Simpson desert ten yrs on meetup July 5th Coober Pedy start 2024

I've just spent two days cleaning the car and it's finally back to normal. We were very lucky not to receive a puncture because if we had, we would have been in trouble.
We put some fancy new aftermaket alloy wheels on it about 6 months ago and haven't needed to remove a wheel yet, but I took them all off to clean the car now.
It turns out you need a special slim socket to get into the nuts which was given to us by the tyre shop but we were not carrying. Also the shop torqued the nuts to 73 ugga duggas which I needed to use a 3 foot breaker bar to get undone.

If you ever get new wheels installed please PLEASE test you can remove them at home first!

Yeah so pasta cook as normal in the pot.

No, I literally just defrosted the meals and pushed the food to the bottom of the bag and let it sit in a deep dish fry pan on a gentle simmer for 10mins.

With rice just leave it in the bag (usual microwave pack ones) in the same pan.

I found leaving the rice bag unopened and on the simmer for 5 mins first then add the food bag for another 10 mins and the last 5 mins open the rice bag and sit it up right.

I think I understand that. Maybe! Haha I've got zero experience with microwave rice bags annd how they work. Anyway good stuff mate!

I used to cook normal rice camping but the microwave pre cooked bags are another winning Daztip have picked up and never looked back. So quick and easy and already cooked to perfection your just heating it up[emoji106][emoji106] .

Yeah they are just a little plastic bag of pre cooked rice which needs to be warmed up. I would never use them at home but for camping they are a winner!

Daz is certainly a pioneer of the camp cooking hacks. Remember the chicken skewers which never fit in the pan? Just remove the chicken from the stick and cook it, genius!
