The right choice and organization of your bivouac cooking kit will enable you to make the most of your outdoor adventure while enjoying well-prepared meals. Lepape advises you on essential cooking equipment.
When preparing a bivouac, choosing the right popote is crucial for practical, efficient outdoor cooking. For a bivouac (unlike camping), lightness and compactness are essential, as the equipment is carried in the backpack. We’ll help you choose the ideal cooking utensil, the right stoves and other equipment for a successful bivouac.
There are various criteria for choosing a popote, but some are more important than others. We list them for you.
When bivouacking, the weight of your equipment is an essential criterion. Unless you’re going on a fast, a kitchen kit is a must! If weight is your criterion, we recommend a lightweight, durable titanium popote. Perfect for boiling water for freeze-dried dishes or cooking pasta.
Of course, the size of your picnic basket depends on the number of people going on the bivouac and the space you have in your bag.
It’s worth noting, however, that some hikers set off on bivouacs with nothing more than a 450-litre mug!
If you often go bivouacking, opt for titanium or stainless steel equipment, as these materials are durable, resistant to abrasion and heat. If you’re an occasional bivouac-goer, an aluminum cooking pot will do the trick.
The type offeed will also be a criterion. If you only eat freeze-dried dishes (convenient and easy) or pasta and rice, titanium will be perfect. On the other hand, if you’re cooking food (fresh meat or vegetables, for example), stainless steel or aluminum popotes are ideal!
The gas stove is a compact, lightweight cooking appliance that can be carried on a bivouac. It must, of course, be adapted to your popote and vice-versa, particularly in terms of dimensions.
A practical tip: choose a stove that can be stowed in your picnic basket, to save space in your backpack.
