So I what is the best meal you have ever eaten in camp? I'm starting this because I just had garlic roasted potatoes, lamb chops, and asparagus. Got to thinking "Folk back at work think I'm roughing it, wonder what they had for diner" lol. Anyway let find out what you all are realy having in your camps
-
A giant steak that was probably 2 inches thick cooked over super hot campfire coals. :drool:
-
A buddy and I once gorged on 8 late hatch ruffed grouse fried in butter with onions over a campfire. They were so tender and juicy, he kept turning on his flashlight because he couldn't believe they were cooked through. All 16 little half breasts fit in one 10" skillet :)
-
hooked up a fry daddy to a jenny, and deep fried fresh halibut in beer batter,,,,,that fresh grouse sounds good :drool:
-
Every year when we hunt Mt or Id we race over, throw the wall tent up, throw on the hunting clothes and hurry into the woods. That night we throw weiners in the frying pan on the stove and crack a bottle of the hard stuff. (whole milk.....Shhhhh, wives might hear :chuckle:) I look forward to that meal above all others. And it's delicious!
-
bacon rapped back strap, and they are in the freezer right now from last years deer waiting to be cooked :drool:
-
Fresh elk tenderloin from the morning's harvest! :tup:
-
I like to do Rosemary Crusted Rack of Lamb with a rice medley grilled veggies and a good bottle of Cab followed by a good cigar. Then a major wash up to get rid of the smells. You gotta have good grub when hunting. :twocents:
-
MRE "chicken with salsa" I heat up the main meal the jalepano cheese and the Spanish style rice. Then I make a "bowl" out of the mre bag and mix all of it together. Then I crush up the vegetable crackers over the top and eat it. Then i eat the peanut buttwr m and ms and the cookies for desert. Doesn't get better than that.
-
Grilled T-bones, fire baked potatoes, green salad, Pendleton whiskey and Dutch oven Peach cobbler for dessert.

this is not the best but it is one of my favorites....beans and weenies...seriously this little kid meal is like the best ever but use good sausages and baked beans ...... oherwise I am going to wadu's camp for rack of lamb yummmmmy that sounds good
-
Trout right from the stream, wrapped in foil and tossed into a hot bed of coals. It is a nice change of pace from the norm of Mountain House and gorp.
-
Battered and fried walleye.
-
Battered and fried walleye.
:yeah: And finish it off with some Ron Zacappa 23 year old rum.
-
Halibut baked over the fire smeared with mayo, lemon pepper and onions. It was to die for! The next night was deep fried Alaskan prawns, crab legs and moose meat over the fire. Having a cousin who is a commercial fisherman in Alaska in you camp sure has it's benefits.
-
Elk backstraps, cooked over the coals, a side of bacon, dutch oven biscuits, and Bulleit Bourbon and Coke.

I second that one! Meals Rarely Edible are on my list of the worst food I've ever had in camp. Those young grouse breasts sure sound like they would have made my list though. Dang I might have to make myself a midnight snack that made me so hungry.
-
'Ash deer or elk'. Take thin cut steaks soaked in olive oil and garlic, salt and pepper, put them on a stick like a hot dog and cook over an open fire.Got the name from lessons learned from dropping them into the ashes the first few times 'til we figured out how to keep them on the stick. Simple and delicious!
-
No wonderer you guys can hardly wait to get into the woods and my McDonald leftover bugers don;t sound so good any anymore.
-
Elk bacon rapped back strap,
:yeah:
Used to take a cryovack (SP?) of frozen ribeye (Used as ice for the cooler) Once it starts to un-thaw just cut it thick or thin to your liking. Would tie a rope up high over the fire, wire the grate from the rope so it hangs over the fire. sit on a log and swing the steak back and fro over the fire MMMM.....mmmm with baker potatoes in tin foil in the coals.
-
-Everything mentioned sounds about asgood as it gets!! Exept for dessert we have a homemade Apple pie with chedder cheese on top!! oh ya!! haha
-
SPAM on a stick blackened over the fire is pretty damn good too. Also, fresh picked blackberry dutch oven cobler. Mmmmmmm............
-
Where in the hell are all of you hunting at? Aren't hunting camps supposed to have a smashed loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter and a crushed bag of chips.
-
When I am coming in from a day of elk hunting... Anything warm would do
-
Ill go with the tender loins, deer or elk, fried fast in a cast iron skillet with potatoes, onions, and peppers.....depending on time of day, crack a few eggs over it, too. Again, depending on the time of day, follow with liberal amounts of ice cold beer :chuckle:

