The costco pre-made chicken Alfredo in their deli section is very easy to reheat for a delicious, easy, high calorie meal when staggering into camp late.

Staggering in late is right! I usually just want two beers then a bag to crawl in and die
Umm, ya. There are those nights for sure.

I like to take smoked chicken quarters.
Taste of India cous cous pack is a add water meal.
Instant potato pack and a cheese stick is a quick one too

Dutch oven venison stew with Dutch oven cheese biscuits. Hot and done at estimated first hunter’s return to camp, but stays hot for hours. Dutch oven peach cobbler. Whole spiced and splayed salmon wrapped in bacon, double wrapped in foil and cooked for 18 minutes buried in HOT coals. Foil wrapped potatoes buried in coals with all the fixins. Foil wrapped corn on the cob…
I keep a small fire going with a pot of water hot all the time, for hot drinks, instant stuff any time of day. Shuttle vehicles and taxi hunters to and from jumping off spots, do some scouting for them, shoot grouse, take a nap…
If hunting solo, canned stew etc. is edible cold and can be heated quickly in the can.

Coho Salmon with lemon herb sauce, Rosemary Crusted Rack of Lamb, Marinated Duck breast from Maple Leaf farms and Pork Loin with a dill sauce. All meals will be served with seasonal vegies and salad. The pork will also be served with my Great Grandmothers apple and onion chutney, same ingredients as she used from her covered wagon.

Hard to find freeze dried meals without carbs and junk
Keto lasagna is awesome, but I got squash spaghetti and other meals too
Won't last as long in storage due to fat, but I'll eat it within a year

Get somebody to keep camp and cook for you! We had an uncle/father who did that for us years ago and it sure makes it easier on the hunter. So I took on the role for my bow hunting sons and grandsons.

Absolutely great idea on getting other families into the mix! Way to keep with the OPs notion on inspiration.

Burgers are fast and always good. Spaghetti with some ground elk or deer is great and pretty fast as well.

Last year, I sous vided and froze the cooked steaks, fish, and chicken for quick heat-ups on the grill, added wild mushrooms and dinner would be ready with no mess in about 5 minutes each night. I will always do that from now on. It's super-easy.
That is a dang good idea!

I’m kind of a snob when cooking in camp, here are a few of my favorites.Whoa man, seasonal veggies and a fine chutney, all meals served with a salad? You're scaring me

Ground burger, 16z of sour cream, 1 can of cream of chic.or mushroom soup (don't add water), 1 box of noodles.
brown burger, add the other 2, spice to taste and add to cooked noodles.

Early season means late nights every dang night so usually I just pack my stove and a freeze dried and eat on the mountain. Saves some precious sleep time. There's always some grub in the cooler at camp though. Pre-made breakfast burrito filling is for sure a staple. Toss it in a hot pan of butter to heat it up and get a little crisp on the edges, roll it up and slam it down. The Johnsonville jalapeño cheddar dogs are also mandatory (chili optional).I'm with you on the Johnsonvilles. Always a couple packs in our cooler every year

PBJ wrapoh man how could I have forgotten the Idahoan mashed taters! I like to add a good blob of butter and cream cheese, and a splash of milk to mine for super mashed potatoes.

All a guy needs is a few loads of bread and a jar of peanut butter. Muzzleloader season is too short to cook

Lots of eggs and cheese and bone marrow. Great energy that lasts.
You have a recipe for that one? That looks and sounds quite intriguing.
I freeze a weeks worth of dinners usually. Beef stew, spaghetti sauce with sausage etc. I also pre-cook chicken biring cream of mushroom soup and biscuits and make a chicken and biscuit thing in the dutch oven on the stove.
Breakfast is mostly normal eggs and sausage stuff. I do like to par boil potatoes and throw them in a zippy. Easy home fries or mashed potatoes.
Pack sandwiches and lot's of nuts for lunch.
I don't eat as much as I used to. I end up bringing food home.
The most important thing is to bring fruits for lunch and salad stuff and veggies for dinner. Those vitamins come in handy when you have been sweating all day. Salt/ salty foods are also helpful as I am a big sweater and I tend to cramp. My first year hunting elk in the Olympics my hamstring actually went into a spasm. We were 6 miles behind a locked gate. It was not a great feeling. I rallied and made it back fine but I'd rather not do that again.

You cook bone marrow ahead of time. You can buy marrow bones from a butcher or at Winco by the frozen liver and ducks. Once it's thawed, soak it overnight in salt water to remove the blood. Roast it at 450F for 15 minutes. Then use a kitchen knife to remove from the bones. It's almost all fat, so you can keep it refrigerated for a couple of weeks and use as needed on eggs, toast. Great on toast instead of butter.
Excellent. I buy beef locally by the 1/3 or 1/2. It comes with soup bones. It's not certified organic but it's pretty much grass fed organic without the certification. I get bones there. I will have to look into what bones to use. I am assuming beef bones. Thanks for the new culinary idea. You have given me some research to do.

Putting marrow on a steak kicks butt.
Post by: salmosalar on July 09, 2022, 01:35:08 PM
Elk and bison marrow is good. I know some people use pork marrow but I've never tried it. It's supposed to be pretty good - I would think that marrow is marrow; all fat. I think lamb bones are too small.
Putting marrow on a steak kicks butt.
We presently make soup or broth out of nearly all of our bones. It has gone to a good friend in the form of broth that we deliver. She has stage 4 cancer. I have hoped that we were helping in some way. Reading up on marrow, it seems we may have been. I have been eating marrow for a while but only through soup. I will certainly try to eat it this way now.
You made me do some research. It appears as though the risks or benefits of marrow have not been studied all that much. What little can be gleaned seems to be quite positive. I am excited to try to cook some up. I should have plenty of bones in the freezer.
Thanks for the idea.
Post by: pianoman9701 on July 09, 2022, 02:17:11 PM
When you use those bones, cut them in lengths about 3-4" to make it easier to get the marrow out. Don't forget to soak them in salt water for at least 12 hours in the fridge.

Post by: Dark2Dark on July 09, 2022, 07:44:11 PM
It really allows for a lot of pretty gourmet and delicious options. And you can prep them all ahead of time so that it doesn’t take a lot of energy when you get back to camp!
We can fit over a weeks worth of meals in a yeti style cooler no problem. They just keep themselves frozen in there.
Post by: bowguy on August 13, 2022, 07:35:44 PM
Elk or deer burger
Salmon and mashed potatoes
Carne asada and rice
Chicken tacos
Lasagna (premade)
Goulash (premade)
Hotdogs/brats
Anything quick being back to camp so late at night. Sometimes wl cook a few meals ata time so they are ready to just that. Breakfast is cereal, muffins, eggs, pancakes
