Hey /out/ I have a question for you. Starting in about a month, I am taking a bicycle trip from San Francisco bay area to Argentina. I will be camping on the side of the road as much as possible, at least in California, and I'm wondering if I should bother taking a little portable stove with me? Here are my questions for you.
Has anybody done camping without the portable stove? If so, does this limit your eating options? Can you cook fine on the embers of the fire, or if you fashion a spit above them? How would I boil water for example on a campfire? Obviously it's been done before, think of like cowboys in the 1800s, they had no stoves, yet ate on a campfire every night.
Secondly, if I did get a stove, I would need one that is light, fuel is easy to buy in a country like El Salvador or Panama, and reliable. Any reccomendations?
