What to take on a winter picnic

One of our fellow gardener and nature lover, knowing that I'm a fan of winter and summer fishing and Hiking at any time of the year, all asking me to write about it. However, this year I was busy and on winter fishing did not go far. Hunt, frankly, is not love. Is that a walk in the woods was out on skis and sometimes without. But as a practitioner, lover of culinary delights, I can not ask those who go fishing, hunting, and Hiking — maybe even with their wives and children: and for how long you are going and don't will need to snack? Something to offer you. To be honest, I love hikes and picnics, especially in winter.
 



 

In "Hiking by car"Faina Ranevskaya, to put it mildly, did not like ballet on ice and field hockey. I don't like the hike to the car. That is, I just like Faina are. We're going to go: "movement is life". So put the car with friends in the village and go 15-20 miles at least, to some secret or, conversely, a popular and scenic spot: overlooking an ancient temple or the lake, a beautiful mountain or a hill.



To build a fortress or to play hockey, skiing, sunrise and sunset from the summit to admire. The main thing — a good knowledge of the route, because home is also a good idea to go back in time: a tent overnight in the winter requires special knowledge and practices.



But things can overpower a man whose winter only on the calendar, and the soul is always spring or summer, plus there are experienced buddies!
 

Required equipment the Movement on the cold winter air obstacle course — in the untouched snow or for fun, easy ski, foot or broad, kamus lined hunting skis in any case requires energy. To replenish that, if only to eat something.

Well, here is the tip: dry frozen forest well-lit. Unfortunately. It is better to use tourist kerosene stove, checking the temperature of ignition of the fuel. And if you would start a fire, then... what? A thermos and a sandwich...? No, of course. An experienced person will have the piece of bread with bacon and chocolate. But we're going camping. So, it is necessary to prepare. Going seriously, with an overnight stay, take the hatchet:



You can take the bow saw:



Or folding:



And more! The knife should be in every adult — from the age of 12. Although there could be as educated and who is fit...



There is a good, sometimes very useful combination pocket tools:



And a piece of polyethylene, 6-8 meters square. ... But at other times, friends!
 

Jelly – in a bottle!In the once popular book, "the lectures of Mr Poof about kitchen art" (and under this pseudonym was hiding the philosopher, composer and critic, writer and journalist, inventor and popularizer of science, a contemporary of Alexander Pushkin, Prince Vladimir Fedorovich Odoevsky), we read a quote from the great French chef Antoine careme: "I have prepared for one sailor, the stomach which he could not carry the ordinary ship's food, bottles of pure jelly... up to 50 tablespoons of thick jelly on the bottle. Every spoonful dissolved in a bowl of water, gave a wonderful broth. In addition, the jelly can be eaten just with bread." Well, how to use the jelly just with bread, and so we know. But is it comfortable to carry a heavy bottle? And the bottle, like so:



And then we'll need a fire or a kerosene stove, but the most important thing here is the subject. He'll make us tea, and soup, and a lot more useful!



 

And that will add to aspic?First of all, at home, in advance, will protomen beets, cabbage, peppers, all with onion. Let cool and in a container. We already have jelly. Dissolve it in the right amount for a mug of the boiling water, add vegetable mixture, you will get a marvelous winter Hiking hot soup, just don't forget spoons and bowls!

Hot food in the winter outdoors — fishing, hunting or Hiking — do not have prices, but if such a calorie and nutritious, then there are no words. The fact that 10 minute walk in the cold a person loses about 100 calories. To go to places, sometimes much longer. And so physical activity, and even frost are slowly being ripped off the calories. And vodka only at first warm, and then freeze... So the soup, the jelly will be simply irreplaceable.
 

Bread Lithuanian once upon a time the Lithuanian peasants took to the woods on hunting and logging, a special bread. Now, even bread is almost everyone, and even the oven and the form is just there in every home. Well as printers at the ready! Print recipe old Lithuanian bread giving strength and heating in any frost.



   
First: remember that the science of bread baking — the science of proportions. And if it says in the recipe "teaspoon" means tablespoon, and no other. Take one and a half scoops of instant yeast, no more and no less. If we are talking about flour, we only need 170 gr. Weigh in the balance: a margin of error of plus or minus 5 grams. So rye flour — 170 gr. Weigh exactly 230 ml of water, whose temperature should be 20-25 degrees. All mix: so we make the dough. Let stand up.

Opara grew up? Very good. Take a sieve, gently sift 270 g wheat baking flour — just baking, on the package and should be labeled and added to the dough. Salt (1,5 tsp), 70 ml of kefir or yogurt, 2-3 garlic cloves, minced, black and red pepper, cardamom, finely chopped (diced 5-7 mm) easy rustic bacon and 1 tbsp of honey is added, and begin to knead the dough. Knead like a man, firmly, and leave for a couple of hours.

