What food should I take on a hiking and camping trip?

  • Answer:

    If you want to cut down on pack weight and make meal preparation easy I suggest you take freeze dried meals. You only need hot water to prepare them. There are many to choose from but in my opinion Mountain House brand is far better than any other brand. Some of my favorites are beef stroganoff, lasanga with meat sauce and chicken teriyaki. If you like New England style chowder the seafood chowder is awesome. Just make sure you take some crackers to go with the chowder. Bagels are also a good trail food. For breakfast I'll cut a bagel in half, pan fry it in margarine until it's toasted brown and have it with strawberry jam, cream cheese or both. You can get individual packs of cream cheese and jam at some bagel shops and they don't require refrigeration. Some people think freeze dried meals are expensive, but consider the cost of a meal at McDonalds. Five dollars isn't that bad for two hot servings out in the wilderness. This place has has the best prices on Mountain House meals by far. http://www.vitacost.com/MountainHouseProducts Have fun and don't leave any trash behind.

I know weight is a consideration, but depending on the size of your group & the length of your hike, here is one of my favorite camping meals...if you don't have to carry it too far... (maybe put it in one of the kids backpacks) If you can take a large pot & water, this is a great family meal...it's really hot & hearty. take a small head of cabbage, 6 or 8 potatoes, 6 or 8 large carrots & a pack or 2 of beef kielbasa. Cut it all into 2" pcs(cabbage in eighths), throw in a large pot with lid & boil for about 45 minutes...Its a full balanced meal & you can drink the hot cabbage liquor(broth) on the side...It's sooooo good!!!

Granola makes a good on trail snack for meals MRE's and Freeze Dried are great. I also like to pack Ramen and prepare it with olive oil and parmesan cheese.

I don't know what you should take but I know you should just make sure animals cant smell any of it. We too bread once and the raccoons riped through the tend and took it lol.

In my mind there is nothing better than Mountain House Beef Stroganoff. 310 calories of pure goodness. They have a lot of other good meals too.

one thing that helped spice up my camp cooking was my dehydrator (you can use an oven on lowest setting with door cracked). I brown hamburger meat and rinse it well to get most fat off and then dry it until it crumbles add it to packaged noodles (I like stroganoff or noddles with broccoli in garlic sauce) you can also dry a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce and add to water, freshly cooked pasta and add some dried hamburger usually had dried onions, green peppers, and garlic with me as well

you can go to a army navy shop and get some mre's. The food the military uses that you just add water too. My husband used to be in the army and he said that's what he would do! Have fun!
