Fans of hiking and hiking are firsthand about how important it is to bring the right dishes with you. Today, there are various kinds of special dishes for hiking and tourism. Let's find out how they differ from ordinary tableware and how to choose the right products.
Features of dishes for camping and tourism
The main differences between tourist dishes are as follows:
- compactness is a very important point. All modern dishes for hiking are performed by the so-called "matryoshka" system, that is, it can be folded into each other for greater compactness (a cup in a plate, a plate in a saucepan, etc.). Cutlery in the kitchen is either paired (for example, a spoon and fork "2 in 1", or folding.) Handles on such dishes are also more often folded, but they are also universal, when one handle is suitable for any pot or pan from the set;
- lightweight materials - probably one of the main characteristics. In a long campaign, every gram of weight of a load that a person carries in a backpack is felt, so the producers of utensils try to make it as easy as possible. As a rule, dishes for hiking and tourism are made of anodized aluminum or stainless steel, but it can also be plastic;
- universality. Instead of classic pots for a fire today the leader of sales is ware with a flat bottom, which can be put on a gas burner. Some models of such pots can also be used as a frying pan, and the lid serves as a plate.
What kind of dishes to take in the campaign?
If you regularly go hiking, you will certainly like a large set of tourist dishes. It can be calculated as for several persons (usually 2, 4 or 6), and for one person.
In addition to the sets, you can pick up single items of tourist kitchen utensils. So, without what utensils you can not go camping:
- pot, pan and / or frying pan;
- kettle, cups;
- Unbreakable plates (deep and flat);
- flask;
- cutlery (forks, spoons, knives, soup spoon);
- thermos or mug with thermal effect.
The number of items of utensils always depends on the duration of the trip, the time of the year and, of course, on your habits.
