Check i at about twenty minutes. If it's looks pale and unrisen leave for another 10 - 15 minutes. It's very much trial and error I'm affraid.....that's how you learn
Leon, get a stick and carve the end down to a fine pointed stick. A bit thicker than a cocktail stick at the end, it should taper for strength, to not even the thickness of a pencil. The rest of the stick can be as thick as you like I suppose, but if you start with a pencil thick stick, you'll save yourself time and effort!! What you do then is cut the skin that joins the sausages into a string, and stick a sausage onto the stick, skewering it end to end. If the point of the stick pokes out the other end, it allows the fat to escape.
Now you can either rest the skewered sausage on a stone or a bit of wood so that it is above the embers, or you can push the stick into the ground at an angle so that it is above the coals.then you just turn the sausage as it browns.

Leon,
So you have now got, bacon (either pegged or on a greenstick griddle), sausage onna stick (as opposed to inna bun), bannock backed in your billy can.
Problem being there is a need to bew tea or coffee and really some sort of vegetables needed - perhaps even some eggs. Given you only have one Billy can, have you thought of how you might make another Billy or improvise some other cooking implements before you go?

When you say old pots...what did you have in mind ?
Also think what beans come in........could you maybe make something that would do?
Think about making bannock...could you rig something up instead of using your Billy Can?

Leon,
I suggest plenty of practice cooking at home to work out what you like first.
I was thinking if you had a large metal can and a metal plate, that would do great for your Bannock. You could use your Billy can then for tea etc. and maybe warm some baked beans up in your improvised Billy (I have just taken the top of a baked bean tin, ripped the label off, eaten a couple of spoons cold and heated the can up resting on caols - does tend to tip over though - if you made a Billy out of a tin can and wire coathanger it would work better.
As for other cooking gear, it depends whether you are "car camping" or carrying it!

Thanks Ogri!
Its all this chatting we do Leon - soon adds up
Anyway heres my thought. Use your "home made" Billy for baked beans, New Billy for Bannock then give you new Billy a wipe out and put on to boil for tea whilst the bannock is cooling a little (bet they eat it warm though). Actually, I'd make tea first and be drinking mine whilst cooking (Mum and Dad get theres in bed of course). Cup of tea, tell 'em "breakfast in half an hour" and bung the bannock on. Have you figured out when to put all the things on yet? You don't start them all at the same time!

Leon,
Sausages will take maybe 10-15 minutes - cook em slow mate - if they get done too soon, take them away from the fire then bring them back at the end just to "warm over", same applies to bacon and beans, so if the bannock takes a while you can slow them down a bit (works on a stove too - just take the pan off the heat or the grill pan out.
As for writing it up, no, I won't, but I'll teach you how to create a proper step by step plan - then you can do it for any other meal too - hows that?

yes it would be better if you could teach me rather than you do then i will write it up
sausages on sticks 10 -15 mins
bacon on a log about 5 mins
bannock in a billy can 20 - 30 mins
beans in a home made mess tin about 5 mins
please tell me if i have got it wrong
the diy billy can is the exact same size as te cans the beans come in therefore the beans will be up to the brim of the billy is this ok
