 I like a fry-up and would like to combine this event whilst on a long leisurely walk at the weekend, bit fed-up with noodles and packet soups but when you start looking at the extra stuff like fry-pan (very difficult to get a small lightweight pan) eggs, bacon , oil and mess it it all adds up, pop can cooker would help reduce weigh, but not sure if it would cope with this…. Anybody got any ideas on a plausible approach in terms of gear …..i could just go and buy a breakfast before or after my walk –but I enjoy cooking whilst out and about

 You've answered it yourself. If you wan't a fry-up, carry the gear!

 If you want a fry-up and don't want to carry the gear, then leave everything to chance! I once fled the dreaded midges-in-the-glen in the Galloway Hills and pitched my tent on the very top of The Merrick just to be free of them. I thought I'd have the place to myself, but just as it was getting dark, two Scots guys arrived and pitched their tent. In the morning, they woke me gently with an offer of sausages and bacon. I didn't have to carry it up, and I didn't have to wash up afterwards. How could I refuse?

 Sausages!!!!!  Don't forget the sausages!

http://www.frybake.com/So very sorry there David, as I do seem to have inadvertently quite missed reading your other threads upon this subject over the last few recent weeks, whilst I've been feeling rather poorly and not posting that much; as you sought the Holy Grail of outdoors lightweight frypans here. The USA NOLS courses, and too lots of their Outward Bound courses out there across the pond too, all seem to like to use these things here at link, if it's of any interest to you. Invented by a former NOLS course instructor in wilderness living skills. I know of no UK importer though right now, so it is an order in from the States item essentially only really, if you do actually still want one of these fine items.

http://www.highlander-outdoor.com/Cooking/Cook_sets/LightweightFrypan.htmlOr small link too here. - The one I had for about four months, but gave away to a friend going trekking in Canada, was a cheap Highlander one available quite widely here. It is not that heavy, but is not as long lasting a product maybe as the USA ones already above mentioned. It is really rather nicely cheap and cheerful I thought though, and good value for money.

Plan your route to pass through somewhere with a cafe, have a full English, then on your way with no washing up
|
|
lol. Of course! Hard trick to do in some regions though, a lot do tell seem to find!

 What I sometimes do, is cook my bacon and sausages at home, put them in a plastic bag, and mix with a tin of beans, (possibly freeze so it lasts for the next morning if wildcamping overnight), then its all ready to pop in a pan and heat up for a proper breakfast

I see just now at the Cotswold website they currently do a Hi Gear cheap frypan, that looks nigh on identical almost to the Highlander one too, at just seven quid.

 Nothing wrong with the Trangia frying pan, easily avaialble, not too heavy. Mind has produced a great many fried brekkies in its 21 years and counting career. Pete.

thanks everyone i will investigate

For other frying, my Titanium pot comes with a frying pan lid, with non-stick ceramic lining. Just right for frying up some garlic & a chilli to add to whatever noodles/pasta & sauce I've got lined up.

frying pan lid with non-stick ceramic lining - would that be the snow peak chairmon bill ?
|

David, it's an Air Kovea set I bought half price from BPL. Split the set with a mate - there were two pots with lids - leaving me a largish pot & lid, just the right size to accomodate my old Trangia kettle.
