Thread: Favourite Camp Meal

What's everyone's favorite camping meals?! Looking for inspiration. Dehy not allowed... 🤣

Pan fried deer heart and eye fillets. Simple carry in meal= dehy spud,peas n savalouys all in same pot.boul savs first add peas,when they ready make spud with pink water.hot n simple.

Tandoori paste, yoghurt, bit of red onion and cucumber. Dice and marinade whatever you shoot in the spice and yoghurt for a good few hours. Cook through. Comes out nice and tender. Can serve with rice or throw into a wrap. Works well with at least duck, goose, chamois, and tahr.

If you are hungry it all tastes pretty good.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the bangers and mash, I also add in a gravy packet too

That does sound good! It's there a yogurt you'd recommend? My mind goes back to school lunches chocolate yogurt

Macaroni with plenty of bacon and cheese

I remember going on a tramp years ago in by where the Paparoa trail is now and we precooked pasta for about 8 people, and instead of divving it up amongst the group, one person carried it all in a large sistema box, barely left room for anything else on the pack!

Depends on camping situation. Drive to camp or readily accessible take a camp oven and have roast meat or a stew. Prep the night before, fire it up in morning while having breakfast. Let it look after itself during the day and finish off once back at camp.
If camping remotely, whatever is quick and easy. Can’t be faffed spending too much time making a meal after a full day hunting. As long as it’s nutritious and tastes reasonable all’s good.

singed wild pork belly strips with spuds watercress and doughboys - in place of pork bacon or domestic pork belly strips - feasts for a king- interesting those on here who eat liver and heart - 5 years culling we never ever ate heart or liver - in fact likely we would have had it thrown back at us if we had cooked it - we never ate goat either despite the fact at times were shooting hundreds funny fussy buggers

I thought I had cornered the market on this, but great minds I suppose. I make a little hole in the mashed spud, and use that to mix up the gravy mix.

Any plain unsweetened variety will suffice.

Another one I find is good for a larger (~4 people) group, good for first day.

1 pkt pre cooked fettucine
1 pkt smoked salmon
Lots of grated cheese
Sundried tomatoes
Mushrooms

I mix everyting except fettucine in one container to carry in. Cook/drain the fettucine, then while it still hot, mix in the rest.

Always a good idea to try new recipes at home first.

I'm a big fan of taking in some previously shot and frozen veni along with a packet of rice risotto, cook the veni first, put to one side, add water to the risotto and watch it like a hawk for the next 10-15 mins cos camp stoves run hot (and burned risotto is shite) once risotto is cooked, throw the veni back in to warm it through, add whatever you want, I'm big on some grated cheese. Any other frozen meat is good to take, with care you can get two main meals over 2 days out of it, likewise snags, tinned tomatoes, one of the ones with extra herbs etc and some pasta make for a good feed, slice yer sossys and brown off, tip in the toms, cook pasta in yer other billy...and add grated cheese to the lot, good dose of protein and carbs.

For brekky can't walk past porridge, knob of butter and honey, drop a scoop of protein powder into it gives it legs to fuel me for the day, plus a couple muesli bars and cheese/salami for lunch.

I run light as it is so a 2-3 day mission will see me drop a good couple kilo's as I just can't carry enough food to keep me on the plus side of the "calories burned today" register, so I generally exist in a permanent state of "a bit peckish" when hunting....keeps me keen tho!

Also, eggs, crack them into a ziplock...and put that into another ziplock.....go all morning if brekky is eggs...put the egg in the porridge and you'll go all day - this last may be an acquired taste!
