I'm going away camping in a 3 weeks for two weeks
The topic of food came up so i thought what do people bring when they go camping, that is fast but tastes good, Packet food, fresh food give me your thoughts or recipes

Jan

usally we will make our meals before-hand and vac-freeze them. that way its a simple thing to just re-heat

spag bol
stews
etc

easy to prepare, and a good solid meal in your belly

I'd take some Dry foods that don't need refrigeration :

- Potatoes / Flour
- Rice / Noodles
- Biscuits / Crackers
- Dried fruit ( apricot / pears etc ... )
- Beef Jerky / chewy stuff

+ Some wet stuff :

- Water ( you can't ever take enough )
- Long life milk
- Tin can meals
- Alcohol

Also handy are the ration packs you can get from defence ( which despite appearance, are quite tasty ) among other essentials ...

- Hmmm ... Chocolate ...

& If you do have access to a portable fridge / freezer :

- Meat
- Veggies
- Ice-cream

Might come back to this as I rember what else ...


Cheers, Bantum ...

I've never been away for more than about 5 days at a time, but we always used to just have tinned stews, stroganoff, rice meals, pasta sauce pouches. And for dessert a tin of rice cream heated up with some tinned fruit thrown in is always a winner Breakfast was toast and cereals and long life milk, for lunches we usually took plenty of bread, metwurst, some sturdy cheese, a cucumber, punnet of cherry tomatoes and of course a big bag of chips.

What you take also depends alot on where you are going and if re-supplies are easily available or are you going into the middle of nowhere for 2 weeks straight. In that case WATER! MRE's as Bantum suggests, dried fruit, nuts (scroggin ) 2 minute noodle type stuff, dehydrated etc etc.

And if you have one, don't forget to take the camping fridge!. I remember after putting up a big tent in the hot sun, sitting down with an ice cold fizzy drink seemed like an incredible luxury But then that was years ago when camping fridges weren't an every day necessity. And that time it was summer not winter like it is now.

old el paso soft tacos / fajitas

1 frypan meal. delicious

chop the ingredients before you go and its even easier.
