Camp meals

[5guyshunting]

Pre-made or store bought, casseroles are great. Thawed out about 30 minutes on my weber grill. Babybacks, cook them for a couple hours at mid day, and warm them up for dinner. Frozen burritos in my portable Rhino stove for breakfast or lunch.

Breakfast can be;

1. Nothing.

2. Cup of instant oatmeal and some instant coffee.

3. A Banana. Maybe a Naked Juice like Green Machine or a Chocolate Protein Drink. I never cook breakfast when hunting except "maybe" the day before or the day after and I never come back to camp until the end of the day.

 

Deener OTOH,

1. Boneless chicken breast cut up and put in tin foil with potatoes, onions and chili peppers. One the grill for 30 minutes or so.

2. Lamb chops, marinate a few days before in a zip lock freezer bag with a TBL spoon of balsamic vinegar, cup of red wine or coffee, either fresh basil or rosemary, a few lemon wedges and crushed and chopped garlic cloves. Best to marinate for 3-4 days then freeze.

3. Salmon, either Coho or Copper River is preferred (never Atlantic or Farmed), pull or fillet off the skin and brown flesh, and put into freezer bags and freeze, cooks up in 20 minutes or so. I put it on tin foil with olive oil then on the grill with chopped/minced garlic with maybe some tyme.

4. Food City Carne Asade, already marinated.

5. Pre-Seasoned chicken quarters.

6. Von Hansens Brats with Sauer Kraut.

7 Dinty Moore.

8. Marinated or steak (if I have time) but either T-Bone, Porter Houses preferred. Ribeye is too fatty and greasy for me.

9. Veggies can be an assortment of fresh carrots, zuchinni or squash or red potatoes, maybe some canned beans, spiced up with chopped bacon or cinnamon, butter, curry or garlic.

 

 

I try to stay away from stuff with a lot of sodium and rarely ever use salt, pepper or sugar, just a few times a year. I also refrain from chips, cookies, crackers, pretzles and processed meats like provolone and salami except for once or twice a year. Also not soft drinks except for a Jarritos a few times a year.

 

Ever looked at the sodium content of dinty moore?

"Ya just poke a couple of holes in the lid and set it in the fire. When the label is burnt-off, ya know it's done..."

 

said the guy who brought 2cans of chili and a can of sardines for a three day trip...

I hunt hard, and like to eat good at camp. Prep time is no big deal.

 

Need that fuel to get my old bones up the mountainside.

Nope, we're on a don't ask/don't tell basis. I probably only eat it every few years though.

That's probably a good thing. I used to eat the stag chili like it was going out of style. Once in goofed and looked at the back..... never again!

We have really started pre making most of our meals the last few hunts I have been on. Make several breakfast burritos for breakfast each day. We can through them in the pack and eat while we start glassing. Lunch meat type sandwiches for lunch. And sometime smoke a pork shoulder, make homemade chili or what is really good is buy a Costco whole rotisserie chicken and bone it out and add it to a jar of that 505 Southwestern Green Chili sauce for dinners. Good stuff.
