Re: Camping Best Meals Guideline
Although I try to keep meals simple and cleanup easy, I normally do the traditional picnic foods/some of the following;
Stop and get prepared potato salad , macaroni salad and potato chips... all are good for multiple meals.
normally I get, or fry up some chicken the day before leaving, for a cold fried chicken lunch either on the way or when/after I get there.
I almost always pre-nuke some 'taters and wrap them in foil to be reheated in the campfire coals.
Hamburgers are traditional as are pork chops and occasionally steaks.... grilled; or fried if there is a fire ban.
I occasionally do French fries although hauling all that oil (in and out) is a minor hassle...best done on a stove to keep the fries/oil from becoming flambé.
Dehydrated potatoes can be rehydrated for mashed potatoes and/or thick, fried, potato pancakes (to go with the meat).
Since I almost always camp around 9K or 10K feet, in the mountains, boiling anything takes some patience because or the water's lower boiling point (got a small pressure cooker to hopefully remedy this)... decent pasta, in a reasonable time is now probably a reality.
If in a hurry for lunch; hotdogs and the campfire are quick and very easy...
Enjoy!
