CHEAP MEALS FOR LIFE ON THE ROAD | Camping Travel Vlog (Perth Weekend Away)

[@ltholmsy]

grab the little fold out steps at kmart. i have about 5 of them. use them for easier access to the fridge in the 4wd. or working in the engine bay etc. even use them at home for odd jobs and as a stand for waxing snowboards.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Yesss we really need to grab another one! We broke 2 in a row when we first set off and never bothered to replace them again 😂

[@neilmitchelhill9388]

Upside down milk crate

[@kevincashmore4655]

Right down the road from my house. Nice spot

[@itsJackandMegan]

Beautiful area! Thanks for watching Kevin ☺️☺️

[@mehmetyuca5942]

Süper video thank you so much family

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video 😊👍

[@neilfrost9017]

Great vlog. I love the idea of food I can store for a while before preparing. Cans are good. There’s only so much room in the 12v fridge

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for watching mate! Yes tins really are your best mate on the road!

[@jensstrang1501]

Good morning from the cold, wet, gray, Germany. 1. we have bought this year a folding aluminum step. You get better in and out of the car. And you can cook better on the side. Since my wife is also a little smaller, this is a great relief. 2. cheap cooking on the road, an underrated source of protein are the "roadkills". You shouldn't leave these lying around if they're fresh...... And the dog is happy too! 😉

[@itsJackandMegan]

Yeah I think an aluminium step is the way to go! We had a couple of plastic ones that we (Jack) 😜 broke early on in our travels that we never replaced! Haha I'd definitely leave that cooking to Jack 😂😂

[@grahamjones504]

Good to see you guys out camping again.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Great to be back out! Thanks for watching mate 😊👍

[@kevincashmore4655]

You were so lucky with Black Dimond. It is normally packed at this time of the year

[@itsJackandMegan]

We were thinking the same! Fair few people rocked up as we were leaving but we got incredibly lucky!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Getting ideas for food is always great. 😋 and now you have a great mini e-book "Feed the Lap" cook book 📖 😀

[@directionoverland9397]

Awesome pancake recipe. I’ll have to try that out. Looks yum. I love finding new camp cooking meals.

[@itsJackandMegan]

It's so good and gives you so much energy for the day! Thanks for watching 😊

[@roosadventures]

Great video guys will have to catch up for a camp soon 👍

[@CheekyKoala]

Introvert observation: catching up on these videos, you guys are so happy when you have open spaces, sunshine & water - as exciting as trips to countries like Japan are, I feel that for you, travel to busy, tiring places should be minimal & for your happiness, look at travelling to places which tick off the above 3 criteria- more of Australia, New Zealand, the pacific islands…. Definitely the pacific islands- seems like these are frequently overlooked by vloggers…..

[@ramblerebel1]

Really enjoyed the every aspect of this video. The recipes you shared are great and will be trying them soon. Thanks for another great video.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Cheers Jerome! Thanks for watching ☺️☺️

Oh man i've been slack with keeping up with the videos lately.. but seeing that intro was just great. certainly missed watching you guys! Awesome video, very informative and the editing, once again was amazing.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much mate! So glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼

[@Tony-bn6sm]

Looks so good.. quick easy and reasonably healthy.... just the ticket for camping... You need to invest in a step up for Meghan though mate... lol looks like a bit of a stretch for her to cook from ground level... Another great video though guys

[@gerdacoonan7250]

Mmmm, not good having her face so close to the cooking, make the bench lower, or sturdy step up really !!. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe, Cheers.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Cheers Tony! I definitely need a step.. or I can continue to use it as an excuse to get Jack to do the majority of the cooking 😂😂

[@055sos]

@@itsJackandMegan So natural and full of fun ... you nailded it Team. Thr meals thing is teal good. Your on the money, simple, quick and easy wins the day and if its healthy and resonably priced its a winner Thanks guys. Loved that vid.

[@Gordon_L]

Postage could be a killer on the bowls , I reckon $40 for 2 x 20cm bowls including delivery or $45 for 1 x 25cm bowl and 1 x 20 cm bowl ( his and hers set which would stack better )

[@itsJackandMegan]

Yeah it can get so expensive hey! That's a good idea for the his and hers bowls!

[@Hayls78]

Watching now. I want your nachos recipe please. I loved the look of it when you’ve done it before.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Oh yeah the nacho recipe is awesome! Will have to go through that one properly in another vlog 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Yes, include more of your cooking on your travel blogs. Even include a bit of how you set up each time you arrive at camp (Maybe have this in FFWD motion etc).

[@itsJackandMegan]

Awesome idea! Cheers mate 😊👍

[@sahabatku5279]

Awesome

[@jwc3104]

My wife is from Perth and I lived in Perth for few years with her. Beautiful Beautiful place. When you get off the airplane, the air literally smells different. So nice. Only thing about Perth... MOIT!!! dang flies!!! those flies EVERYWHERE!!! You can't do picnic in aussie beaches because them flies will eat your food faster than you can.

[@itsJackandMegan]

We really do love it here! Haha yep the flies can be shocking at times. Thanks for watching mate!

