Thread: Favourite Camp Meal

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.

At a road end anything is possible.



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.

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 for

I like to carry a seasoning mix that'll go with whatever, this one works with duck, eel, trout, veni, goat, pork, whatever I've wrangled that day.
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.
