I froze my pasta so I’ll see how it goes, rice I’m just getting the cooked packet rice you reheat, I’ve got spaghetti bog and chilli con carn, rissoles, sausages, chicken kofta and stew cryovaced and packets of Deb instant mashed potatoes and frozen veg, I can reheat everything in hot water and then do the Deb mashed potatoes with the hot water and also use the rest of the water to wash the forks and burn the paper plates, if the pasta is no good then I’ll just Chuck it out *

Nice!

I’m making up the following sauces

Butter chicken
Carbonara
Spaghetti
Beef stew
Madras curry
Marinara

Then just the usual
Steak, snitty, sausages and frozen veges, etc.

Yeah nah don’t reheat cooked and frozen pasta mate. Cook that at camp if you can carry the water required.

That’s my only concern is do I have enough water to do my meals and lachys meals with 2 pots of water for each meal.

I was considering to just reheat the sauces as normal in saucepan and wipe clean.

I have 2x5 LTR water bottles and a usb pump, I reckon that will well and truly be enough plus a 24 pack of 600 ml drinking water. https://www.googleadservices.com/pag...BAgHEBo&adurl=

One last lake to cross. The Simpson Desert is awash after recent rain. Driving conditions were very difficult with long sections of muddy ruts covered in water. While none of our party got bogged, two 200 Series LandCruiser’s alternators died, and then completely ran out of power and stopped at Big Red. One was towed into Birdsville while the other needed assistance from Birdsville Hotel recovery vehicle. And we picked up a stranded motorcyclist. It was full on.42F001AB-6239-4F73-85E4-62E19B28418E.jpeg

Looked at a few different ideas for storage. Ended up with a couple kings 45l boxes and with a few of the clear top bags I think I'm sorted.
Last photo is of everything that was in the box.

FWIW: Thanks Stroppstar Legend Confirming yet again that Toyota’s V8 squeezy peazy was a schemozzle
Not sure which arse end of Japan (Datsun Ours Too) decided to engineer an alternator down low
Please don’t tell owners that for a measly $5k ++ they can purchase a sealed Aussie Alternator cooled via water (mine spec)
Personally, we’ll be sticking with our Patrol’s, at least they run the same sand track wheelbase front to rear without $14-$18k out of the SHOWROOM

The nets we bought we may come in handy perhaps!