[@lachlancook3009]

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for watching Lucas! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙏🏼

[@jimoctec]

As far as camping and travelling goes, I am always on the lookout for good, simple meal ideas. Whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner, I like to have something relatively healthy, inexpensive and filling enough so we are not wasting time and money on takeaways. Good regular theme, no need to do the full Harry Fisher from Fire to Fork, leave that to him.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Exactly right! 🙌🏼

[@katell819]

Always enjoy meal cook up ideas on the road, thank you for sharing!! What blender/size do you use? 😊

Hey guys, they have something similar at Target, but not bamboo they are Acacia Wood salad bowls. Either way would pay $20 a pair, they are nicer in the bamboo. 😎.

[@matthewfinnigan3862]

Thanks for the recipes. Looks great. Kewpie goes great on just about everything.

[@neilmitchelhill9388]

Exactly, I have normal, Wasabi, Siracha & roasted Sesame Kewpie almost always. Buy when on special of course

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video 🧡

[@patrickstaples7314]

Great vid guys, I only just stumbled upon you’s. Idea: maybe look at a small fold table (oztrail alluminium) to make easier for Megan. That way you cook on the table but use the troppy bench for prep

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for watching mate! Definitely a good idea! Once we rejig our setup we'll have a look at getting one 👍

Don’t worry Megan … my wife is the same … doesn’t like food touching on her plate, and always wants to serve herself unless we’re at a restaurant etc.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Will do! Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@justindawson3428]

I'm a tight ass so $5-10 for the bowls. You should ask your viewers for budget camping meals and if any sound appealing add them into an episode with credit to the viewer. Once you have a good collection you can do a cook book I'm sure people would be keen. If you turn a couple of your spare bowls upside down Megan could stand on them to help with her cooking shortage LOL.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Great idea! Always love to see what other people cook on the road!

[@dougneville9097]

Thanks you two,very interesting food tips.Keep the vids coming.

[@Best_travelsoz]

Great recipe ideas. Safe travels. The bamboo bowls look good and would pay 19.99 a bowl

[@MrThefastone]

What do you think of the companion stove? Thinking about getting one

[@itsJackandMegan]

Our original stove before trying out this one was also a companion, but the high output model. To be honest we prefer that model over the one we tried out in this video! Just seems to do better in the wind and a bit more compact!

[@teafoodpairing2025]

Great video. We would love to see more of your delicious looking meals!

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks guys! We had fun creating this one.

[@tiffanydowsen3737]

Cheers Rob! We are so keen to get back on the road full time!

[@clarrievivian4208]

Great topic, I'm always looking for cheap & easy meals when camping. Have you thought about buying an adjustable height painters stand, baileys & gorilla put out a couple of different models, can get them from Bunnings. Use one myself, plenty of bench space and correct height for safety, ( thinking of Megan). Keep up the great posts. Blessings.

[@itsJackandMegan]

Thanks for watching Clairre! We did have a fold out step when we originally left on our lap but it broke less than a month in 😂 definitely need to find something sturdier, a painters stand sounds like a great idea!

[@arsikagede3071]

Krennnn

[@vurhd]

Delicious! You should turn your recipes into an ebook 🤤

[@itsJackandMegan]

That's a good idea! We'll have to come up with a few more recipes though since we usually do the same 5-6 meals on rotation 😂😂

[@neilmitchelhill9388]

Add a few of your camp ovan meals, then when you catch fish or octopus to what you normally do maybe. A life on the road cookbook. You could maybe mix it up with seasons (vegs/fruit/time of year) and or state ie Lobster = Robe SA, Crabs = Cardwell Qld, Prawns = Ballina NSW, Scallop pie = Lorne Vic. You could do you version etc

[@HazelnutAdventures]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks heaps, that's around the price point we were thinking too but need to do a lot more research on it. Putting a pin in the idea for now anyway 😅

[@GR8Tmate]

That stove looks pretty good, are you happy with it? What brand is it & Im assuming it runs of a standard gas bottle? Bamboo bowls, you say they are better than IKEA? I suppose they are going to be at least $15, hard to say as I don’t know size, $20? Postage ($15) & 2 bowls brings it to $55 & budget conscious people might baulk at that. I’m a touchy feel type person, I rarely buy online for that reason……but line Megan, I’m just weird 🤣 Ps: You’re a bit odd too Jack 😝

[@itsJackandMegan]

It is a Companion stove just like the one we took on our lap. We will be sticking with our original bbq when we head off again full time as we think this new one would struggle to stay lit in high wind! Also while it's nice to have the extra room for large pots & pans it is too large for the recess in our setup. Yeah we definitely need to find a cheaper supplier if the bowls are something we really want to pursue. We think it's a really great idea but might need to put a pin in setting up a second business for now 😂

[@GR8Tmate]

@@itsJackandMegan Please don’t let me put you off, If it was a nice bowl I might pay $50 but that’s why I rarely buy online because I like to touch, sniff & taste things before buying. You never know, people might buy sets of them? Or better still, maybe the bowls could form part of a set of items? ## Remember “Economies if scale” 😉 ### Think outside the box
