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 tooQuote:

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!Quote:

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.Quote:

1 pkt pre cooked fettucine
1 pkt smoked salmon

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!
I put one of those little boxs of raisuns in the porridge and brown sugar
Wifes pi so a good simple feed is finely chopped onion, a tin of spagetti and a tin of corned beef all cooked together
Cheese and salami for lunch.
Freeze dried or OSM for breakfast.
Night freeze dried for their weight and ease of prep they honestly take a bit of beating.
I'm with you on dehy - can't stand them and they wreck my gut.
GoNative meals are worth a look. They're super easy (just boil for 2-3 mins and ready to eat), and pretty delicious. A knob of butter or a squeeze tube of sour cream always adds to it. $13 for a main meal and mashed spud is pretty reasonable - buy the 3 or 10 meal pack.
I'm kinda over freeze dry so lately I've been taking a small tin of Palm corned beef and a bag of instant potato. Heat the tin of beef in boiling water for a couple of minutes then remove. Make up mashed spuds with the hot water then dump the corned beef back in the mashed spuds, delicious. You could easily add some dried peas etc if you are so inclined.
I've also used those cardboard box meals you get from the supermarket, can't remember the name but my favorite was butter chicken. Same deal, heat the pouches in boiling water.
Breakfast is either a Dingos breakfast or overnight oats. Mix up some oats and milk powder at home in a zip lock bag, then when on the hill add water and stir before you go to bed and next morning it's good to go.
Decent chunk of home kill salami to keep me going through the day.
For two nights out second night corn beef just all in one pot spuds carrots cabbage we never bother with the instant meals always fresh food but two nights about our average time outexcept for roar then sauasages corn beef bacon ends thats 3 nights steak first night -
Tinned corned beef and raw onion sandwich. My favourite hill food. Note: May be consumed on public or private land, it makes no difference to the experience.
yes sir standard lunch hut and track work cant beat tinned corn beef with onion and a hint of tomato relish -- sardines for a change with onion --in the tractor peanut butter and jam a fovourite but all time favourite sliced roast mutton with pickle bloody great- I get my pickles from the garage sales good home made stuff - luxury these days lolQuote:

An old platoon sergeant once told me that anyone can be uncomfortable in the bush ……. but you don’t have to be.
I am coming with you Rushy
Oops read it to the end ,excluding dehy a good feed of sausages mashed spud with onion in it and mixed veges.
Especially for your kids, they will not eat what adults like.
Boil them, fry them, with spuds, with rice chuck in a packet curry mix whatever.
bacon.
bacon been buying the packets of bacon ends lately better than that razor thin stuff get some decent chunks used to really like me bacon bones but they are now to pricey and not worth it
i'm lucky to be very close to the butchers which makes fantastic bacon. its dry cured, never needs draining and he will cut it to any thickness i ask forQuote:

Sometimes I'll grill it over a fire or slow cook in a pot or camp oven with a dried vege mix.
This wee camp oven is 1L, perfect for a feed on my own when near the vehicle or kayak.
For the first night I'll often grab a packet of frozen leftovers, by the time I have walked in its ready to be heated through.
On porridge I take quick oats, milk powder and drinking chocolate all mixed together and heat to eat by adding boiling water, the drinking chocolate means you don't need to add sugar.
