The Ideal Foods For Camping Trip

By George Dodson


For those who love the outdoors camping is one of the more enjoyable activities. Being one with nature is something that we should do once in a while. You can actually feel the best things that nature and life can offer in every camping activity.

With your tent up, the fire prepared, with plenty of wood on standby, you're ready to enjoy the experience.

Of course, camping also requires meal preparation. Having said that, what food selection can you have in a camping trip?

You need to pay attention to considerations when planning what kind of food to bring on your camping trip. Will you be traveling to your camping site by vehicle, or will you be packing in the campsite?

It's obvious that if you're going to bring a vehicle, you got places where you can put food, regardless of weight. However, if you're going to walk on foot to your camping destination then you would want to consider bringing something light.

You can simply bring frozen goods or foods that can be stored in coolers such as corn on the cob as well as potatoes if you're moving to the campsite by vehicle. It is really advantageous if you bring a cooler in the event you're using a vehicle.

The first food item that is greatly recommended on camping trips is the corn on the cob. You can place them right on the grill just as they are, making sure you turn them on occasion. Be sure and keep them away from the flames as much is possible. To determine if they're ready for consumption, you can just peel a bit of the husk and check if tender. If they're ready, you can sprinkle with pepper and salt or smother with butter to make it more tasty.

Potatoes are an excellent food to take with you on your camping trip. You will find that this sort of food can be prepared in dozen of ways. Among the ways are cooking it in coal by wrapping it with tin foil. As soon as you think that they're already cooked, you can then pull them out of the coal and carefully unwrap it for consumption.

One more food stuff you can bring in your camping trip are beans. It's easy to boil water over a campfire, and with the right equipment such as a cast iron pot, you can easily prepare them right there. You can also precook them, freeze them in plastic bags, and bring them along on the camping trip. When it comes time for your meal, just insert the plastic bags in some boiling water and you have some delicious beans.

With all these mentioned, it really is important to prepare your food a day before the camping event. You can keep them cold with a small cold pack, until time they're ready to eat.
