I bought a few of those for a buck or two each at a discount kitchen goods store in an outlet mall, they had both plain and serrated blade ones. I just looked at one, no name or country of origin. Sorry, can't tell you.

Life is too short to eat bad. That is my long trip solo kit.

With only one stove, move the two pots back and forth to heat the sauce while also cooking the noodles.



Occasionally, a ham and eggs meal is a nice change of pace.





But, I often have "just add water" for breakfast. This is one packet of instant oatmeal mixed with one serving of Mountain House Breakfast Skillet, plus of course the coffee.




All the photos of these meals were from my five week tour last summer. You can eat the just add water type of meals for a while, but when out for over a month you need something closer to real food.

Photo below from a different trip, I used the can opener for the small tomato puree can. I usually get three meals out of one chili envelope.
