Question by i’m not saying it was your fault.: What is the best food to bring on a camping trip?
I am going on a camping trip this weekend with school. We have been told that we want to consume rice/pasta/potatoes for our evening meal. It wants to be cooked on a tranja cooker, not be too salty, doesn’t necessary have to have to be refrigerated, fast and effortless and i’d rather cook it at residence and heat it there.

Rice or Pasta are much easier and quicker to cook than potatoes, so I’d go for them, pre-cooked chicken keeps finest, and get a tin of tomatoes or beans and to save hassle, get one with a ring pull top so you don’t need to have to worry about tin openers.

Question by Dayward D: How lengthy will a 250g camping gas canister final me?
I’m going camping for 3 days and was questioning how several canisters I have to have to bring. I only want to bring the minimum as I have to carry everything on my back. I’m most likely only going to cook one particular meal a day and boil a single lot of water for tea a day. Will one particular canister be adequate ? The stove I’m using is an old camping gaz stove which employs the blue butane/propane cansiters.

Pasta is really easy, and just bring a stir in sauce or something, and a bit of cheese. Rice takes longer, and i agree about potatoes. Far too long.
Going camping doesn’t have to mean lots of cooking in precarious conditions. In fact, it’s perfectly possible to go camping for days and heat up nothing but a cup of morning coffee. No-cook camping food is ideal for short trips, large families that would require lots of preparation, and people who would rather spend their time exploring rather than preparing meals over a fire.
One of the best ways to avoid cooking during a camping trip is to have lots of prepackaged, ready-to-eat food such as fruits, trail mix, and energy bars. Dried fruit is an even better choice than fresh fruit if you plan to stay out for a long period of time.
One of the best ways to avoid cooking during a camping trip is to do it at home, the day before you actually leave. Sandwiches, pies and mixed salads are all great foods for a camping trip, especially in cool weather, when the food will stay in good condition even if not refrigerated.
Lots of meals can be prepared on the spot if you just bring along the right ingredients. A good example is burritos or wraps. Just pack corn or flour tortillas, some mayo or ketchup (small, individual packs are best, like the ones you can find in restaurants) and a few cans of corn or beans. If you have a cooler, bring some cheese. Then you can put all ingredients together, roll them up into a wrap and have instant burritos. You can warm them up over a fire if you want, but they’re also great just as they are.
If you want to avoid cooking but would still like to have some “regular” food, look in camping and outdoor shops for dried-freeze foods. The variety available is amazing: from ice cream to pasta with tomato sauce to chicken and beef, all of them packed into metallic bags that only require adding some hot water (or sometimes nothing at all) in order to be ready.
If your camping trip includes a car, then consider bringing canned food along (this is not such a good idea if you’re backpacking or if you have to take the train to get to your destination). Canned foods are great because they stay fresh and allow you to try a variety of flavors: corn, beans, peas, and even spinach. For extra flavor, choose canned foods that already contain salsa or sauces, so you don’t have to worry about bringing that separately.
Regardless of which foods you decide to try, remember that the best no-cook camping foods are portable, non-perishable, yet still delicious.
I still use my Gaz stove – old but good, fast boil time. And I’ve never had trouble with it in the winter either.
Your 250g Gaz canister will be plenty for three days. You could do both meals and a cup of tea with no trouble.
If you’re not going solo you might check with your buddies and see what you can share to eliminate weight for all of you.
For three days – for 1 or 2 people , one canister should be enough for what you have planned. I have found I am able to cook about eight single person meals – soup, boiling water for coffee or tea, frying bacon and eggs – as long as it does not take too long to cook – eight meals per canister is about right.
