Cooking

When it comes to cooking you have to first think of a suitable way to store your food items for a few days on trails.

For that you can use a cooler or a freezer. If you are a serious overlander it’s better to go for a portable freezer.

It’s a bit pricey option but it’s worth the money.

You can read my full guide on jeep portable freezers.

There I attach images of different sizes of freezer fit on to jeep cargo areas and all the things you should know about portable freezers.

If that’s not for you then you can buy a good cooler. They also work great for short overlanding trips.

Preparing meals

To prepare your meals, there are also a lot of options.

If you are just starting your overlanding and finding a simple way to prepare your meals you can just buy a tiny single burner stove or a two burner stove and a LP gas can without breaking the bank.

It’s a versatile option.
