Cooking Reflection

1.       On Friday in the double lesson Jaslyn and I cooked a chicken satay stir fry and rice. It consisted of a fresh chicken breast cut into fine strips, freshly sliced vegetables and tasty satay sauce drizzled over the top. The fresh vegetables we used were onion, carrot and celery.

2.       Our meal was extremely successful! We both contributed to the meal equally and our meal was completed in the time frame we were given. Our cleaning up was also completed effectively and in the time frame given. The meal was really tasty and we both really enjoyed the food we cooked together.

3.       Jaslyn and I really enjoyed the meal therefore we have decided to cook the same meal on camp. We have decided to cook this on camp because it was easy to prepare quick to cook and yummy to eat. The meal consists of healthy food that will be really good for Jaslyn and I on camp. The food will be a good source of energy nutrition which is always good when you’re going to be exercising for long periods of time. (kayaking)

4.       I think that the stir fry could have been improved in flavour and nutrition. We could have added to the flavour and nutrition by adding different vegetables. We could have purchased extra vegetables and still been under $10. So on camp Jaslyn and I are going to add coli flour and capsicum to our stir fry.

5.       Going into the challenge I honestly didn’t think it would be possible to make a nice tasty meal under $10. But after looking on the woollies website, I found it easily possible! I think Jaslyn and I made a great meal considering we only spent $10. We had fresh produce and vegetables and made most of our meal from scratch. We tried to avoid buying packaged items due to cost and it worked to our advantage.

6.       Another meal you could make for under $10 is a chicken parmy and corn. Dale and Adam cooked this meal on Friday in our double; the meal seemed to be a success and included fresh food. 

Trangia

LABELLED TRANGIA

A and B;  are the Bowls 
C ; is the Fry Pan
D ; is the Wind Shield 
E ; is the Base
F ; is the Fuel Container and next to it is the Flame Controller 
G ; is the Spondoolies 
H ; is the Strap


SAFETY OF TRANGIAS
1) Set it up correctly to make sure there is nothing that might tip or because its unstable
2) Flat Ground finding one would be much safer and easier to cook/put your trangia
3) Don't light the trangia without having the windshield over the top
4) Use the Spondoolies to pick up every single piece of equipment when cooking
5) Clean all equipment, because if you don't it could lead to mold or food poisoning  therefore you would get sick and that wouldn't be fun.
6) Never leave open flame, if you do someone could kick it, and it could be trouble


* always make sure no metho spills onto the ground, its a fire risk
* always make sure you use the correct amount of metho, because if it runs out while your still cooking you need to make sure fuel container is cold enough to hold in your hand before re filling it.
and vis versa if you use too much metho you need to atcj your flame and wait till you metho burns out.

How to find an adequate campsite

• The first thing you need know about being able to find a good camp site is safety, is everyone going to be safe there.
• Allowing time to set up camp, you don't want to be setting up in the dark so if you need to travel or you need to do other things make sure you leave pretty early to be able to get to your site before dark
• Is there enough space for you + family,school mates, anything other people camping with you
• Use established area so use areas you know other people have camped at and are safe 
• There always flat ground where you are makes it so much easy to camp on
• Is there shelter from the wind, are there trees around if the wind starts to pick up you have to be care of these things just in case.
• Check for hazards- like trees and things like that 
• is it near a water source, are you going to have to travel further and stuff like that to be able to get your water.



On school camp last year at the Murray Venture, our over night base camp location had to be changed due to the floods, the original campsite was flooded and shrubs had grown over the area we were going to set up the tents, which meant we could no longer camp there because there wasn't a safe location to set up the tents.

Another experience i have had when finding an adequate campsite is when i went camping with my family a couple of years ago, when we got to the campsite it was almost dark so we quickly picked a location and set up out tent as soon as possible, without checking the safety points, to avoid the sun setting before the tent was set up. We then set up a camp fire, had dinner and a while after went to bed. After laying in our sleeping bags for not even 15 minutes we had realised we picked a bad spot to set up the tents! We were sleeping on a really uncomfortable rocky surface, which meant it was extremely hard to get comfortable and get to sleep. Since it was too late to re set up the tent because of the darkness, we had to wait till the morning. Which meant we hardly got an sleep and were tired the next day.

- ALWAYS make sure you have a flat surface when setting up a tent, because a comfortable sleep is really important.

How to set up a tent

            1.      Practice setting up your tent before you go camping

-         Setting up your tent at least twice before you actually go camping is a very good idea. This will ensure you have all the pieces you need to set up your tent correctly, and prior knowledge is always helpful!

2.      Find a flat ground free of any stick or sharp objects

-         Sleeping on an uncomfortable ground when camping can result is bad sleeping patterns and an un-settled sleep, this is why finding the flattest surface possible is extremely effective. This will also ensure no rips or tears on your tent.

3.      Pick a location free of wind and sun (if possible)

-         Picking a location free of wind and sun will ensure comfortable camping, if your tent in located in a windy area you may lose equipment or your tent may even fly way.

4.      Unpack the tent (all parts)

-         Sort the parts of your camping tent into groups, tent stakes, tent poles, rain fly so you're not hunting for them as you set up the tent.

5.      Connect tent poles

      -     Tent poles usually come in sections that you put together. You need to make sure you connect the           appropriate poles together to ensure the tent poles are even and set up correctly, securely and safely.

6.      Secure the part water proof fly

             -     If your tent has a rain-fly, secure it over the top of the tent. This usually involves            fastening the corners of the rain-fly to cords that attach to the base of the tent.

7.      Take care of zips

                 -    Zips should be treated with respect. Don’t tread on them and wash off any mud.

The picture above is an example of a tent set up on a camp in 2011, The Murray Venture. Through out Murray Venture myself and my group, of five had to set up tents and back up tents numerous times. I found the steps above to be completely successful. The most important step in my opinion would be number 4. A couple times my group did not unpack all parts of the tent, in particular the poles, which meant we set our tent up in correctly because we had the incorrect poles put together, always make sure you unpack all items of your tent! it helps enormously when trying to set up a tent quickly.

Kayaking

·         Turn

How to pack a kayak

·        Pack lightly

·        Keep your packages balanced to ensure your kayak is balanced

·        Pack small packages

Water proofing

·         Small packages

·         All packages need to be air tight

·         Only water proof what NEEDS to be water proofed

·         Use garbage bags

·         Double bag everything

·         Triple bad necessities (sleeping bag, clothes)

      Above are some photographs of myself kayaking on the Murray River.
      I was kayaking to over night camps which meant I had to pack clothing, food, toiletries, etc, for up to two days. This ensured water proofing only necessities so they would obviously continue to stay dry. The tips I have written about water proofing are enormously helpful! Always make sure you double, or even triple bagging things. This is the best tip I can give anyone! Because not double bagging my only jumper for the night on camp was the biggest mistake I made, of course the bag ripped and my jumper become heavily wet and I had to go without.
