My most valuable piece of kit


 The thing that I have found the most useful whilst camping is my pocket rocket. Such a simple, genius bit of kit. The pocket rocket is the metally bit that my husband is holding up. It screws onto a small gas canister, and then you put a saucepan on it.

Nice things about the pocket rocket:

  • A civilised English person always starts the day with a cuppa - so perfect in the morning when you can't be bothered to get the stove out. Boils water in about 3 mins for 2 people. 
  • I bought it initially for the Isle of Wight festival, and we made lots of instant noodles with it. 
  • And cups of tea. 
  • It really does fit in your pocket.
  • It's cheap.
  • Easy to use - just find a flat bit of ground. Or bring inside the tent if mega windy. 
  • Actually, it's pretty much idiot-proof. You are very unlikely to blow yourself up with this. Simples!
