Query by christiane: Is it incorrect to drink beer when camping with a church group?
We are going camping with a church group from United Methodist. This will be my 1st camping trip with this group, and I’m not confident what the etiquette is about drinking beer when camping with a church group. I know individuals at the church drink beer, so I was just curious.

I wouldn’t do it. Particularly if you can consider of one gossip andor don’t know who the gossip is. There’s constantly one, always. Drink water.

Query by Dreamer8Dz: How do you maintain food from spoiling when camping?
Im going camping in like two weeks and I was questioning how you maintain your meals from spoiling. I know you place it in a cooler with ice, but how about meats and stuff? I dont want to consume canned foods daily. Please enable.

nicely i am certain you know to cover the meals and all of that.
the only thing i can tell you that you could possibly not know and i am often amazed by how quite a few folks dont know is as well not open the bags of ice by a soild block of ice continue to keep the bag closed and the ice last a great deal longer. same factor with the cubes but they melt more quickly then the strong block.

Are you an alcoholic or something? If you’re worried about it, then just bring soda! Then if you see it’s cool, next time you can bring some brewskies.
Or, hell, if you really want to, then just smuggle in some cans and keep em in your tent. If it turns out beer is OK, then you can drop them in your cooler and act like nothing’s weird.
I am a wino from way back and a church goer. Since the camp-out is a church sponsored event then I would say not to imbibe in the Holy sacraments in bulk quantity. The Bible tells us not to do things that would cause others to stumble even though the good book says not to judge one another. I would still bring my favorite drinks only use one of those can covers so that no one see’s else-wise and just not drink so much that others may become judgeful.
Church and Beer don’t go together. Leave the beer at home.
You are likely to be judged harshly if you do.
WOW all of the above people malke it sound like there’s something wrong with drinking beer–last i checked it wasnt illegal or morally wrong…i went to a church festival about 3 weeks and they had a beer tent, go figure!!! drink away dude, you wont go to hell for having a few beers on a camping trip
I think there is a fine line between being respectful and giving up who you are for the sake of others. I think that as long as you aren’t a lush and drink excessively that you should be able to partake in a few brewskis. That being said, you should also be willing to accept the consequences of your actions. If they are offended, then you must be prepared to deal with that.
keep refrigirated or on ice at all times. meats or dairy products must be cold at all times.just put in a ice chest and keep the ice inside at all times. keep the lid on or the ice will melt too quickly
In a cooler with ice will be fine. Use 1 cooler for food that will not be opened very often and another for beverages and snacks that will be opened several times a day. If I am camping for an extended time, I use a third cooler with nothing but extra ice.
I camp often with the Boy Scouts and learned a few tips to keeping food safe:
When we camp, we partially pre-cook a lot of food. Cooked meat keeps a lot longer than raw meat.
Freeze meat that you won’t be eating the first day. It will then act as an ice block to help food around it cold.
It’s very important to replenish the ice every day. Make it the first thing you do in the morning or the last thing you do each night.
Remember: Life begins at 40. This is not age; it’s degrees farenheit.
Plan your meals out a head of time. Freeze everything you can first. The first week start with the more perishables. For breakfast have bacon or sausage with eggs (eggs keep well) at first and move to cereals or pancakes later. For lunch start with lunch meats like sliced roastbeef or turkey then move to the canned foods and don’t forget about peanut butter and jelly. For supper I would probably have with burgers and chicken (after thawing only good for a few days), mix in a steak here or there. Move then to hot dogs they keep well while cold for a long time and see if you can get ahold of some dehydrated meals for supper at an out doorsman store, many now days are actually quite good.
You could bring smoked meats such as salami but not sliced before leaving home, also cheese, tomatoes, paprika/peppers, bring rice, pasta, lots of fruit etc.
Not everbody gets to bring a cooler, we never had them in the army, avoid leaving food out in the sunlight in plastic as it will go bad very quickly, keep in a linen bag, and hang in the shade when stoping.
Most dangerous is meat thats gone off, being re-heated, by frying or bakeing but it is possible to boil meat thats slightly “off” and then use curry powder sauce to add flavour.
