What food should I bring camping?
There are many options if you're going to camp in an accessible place. If you won't be near roads or towns, and hunting, fishing, and foraging aren't options for you, dehydrated and freeze-dried foods are your best option for meals.
What is the most popular camping food?
While hot dogs and smores are very popular, they're not very healthy and less convenient on big camping trips than dehydrated meals, which keep well without refrigeration and only need boiling water to prepare.
What are some traditional camping foods and snacks?
Dried meats like jerky are common traditional camping and trekking foods, since they have a lot of protein and won't spoil over time like fresh foods. Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods are popular when there will be limited or no access to regular food.
How much food should I pack for my camping trip?
You should pack enough food to provide at least breakfast and dinner for each person every day you're out. At bare minimum, you'll want to meet the recommended caloric intake every day for everyone. If you're camping near a town, getting more food will be easy, but for trips into the bush, you should plan and pack accordingly.
Are freeze-dried camping foods any good?
What freeze-dried meals may lack in flavour and texture, they more than make up for by being easy to prepare, lightweight, and convenient. For long or difficult treks, there are few alternatives.
