food containers

[Man of Tanith]

Hi All
just wondering how do you carry your food into the outdoors is it the joys of snap lock bags or tupperware boxes?or something completely different? i am curious as i want to take something a lil more interesting than rat packs n pot noodles with me
Cheers

Snap-lock plastic boxes from the supermarket and boil-a-bags from Lakeland.

Any food I take goes into an ancient mini coca-cola cool bag just big enough to take pop 6 cans. Anything that`s slightly liquid or messy goes in the plastic boxes and the rest gets stuffed around them.

I`ve got into my salamis lately so they can just be thrown in the rucksack no bother.

Did take some bread baps once. Got two 2L bottles, cut the top off both and put a slice down the side of one. Then can put the baps inside the sliced one, and slide the other over the top.

Stopped them from getting crushed, and even dry after my rucksack took a 20 metre swim down a river.

A local "cheapy" shop sells a set of three nesting stainless steel bottomed tupperware copies with plastic lids. They're great for storing all sorts of stuff in and have the added bonus of being capable of going straight onto the fire to cook in. If you cook in the smaller two tubs, they can be put into the largest one for clean transport home to get washed.

I have a hard mini coolbox, and a soft one too.

But they end up filled with pop cans....

And plenty of plastic containers

Dont get the hard polycarbonate...they break (As I found out after paying a lot for a lunch box some time ago) go for the soft vinyl plastic.

or reused ones from your takeaway.

the pop bottle idea is good
