Cooking on the Trail

[brandonkaren]

I also used to go rafting with my parents when i was a teenager. I recently relived that experience with my girlfriend and i almost cried because i missed them so much. They also taught me cooking in the woods. I still to this day own the knives my mom gifted me when i got into gooking myself.

Sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky, protein bars, veggies, chicken wings or drumsticks, tinned fish.

a bit lazier than most of you...;-p

Maybe we're just lazy but by the time we stop for the day the last thing we want to do is make a big production of meals...We're "Mountain House" brand dehydrated food fans...
1/2-3/4 cup of boiling water and 8-10 mins later a hearty, filling meal in a bowl...good variety of meals so not boring...
For warm/hot meals on the road we have a 12v slow cooker about the size of a small loaf of bread...prep a few large potatoes with butter, seasonings etc wrap in foil and by the time we're ready for a driver change/break the smell lets us know its ready...especially nice when cold/snowing...we've done cans of stew/soup and the like...

I keep it simple, I worry about getting the sh*ts

 

[McLoven1t562]

I typically keep it pretty simple with things like chicken breasts, carne asada, hot dogs, hamburgers, bacon, sausage, pancake batter in a bottle (those "add water & shake) n stuff like that.

Now if we're doing a special event or something, i'll bring my portable pellet smoker and my generator then smoke up stuff like multiple tri tips, whole chickens, and stuff like that.

Most my trips are only 2 or 3 days though, so for the sake of capacity and cook time. Just stick with simple foods that are still delicious.

The possibilities are honestly limitless lol

If I have a few days, usually this. I have a travel size pellet smoker that uses minimal power. Brisket then turns into BBQ sandwiches, French dip, brisket and hash etc etc.

Shrimp tacos on corn tortillas with salsa hits hard. Fry them with butter. Stupid simple but feels fancy. Buy the cheap frozen uncooked shrimp at Costco and use them as a little extra ice in your cooler til dinner.

I don't know how I came across this thread, but I usually cook over fire the biggest, best quality tri-tip I can find (3 lbs) the first night and saw on it for the next few days - breakfast quesadilla suizas, lunch sandos or tacos. I always make sure I have cilantro, green onions, peppers, avocados, cheese, olives, salsas and beer. Taters and green veggies, if possible. Some coffee and whiskey, maybe a nug and I'm set. Tupperware type storage and a nice cooler is a must. This is for solo multi-day bug outs when I don't have anyone to worry about but myself. Bon appétit.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that camping with friends who are masters at cookery can make things pretty competitive.

When my crew does multi-day camping trips, we all take on either a breakfast, lunch or dinner and compete for culinary accolades. It can result in some pretty interesting "in the field" cuisine well above and beyond the traditional burgers and dogs.

One side benefit is that is motivates everyone to continue camping with us as they know they'll get some sort of weird masterpiece they normally wouldn't have.

Another interesting resource worth looking into is Fire to Fork

lol I know that exact feeling. I consider myself quite the griller/smoker, and there are select guys in our circle of friends who insist they're better, so naturally that brings competition to anything we're doing. Backyard, or in the middle of the desert. We're grillin/smokin somethin and we're out to be #1!!! lol

Sheez, Fire to Fork is a find. I'm making some fried chicken sammies on the trail next time.

Yeah.. that guy is a BEAST. Has some pretty exotic cook outs and has been featured with 4xOverland and Ronny Dahl.

I need to get a wok and make pork fried rice on trail.
