Camping Food

Camping food takes the hassle out of cooking. Usually, the food comes in sealed pouches that you heat, such as in a pan of heated water. Then you tear the top off the pouch, and voila! Instant meal.

Camping food such as Mountain House Brand or Backpackers Country brands can be a very convenient way to eat. These meals have come a long way since the eraly days, and are quite tasty. There is a large variety to choose from too. The prepackaged camping food comes in whole meals you can purchase, or mix and match individual entrees, such as vegetarian, chicken entrees, beef, turkey, seafood and many more. The US Military has used similar meals with their M.R.E.'s (Meals Ready to Eat) with great success.

Camping food benefits include: your meals are already prepared (duh!) so they are less hassle, easy cleanup, light weight (no cans or can openers), and they don't take up much room. You also don't need to bring the pots and pans along (except for a way to heat them up). These benefits can really take some stress out of camping.

Camping food downsides are: cost as they are more expensive, and you lose your creativity for cooking while camping.
