hodgy s your trip tips gearing up for while we all look for that new buzz in life and the chance to find something new exciting unbelievable beautiful or just different in this big country the journey can take you to some amazing places i ve been so fortunate in my life to have experienced some really special nature rich environments but they re very rarely next to the highway or in the park down the road generally the more effort you put into travel and greater the distance you get between you and suburbia the more special the whole experience these days remote travel doesn t mean you may have to live off jerky muesli bars goannas grubs and water camp cooking books and adventure dvds by legends such as malcolm douglas who was and still is my hero and companies such as hillbilly camping gear who have a 200 recipe camp oven book take all the guess work out so amazing meals can be whipped up with confidence long trips mean meat such as lamb beef pork and chicken roasts need to be kept frozen and obviously an engel fridge is the best choice but for trips that are only 3 or 4 days long the new generation of poly eskies are as good as ice boxes get and keep things more than cold enough inner and outer skins bungs hinges handles and seals are all top notch and built to take a real flogging even someone as heavy as me can use it as a seat without worrying about warping or twisting it not everywhere sells block ice and i tend to make mine in the freezer at home with old 2 litre juice bottles or ice cream containers and put a few on the bottom beers that need to be dead cold are then nestled on top of the block ice and a couple of bags sprinkled amongst them and get the right gear to suit your needs then tucker on top this lasts much longer with the additional blocks in fact i ve got up to a week out of the above system ice slurries for keeping fish fresh are noticeably slower to melt considering the air seals are so effective and the inners of the skins are void of air pockets or bubbles obviously less expensive usually means lesser quality so that $50 special at the super market is going to cost you much more in ice and wasted food if the inevitable happens and the food goes off confidence in your equipment is as big a concern as any other part of travel and camping and apart from your vehicle water and swag the most important thing to make sure is up to scratch is the refrigeration or food cooling system once a day tilt the esky up so that any water gravity feeds towards your bung hole and drains this will make sure ice is at its coldest water will melt ice quicker so it s important to get rid of it every day so while my engel eclipse is a valuable part of my kit for long term travel my engel esky is just as important for the shorter trips and for keeping fish in slurries often both are taken if the main ambition is to top up on top class fillets for the table at home only fish that are needed for the immediate future are taken and fish that have been frozen for more than around two weeks in my opinion are inferior eating this also means that i have to go fishing when the fillets run out too ahhhh the things we have to do hey get out and enjoy this country and remember to gear up properly stay safe and tread lightly dave the barefoot fisherman hodge david hodge aka hodgy appears nationally at shows and events presenting lure casting tricks sharing his fishing knowledge and tips 12

travelling travelling tips just a few the main choice with an engel is whether to use it as a fridge or a freezer fridge or freezer when travelling on a long trip you may wish to keep your engel as a freezer and utilise an esky or ice box to keep your days food use your engel to freeze ice bricks and then transfer to the cooler to maximise freezing performance pack meat into meal size containers and store ensuring adequate airflow around each container travelling with friends if you re travelling with a friend who has an engel and you are cooking meals together you can plan menus so that you can run one engel as a fridge and the other as a freezer or even better one of the latest technology combination fridgefreezers for those who have the space to carry the mt60f-combi or the mt80f-combi separate fridge and freezer compartments make both units a breeze to operate extended stays if you re planning to stay in the one spot store your engel in cool locations preferably a shady place were there is a breeze having an engel transit bag also assists in the efficiency of the unit in extreme temperatures if you re using a generator make sure the leads are kept dry you can turn off the generator overnight safely without damaging the food as long as you don t open the unit too often food storage when packing your vehicle always keep in mind things that you need most frequently have a kitchen box and your engel conveniently placed so you have ready access to food also ensure that your engel and other storage items are secure in case of an accident engel has a range of sliding and locking systems that suit most needs for safety have your engel secured to your vehicle with an approved fixing device see accessories have an auto electrician check that your accessory plug is the correct amperage and if your outlet is at the rear of your vehicle ensure that at least a 6mm of cable has been installed ensure your engel has plenty of ventilation place your engel facing one side of your vehicle so that other equipment can t block the ventilation be aware that your vehicle battery may not provide enough power to start your vehicle after running your fridge/freezer for extended periods see accessories trip preparation a quick getaway or the trip of a lifetime with your engel means you want to be able to throw some food in the engel and head off at a moments notice for a short break the amount of planning required is usually minimal just grab some gear and food and you re off the spontaneity almost says no planning required if you have forgotten something it doesn t matter either grab it at the shop or go without it the reverse happens for the big trip as you could be miles from anywhere and the detail in the planning will really pay off the most important thing is to make a list a few weeks before you head off and pre pack as much gear as possible and compartmentalise everything in storage bags or containers so you can find everything easily eg kitchen gear in one container dry food in another there are a number of options on how to keep your food on a trip personal preferences on food type space in your vehicle whether you re travelling in a group length of your trip and availability of shops to name with your engel 13
