water bottle every time we go away. Saves any problems with keeping a water container clean and free from algae etc. when in storage...

I've been using the suitcase stoves and they are fine.
With any equipment, problems arise when people do not know how to use the equipment properly or abuse them.
