Favorite Camp Food

I’m the same way—like to have a bunch of “grab and go” meals dialed in before camp. I usually knock everything out with my Avid a420XL since I can line up two bags at once and crank through batches pretty fast. Chili or stew works great because it freezes flat and warms up fast at camp. I’ll usually have some brats or tenderloin pre-marinated and sealed, ready for the grill. I also portion out jerky, cheese, and trail mix into smaller bags so you’re not digging through one big one
 
Mine and the husbands pack-in "go to" was a discovery when we were down in Argentina -- the grocery store had things like: whole goat and dulce de leche -- and scratching our heads for what to pack in for 8 days climbing in the backcountry: liptons chicken noodle with dried tortellini.

as the kids say IT SLAPS especially when one is cold, wet, hungry, and in need of salt
 
My brothers 43 and I promise eats at least a half dozen cans a week. I have a mtn house/Peak or sausage and cheese at lunch he eats a can of ravioli and Vienna sausages.
Chef boyardee beef ravioli was a staple growing up. Kinda stuck with me.
 
Did a few nights spiked in last week, made all precooked real meals instead of freeze dried. I froze most stuff after cooking it and put it all in an Ursack inside an insulated cooler bag, for the drive put that in a cooler with frozen jugs and dry ice for if I hadn't chumped it on 2 different opportunities at bulls. Ate the stuff that started thawing fastest first, but took almost 4 days for everything to be thawed.

I like the breakfast burritos but my wife's biscuits and gravy with homegrown sausage might be my new favorite breakfast, heats up really quickly too. Don't want to freeze the gravy though so shorter shelf life.

Did cheese burgers with homegrown bacon, tomatoes, pickles, store jalapeños and lettuce. Also have leftover pulled pork from a pig we bbqd over the summer. Also like to precook brats, works for any meal of the day for me.

Brought stuff to make grouse/hare soup but no luck there.
 
Canned quick meals, spaghetti-os,raviloi, beef stew, SPAM, bean with bacon. sometimes a two course chili cheese dogs, Creamy chicken ramon noodles with canned chicken meat. I try to bring along frozen spaghetti and meatballs, love refried spaghetti, does something to the tomato flavor. Deer bologna and polish sausage. Yeah, I'm not planning on living forever.
