Feed Your Freedom
How The Mobile Lifestyle Disciplines Your Diet
Let's be honest. Americans eat too much. Get too little exercise. And not enough sun.
Getting out on the road is rarely prescribed for getting back in shape but it may be the best kept secret in health. A life on the road demands physical activity, daily hours under the sun and a diet that has evolved far beyond campground hot dogs and vending machine snacks. If you're looking to restrict your calorie intake while upping your exercise, you need to consider the mobile lifestyle.
Read on for details of the cooking tools designed specifically for extended stays on the road and the best resources for taking your campground cooking to the next level.
RWP's Favorite Tools
The right gear for the gut*
If you have power on the road, an electric skillet may be the only tool you'll need to prepare healthy and hearty meals.
Grab your preferred cooking oil and discover just how easy it can be to whip up a meal with a minimal footprint.
Meet a hungry man's best friend. The same tool that let Mom and Nana spend a little less time prepping in the kitchen is also one of the greatest conveniences for those in the mobile lifestyle.
Reintroduce yourself to the Crock Pot (a.k.a slow cooker) and those easy palette-pleasing recipes that can feed you for days.
What was good for the cowboy is good for the committed commuter. Cast iron pans and Dutch ovens are an important part of any mobile cooking toolkit.
Grab the right size cast iron for your crew, learn to clean it properly and find the over-the-campfire cooking recipes that tantalize the well-traveled tongue.
RWP's choice is the 12-inch Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder.
While many RVs come equipped with a refrigerator/freezer of the manufacturer's choice, Van Lifers and others with custom rides will appreciate the low wattage, and surprisingly spacious, portable fridge/freezer solutions on the market.
RWP's favorite? The Rockpals 12 Volt Refrigerator, 50 Quart (47L) Portable Freezer, Electric Cooler with fast cooling, handle, wheels, and solar charging option.
