Cooking on the Trail

[garface]

I have the GSI outdoors bugaboo set. Folds up nicely and cleans very easily.
Bugaboo Camper Cookware Set | GSI Outdoors

+1 On the Bugaboo, I have the base camper set which just has the pots and skillet, a small fold-out grill, and a cast iron skillet in a plastic storage bin along with seasoning, utensils, and cleanup stuff that I can grab and throw in the truck at a moment's notice without having to worry about forgetting anything. I try to make one-pot meals if possible, but having this setup has me covered for whatever I want to make.

This is just some of my camp kitchen setup.

Got this at REI on sale. Also turns in to a table.

Carry dry goods, utensils, and paper stuff for when water is low. Also an iron skillet because it’s a cast iron skillet.

The bugaboo camp set.

Misc seasonings that work with everything and some Pam.

It has a wet pocket side just for dish stuff.

Griddle fits perfect in the front pocket. Plus a deck of cards and some hand sanitizer. Also keep Clorox disinfectant wipes. And a couple flashlights.

All packed up. We will throw in some other random dry stuff and lighter fluid and bug spray and sunscreen. Of course quick snacks are in a bag in the front seat. This setup has been working out great for me for years. If I packed it smarter I could probably fit my Coleman triton stove on top. But we are spoiled with all the room in the 4R so that is in its own bag.

The handle works great. In fact my only complaint is that there aren’t two in the kit!

I noticed that too which kind of sucks. I might just have to try this. I wish the wall was higher on the pan as well. I dont care for plastic cups and what not as we usually bring out own. Washing is a pain on the trail so we just bring disposable plates.

I like how the lids for the pots can be used as strainers. great for veggie and pasta.

+1 on the cast iron. yeah i know its heavy but damn does it get the job done. actually only skillets i have at home. ditched the fancy high prices shit years ago.

for 1 meal before i leave i'll dice up some chicken breasts, green/red peppers and red onion. some times i'll add grape tomatoes. throw it in a zip lock and drench it in pesto to marinate. few stainless steel kabob skewers and your ready to make your kabob as soon as the fire is lit. little to no cleanup as well

We keep it simple and traditional. Bacon/eggs for breakfast. Typical sandwiches for lunch. Hobo dinners. Then at times, I break out the Dutch oven for cobbler or rolls.

But my favorite to this day is casting a line and frying up some fresh caught fish.

Pasta salads are also super for camping
Basil pesto + whatever protein you want.. mmmmmmm

Anyone able to suggest some non stick camp ware. I currently use my home stuff on my portable stove but not having a folding handle is slightly harder for packing. I will not be using it in the camp fire

Be careful with the non stick, in have found that it comes off pretty easy and it can't be good for you

Funny I came across this, I'm about to start a series on my YouTube channel and blog about camp cooking.

I have found that the staples are dehydrated mash potatoes, canned beans, and shells and cheese! For meats I always have chicken, i prefer boneless skinless thighs and sometimes steak. I have found that soft shell tortilla are far better to bring instead of bread and you can use them for the same as bread and more. Lots of wraps, and tacos to reduce the amount of clean up since they only require 1 hand to eat. Subscribe to my channel, I will start the camp cooking videos within a month. www.youtube.com/c/sirwilliamadams

I like to premake breakfast burritos and wrap them in tin foil for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and smoked sausage or bbq chicken with sides for dinner. Typically I eat better while on the road/trail than at home.

ok, now, I'm definitely hungry. I'm really jealous when I see such images, I mean, I don't have so much time and desire to cook something special for myself. There are days when I cook something, but it's usually because of my boyfriend who loves when I cook him. On the daily basis I use Panini Press Grill by Aicok, which I've purchased thanks to the wellfed blog. I make some sandwiches and rush to my workplace. Besides, sandwiches are extremely good). I was at a crossroads when I was planning to buy a panini press. There are so many models and brands available that it's too easy to get confused. The only thing which helped me was this blog. If you have some doubts while making choice regarding kitchen appliances or foodstuff, it's for you, you can find more info here.

I precook my eggs and place it in a ziplock bag. Eggs + extra virgin olive oil, salt/pepper, green onions, dried shallots. I just eat them up with rice or veggies and I'm eating in no time. I hate dealing with cooking fresh eggs.

 

[xyzzy]

I smoke ribs, pork, brisket, and chicken on my Big Green Egg, then shred and vacuum seal the results into flat portions sized for what they'll be used for - half racks of ribs per bag, a cup or two of pulled pork per bag, etc.... I freeze these portions and pull out whatever I need for trips.

I also vacuum seal and freeze curry, beans, meatballs, stews, etc...

To heat, just drop unopened bag in a pot of water, bring to serving temp, serve with fresh ingredients, and use the hot/boiling water for what you'd normally use hot water for - coffee, tea, dishes, water bottles...

You can buy by the pound and just cook it up in a pan add some avocados and tortillas, pretty good and easy.Always scramble eggs at home and put them in a water bottle, same goes for pancake mix

I enjoy camp cooking so maybe we do a bit more than “normal” but I like to think it earns a little good karma when I cook for the camp crew. My staples are bacon and egg burritos with hot sauce for breakfast. Lunch is typically skipped or snacked through if we’re on the trial. Sometimes I’ll smoke some pork or brisket beforehand to take as good tasty snacks. Dinner staples are steak fajitas in a caste iron skillet. Carrot, potato, and chicken hobo meals, “pizza bowl” which is basically quinoa, ground beef or turkey, onions, tomato paste, peppers, and mozzarella in a cast iron or Dutch oven. I do lots of tacos and stuff too. Most trips consist on some previously smoked meat. Last trip with did pork loin stuffed with jalapeño and cream cheese with some veggies. Was a big hit.

(I apologize in advance) Green smoothies while camping? ::toilet::toilet::toilet:

 

[GupsT4R]

We are a camp fire dutch oven family..anything that can be frozen then tossed in a pot over a camp fire is a win for us. Stew Chili Spaghetti are all great. Tho Grilled steak and coal baked potato are favs too.

It would help to know if how long you were gong for -- sorry if i missed that detail somewhere -- and if you have a fridge. The fridge makes all the difference in the world.

Something I learned a long time ago is that if you're going far off for a while, taking frozen food in a fridge will keep this extra cool as it thaws. Coming from a bike packing/adventuring climbing background -- the dehydrator became my best friend. I have dehydrated and later hydrated everything from jerkys to pasta sauces and eggs. It's amazing what a little garlic, oil, salt and pepper can add for flavor. Throw a little tobasco or sriracha on there and boom -- you can't go wrong.

The foil wraps are an incredible way to cook stuff simply and with very little cleanup. Toss some fish, veggies, lemon, garlic, and a little oil in a foil envelope. Seal and on any heat source from camp stove to camp fire -- and a little while later (time depends on the fish/thickness/etc.) -- something delicious appears. Virtually no clean up besides the foil in your trash bag.
