camping trip meal planning

[cb]

It took me a while, but I finally realized that I tend to fix the same camping meals over and over. They are tried and true, with no need to try to improve. Finally, I started keeping a list of menus, divided into dry camp outings (no appliances) and those with hookups (toaster oven, crockpot, etc.). Then I subdivided into short trips (depending on chilled foods) and longer (lots of cans), with grandkids (plain and non-spicy, but plentiful) and without (more adventuresome, but not as much). Now I have lists of menus appropriate for all sorts of trips. Saves tons of time in deciding what to buy, pack and take along!! Who knew?

I haven't gone to the extent that you have, but I do have a list of breakfast, lunches and dinners to make when we camp.  When I plan the menus for a trip I look at the list.  I also was getting stuck making the same meals over and over.

Any chance you have your meals or lists on the computer that could be emailed?  Right now I am just getting stuck at home with the same meals or the boredom of planning 3 meals with all the food groups etc.  I am sure you know what I mean.  But we have 4 camping trips booked already this year so I will have to prepare for that and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Shelly

Yeah! that would be great!  

I'm just begin my PU adventures, and I'd love to have a peek into what the experienced folks do!  

Any chance the lists could be posted?  
Please?

now that's a "mod" i'd like.  my dh would live on hot dogs & burgers - I want to try new things but can't get it together.  since camping is my thing and 1/2 the time its me and my daughters I put together all the camping stuff so the food is just one add'l thing.  it would really be appreciated.!!!

I would also like to see if that list can be posted or mailed.  You have an excellent resource, and you are lucky you have been able to break your trips down like that

Being ADHD, I often don't even think of meals until someone is crying that he or she is hungry. I planned a father/son outing with my Dad once and forgot to pack half of the food. Needless to say, that was one short trip.

I, too, would be interested in a copy of the list if we can convince you to e-mail to us.  

Pretty please....