If there is a form, then we coat it with vegetable oil, and not — formable bread with your hands and make a few incisions with a knife across the surface, and all of our design will burst and burn.



 
Who have a bread maker, one can look through the manual for the programs: they could find appropriate. And the oven must heat to two hundred degrees. Grease the bread downed the egg in the oven! For 30-40 minutes.

Then, taking the bread, wrap it in a towel for about half an hour and not touch: inside of it are the most important processes of fermentation! Going to try earlier get the cereal in the crust.

But if done correctly, the bread will saturate for half a day in one piece! But who will resist and will not take the second? I have not seen such, well, except that he is now eating one accustomed to, but never tire of admiring, just don't be greedy. And bread — well, the comfortable thing, and most importantly — takes less time, although she also has her flaws. But the standard of the oven plate them anymore. And if there's a village, and there the stove, and grandmother, who will tell... Professionals need to believe!
 

And to drink? Hunger will not die. But now I want to drink. Do not drag a thermos of: break even. We already have a kettle — the old copper kettle that will boil 15 minutes on a decent camping stove. And besides — soup of aspic, and watered the whole company of tea, coffee or cocoa. In short, just a song. But we have for you another surprise from our worldwide international cuisine.
  
Mongolian? Yes. Buryat? Too. Tuvan? Guess again. Kalmyk? — right again!





Drink tea! Good to have a couple of plastic milk bottles. But you can of milk powder to take. And butter — definitely, one hundred grams. And a piece of tile Kalmyk tea. It is called "green," but there it present, bear-brown, in large plates. Less, really. But it's there.
 
So, 75 grams of the tea tiles, 1 Cup water, bring to a boil, pour 4 cups of milk and add a teaspoon of salt, a handful of 10 pieces of peppercorns, spices (cloves will fit, nutmeg). The traditional recipe recommends putting in the Kalmyk tea no sugar or honey. But who will forbid us?

After this drink becomes easier to breathe, he will not play a cold and a headache. But it is worth remembering that it can be sweat.



 

NB!Generally on any trip, not even winter, dry socks and a dry pair of t-shirts does not hurt.



And another is to have a newspaper, and a few better. Read, broaden their horizons, for example: "similarity collapse, the street DOE...". No, of course not it! Fell in the Creek? In the water on the shore? — Immediately put the victim in a well-built backpack:



Or (if pre-decided to sit in the woods longer and was not too lazy to carry so many, in fact, not very heavy items) here on this chair:



Build a campfire, and Newspapers into the shoes, the socks gently dried (not burned). By the way, in the snow to wash the socks can be not less effective than in water, if someone does not know. And still: at temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius wet socks need to be changed immediately!





Decided to stay in the forest?Or you are unexpectedly caught by the bad weather? Well, if it's a tent, it is better to have such a device:



Under a tent distribute spruce limbs, not sparing. Useful and such a lovely subject as camping Mat (aka "foam", it karemat):



Since I decided to sleep in the woods, you need a lights — large — two such, say:



And individual — to everyone. These are:





And as without Souvenirs? Best souvenir photo, but the camera in the cold fast is naughty: the card, the battery, the "carcass", the "dalnik". The solution is simple: a vest with pockets under the sweater and a maximum fine of spare batteries and cards with you!

Well no pictures on the memory? What friends tell?



Guitar out of fashion almost out, Yes in the cold and not play. There is a special technical devices and mobile phones with the function of the transmitter. Set up a small but loud the receiver in any noise, enable transmitter and nice soft music around the campfire are provided.

A man who is able to make the girl such a romantic campaign, and who has a girl who is not afraid to go with him is a lucky one. But in the winter in the woods is better two and even three pairs of people with experience. Note: without experience said! Forward, into the kitchen, to the store, soon the weekend! And girls don't like to wait!
 

Ski тропе

The route sign? Great. Distance big? Forty kilometers? Okay. Trails are everywhere? Also good. Everywhere there a signal? No? But the radio set at any sporting goods store consultant will give you all the information about the reliability and number of channels — very useful thing, useful. Then go for it! And to back up power, enough pieces of bread with bacon and chocolate. The sneakers don't take: get fat!
 

Well, a couple of words So why do you need polyethylene? From it you'll do if you went on a rampage wind screen that reflects heat divorced you fire at the place where you will jot down fir limbs, not to sit in the snow. Secure the screen on the poles that cut down here in the woods and strengthen between two shafts a belt-duct tape. Oh! And I forgot something, see how it is! But this next time in detail. And if you need to say a few words about the novelties and "starenko" equipment, — write in the comments! No problem. I'm happy to learn from others.
