Oat Bark Recipe

Oat Bark Recipe

Hello ,,

Some backpackers like to wake up and hit the trail without cooking up a pot of oatmeal. It’s easy to cook and dehydrate oatmeal at home and turn it into oat bark. Oat bark is crispy, but still chewy. While you’re chewing it, the flavor of the fruit you added to it releases onto your taste buds. It’s the equivalent of a bowl of oatmeal that you can nibble on while you knock-out your first mile.

Oat bark also makes a tasty ingredient in trail mix with the simple addition of nuts and dried fruit of choice. Some chocolate pieces would certainly round out the mix.

Simple Trail Mix: Oat bark with nuts and cranberries

Oat Bark Recipe

Servings 1

Ingredients:

• ½ Cup Old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 Apple cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp Raisins
• 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup (or brown sugar)
• ½ tsp Cinnamon
• Pinch Salt
• 1 Cup water

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in pot and bring to boil for two minutes. Reduce heat to simmer for five more minutes and then turn off stove. Let pot sit covered for ten minutes.

Allow oatmeal to cool and then run through a blender until smooth.

Spread thinly on dehydrator tray covered with non-stick sheet.

Dehydrate at 135° F for approximately eight hours.

After six hours, the bark should be dry enough to flip over and finish drying without the non-stick sheet.

Break dried oat bark into pieces and store in a jar with tight fitting lid until ready to pack.

This recipe yields 1½ cups of oat bark which would be one large serving of oatmeal or could be divided up and added to trail mix recipes.

If desired, oat bark can be turned back into oatmeal on the trail with an equal quantity of boiled water and a little vigorous stirring.

Variation: Works well with a banana instead of an apple. I used sugar in place of maple syrup, omitted the raisins, and added a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

Woke up this morning and checked my Twitter

Went onto Facebook and moaned about the weather

And then I checked my friends' updates on Google plus

Wait, no I didn't, cos it sucks

Well they took YouTube and fucked it in the ass

Leave us alone, we just want to make videos

Well we just want our website back

Why is that so hard to understand?

Fuck you, Google Plus

We don't want your fucking fuss

If it was gonna 'work' it would've happened by now

Maybe ask Yahoo to fix it somehow?

See Google you're just bad at web design

Well I'd suggest trying to Google it sometime

Then there's the suggestion they don't wanna hear

Trangia 25-8 UL/HA

Trangia 25-8 UL/HA

I use the Trangia 25-8 UL/HA  now, and it’s as reliable as sin. Since I got it, I no longer use my MSR Dragonfly stove. 

This model comes with a frying pan lid (which doubles as a pot lid and serves as the top to the kit when it’s all packed up) and two pots; the pots and burner combine in a neat, self-contained package. The stove itself is basically an alcohol burner (think Sterno can) with a custom top by which you semi-regulate/extinguish the flame. The stove sits in a two-piece extremely stable wind screen (picture two pots bottom to bottom, with a hole through the middle for the stove).

The Trangia uses denatured alcohol, which is easier and quieter than white gas. Easier because you don’t have to prime the stove or pressurize the fuel canister. To start the Trangia, you set up the windscreen, put the stove in the middle, add fuel and light the top. To turn it off, you slide the lid on the custom top, cutting off the oxygen. And it’s quieter because there’s no hissing or roaring — again, think Sterno.

Another advantage the Trangia has over the MSR stove is the windscreen design, which makes a far more stable cooktop than the MSR’s three-wire tripod. As for weight, since I usually pack stove and cook pots together, the combined weight and size of my MSR and REI cook pots is about the same as the weight and size of this Trangia kit (around 2 pounds).

Negatively, you can’t regulate the Trangia’s flame very well. The Trangia is a little slower, too: it takes a few minutes longer to boil a couple of cups of water for tea. Without a stopwatch, both the Trangia and the MSR take about the same time to boil a pot of water for dehydrated dinners, always too slow for whoever isn’t cooking that night.

The stove for everybody:

The Trangia stove is available in different materials and sizes, with many combination options, features and accessories.

The Trangia stove is today used by outdoor people all over the world. For half a century, the Trangia stove has been the natural choice for storm-proof stoves. Our approach to quality has put its stamp on manufacturing throughout the process, from the choice of materials to function.

We have the accumulated skills and experience over 80 years and our proximity to the mountain environment and practical testing, combined with modern technology, design and constant development, means we can offer a complete, reliable, quality stove.

The Trangia Original is and remains the original: a light, fast and, above all, reliable stove for the outdoors. In all weathers.

The Trangia principle:

This storm-proof stove system is based on simplicity. Two windshields that fit together, a burner, a couple of pans, a combined lid/frypan, a kettle and a handle. The stoves are lightweight. They need no special care and they are hardwearing. The Trangia stove is reliable, without unnecessary parts that can go wrong or be adversely affected by cold. The stove is quick to set up, and packs into a compact unit that takes up minimal space.

For safetys sake:

The Trangia burner is an ingenious original product. Many have tried to copy it, but nobody has completely succeeded. The silent burner has a simple, durable and safe design. Regardless of the weather, wind and season, it is easy to light. The spirit burner takes up little space and weighs less than a gas burner. The simmer ring is used to regulate the heat, which saves fuel, and is used to extinguish the flame.

Winter attachment:

In severe cold, a winter attachment can be useful. A pre-heater is placed under the burner, filled with fuel and lit to warm up the burner. The accompanying, reflective plate is used as a base. The Trangia stove can also run on bottled gas. The Trangia range of accessories includes a gas burner and a multifuel burner.

In all weathers:

The heart of the storm-proof stove system is the two-part windshield. The ventilation holes in the lower windshield are turned to face into the wind to increase the oxygen supply to the burner. If the wind becomes too strong, the stove is turned to maintain the required flame. The Trangia burner runs on Tenol or methylated spirits, which are cheap, safe and readily available. The combined frypan/lid can be put on top of the pan to speed up heating and save fuel. The stove stands stable, with the pan on the supports recessed into the upper windshield. The supports are turned upwards when the frypan is used.

Material: 

Aluminium

Aluminium is a durable and lightweight material that conducts heat uniformly and quickly, so food does not burn in the centre of the pan. The aluminium stove has a hard surface that protects against scratches and abrasion. Trangia’s basic models are made totally of aluminium, a material that has consistently good characteristics. For people who want trouble-free cooking with a stove that lasts for many years.

Ultralight aluminium: 

Aluminium is a lightweight material that conducts heat well. Our aluminium stove systems spread heat quickly and evenly. This means that food does not, for example, burn and stick to the centre of the frying pan. In addition, the hard surface means that the systems are very resistant to scratching and wear. Ultralight aluminium is 50 % stronger than ordinary aluminium. Consequently, less material is required to manufacture the stove systems. As a result, they are lighter.

Ultralight hardanodized aluminium

Besides making our windproof stove systems even more resistant to scratching and wear, hardanodizing is a surface treatment that also improves corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the treatment makes the stove systems easier to clean than untreated stove systems. These excellent properties have led to hardanodized cookware replacing our Titanium and Duossal ranges.

Non-stick:

The non-stick coating gives the ideal surface for frying, and requires little or no cooking fat. It also makes washing up easier, because nothing sticks. Non-stick is slightly more susceptible to scratches and abrasion, so use only wooden or plastic utensils. For those who want light packs, fuss-free eating and easy washing up.

The original handle Trangia

The original handle from Trangia I replaced for the Primus handle. The handle of Trangia damaged the pots.

Scratches and dents in the pans.
