Introduction
- Camping supply stores sell dehydrated and freeze dried meals that are lightweight and easy to carry. While these may be necessary if you're taking a backpacking trip where weight is an issues, they can get boring after a while. If you have a home base to store some basic supplies, you can make delicious meals while camping.
Step 1: Supplies Needed for Camping Food
- Regardless of whether you're cooking over a wood fire or a portable propane camp stove, there are some common supplies that will be useful as you cook at your camp site. If you're back packing, you'll want cookware that's light weight; if you're car camping, you may prefer cast iron as it retains heat and is easy to clean.
Step 2: Camping Food Tips
- Pack oatmeal premixed with sugar, salt, dried fruit, nuts, and dry milk for an easy breakfast.
- Chill foods well before leaving home so that they stay at a safe temperature of under 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling foods.
- Pack your cooler carefully, so that you don't need to take everything out to get to what you need. The first foods that you' are planning on using should be the last foods packed.
