Awesome stuff! Bookmarked it as well! I've been camping/cooking since I was a kid but most of it is high fat tastey stuff. This year my wife and I have committed to getting fit, so I need to learn to cook healthier stuff in the field. This will be great!

beau,
we have used vacuum sealing to bring cooked and uncooked food for camping meals. what's your thoughts on this? of course, it would require that you have a sealing system, but would you consider doing so in order to save yourself time? i looked at your rice example (takes lots of water) and thought that by cooking and sealing rice at home, you would save water on the trails
Like you'll ever use any of the recipes? Oh wait.. you'll just tell me to prepare some of these delicious looking dishes...Originally Posted by troyboy162

Great comment! We too use a vacuum sealer, quite often actually. We vacuum seal vegetables and meats for long-term storage. I am planning on discussing some vacuum sealing applications for camp cooking this year, so your thoughts are welcome!Originally Posted by Bob98SR5
I believe the more preparation you can do at home prior to departure, the better. If you look at my recipe for Pork Fried Rice, you will see I pre-cooked our rice at home and then stored it in a plastic container. I used a plastic container, in this case, because not everybody has access to a vacuum sealer, but it would be the perfect application.

There is a down side to this though, and that is cooler space. You will want to keep all of your cooked ingredients stored in your cooler. For long trips, this would require lots of cooler space. This would be a situation where lots of planning would be useful to determine how much pre-cooked ingredients you can get away with.

Awesome blog!
What is your experience with dehydrating foods? I've made up many dehydrated foods (spaghetti, chili, rice, veggies, etc.) for long-term food supplies to reduce the need for coolers and/or refrigerators and I've been fairly pleased with the results.

Either we have found the perfect addition to our kit at a garage sale or our trusty pieces just needs to be cleaned to remove the evidence of years of use, there comes a point in time when we need to breath some life into an old piece of camping cookware.
We love to use our old percolating coffee pot to boil water when camping, and there is no better way of doing it than right on the fire. After years of neglect, it was time to breath some life back into it and bring it back to it's original luster. For this project, we used Bar Keepers Friend to remove the accumulated soot and tar buildup.