Well yesterday, after being in the high country after muleys, I was excited to have a chicken breast MRE, with macaroni, jalapeno cheese, m&m's, poundcake, crackers, and jalapeno ketchup. Was on the bottom end of favorable camp meals, but I was starving. Also, didn't feel good the rest of the day, today was ok though. But best meal ever, was about a pound of oreos, and about 30 oz of 2% milk, after my dad, me and hunting partner packed his elk and our camp out 8 miles, trying to beat a snow storm, and getting back to the truck at 5am.... 3 times I think I have cheated death, that was the 2nd time...
-
I brought about 3 gallons of squid I'd caught at work in Seattle to our camp in Idaho one year. I set up an assembly line for cleaning, cutting, battering and spices with me at the end frying them over the campfire. I tried to get a pile of done pieces made so we could all enjoy them, but they were gone as quick as I could get them out of the pan. Everyone still laughs about how quick those squid went and how everybody only knows one step in the squid cleaning process. BeakMan, QuillMan, and SkinMan still have their names.

Some time ago up near Buck meadows I brought my Coleman stove and oven and we had the following dinner at the A frame: Pan fried pork chops, potatoes and onion seasoned well, shucked corn, peas and then thick slices of corn bread. I was cooking and barely got any of it but it was fun. For breakfast I made rye bread fried bacon and cheese (sharp cheddar cheese) sandwiches that carry well and taste great hot or cold. Who says you have to eat poorly in the woods?
-
Elk heart ,liver and a cold beer. Heaven.
-

Paradise Pancake
CAUTION: don't eat this before a big hike!!
1 pancake approx 10 inch diameter
Top with peanut butter, two eggs however you desire (over easy is perferred), 3-10 pieces of bacon depending on your apetite :yike:, butter and syrup. Make sure you have a glass of milk handy to wash it all down.
Love this meal in camp.

Every year I take the shanks from my elk and cook-um in the crock pot till there falling apart, them dehidrate the meat so it doesnt require refrigration, take the dryed meat, along with dryed vegies, add water, beef gravy, dryed onion, bring to boil, mix up and add bisquick to top, cover with lid, turn off heat, let stand covered for 15 minutes, some of the best elk dumplings ever!
-
Has anyone mentioned my personal favorite?
the one that is already cooked and ready to go when I get back into camp.

I was truely spoiled on this last camp trip, we had a ton of deer and bear meat from last year, one nite we had jalepeno stuffed bacon wrapped back strap, and a couple of nites before we did a deer roast in a dirt oven after letting it thaw overnite soaking in italian dressing. The last nite we had lemon pepper trout again baked in the dirt oven. No way i could pic one for best.
-
I pre made a crock pot if "Green Chile Colorado ELK" chucked full of Elk Steak and it was nothing short of spectacular. Little Sour cream dolup and some tortilla strips....MMMM MMMM Goood!
-
To start spot prawns campfire bakers, elk back strap garden fresh green beans numb!
-
Every year we have a grouse or turkey fettucine waiting for us when we get back to camp with fresh mushrooms. Always nice when it is ready for you when you get home after a day of chasing critters.

Yes, whole homogenized milk has to be the best, and as with you, it is only found at camp during hunting season.

Rib Eye steak after a long day of pheasant hunting... :IBCOOL:

Best meal has been so far the Pot Roast my wife cooked in the dutch oven at elk camp. 3 years ago the first time and I still thank her everytime I think about it.

Maybe not the best, but definitely the most memorable was grouse, dorito's and Coors Light. No joke, the grouse was amazing to me. Never had it before.
-
Bud. And more Bud.

Fresh Heart steaks from the animal to the grill :drool: :drool: :drool:
-

-
Battered and fried walleye.
There are walleye in Wa?? I'm from Pa and would love to get into some of those guys!
It's not a 2" steak, rack or lamb, or a fish fry but a hot can of chilli really knocks the cold outa ya! Oh yeah and a cup of joe!
-
Best meal for us during the archery season was the beef brisket I smoked on my Traeger before leaving for the left. Served it with some JW BBQ and Hotlinks. The guys tore it up. They were pigs :chuckle: . I was asked to do it again next year.
-
We now prepare all of our dinners and freeze them before going hunting because we just get back to camp so late that we normally do not finish dinner till 10PM or so. So they are all good now :)
Although this thread is about you best meal ever...
Many years ago I drove a truck and delivered dry ice to many customers. I think I was 19 at the time (I'm now 51). One of my customers was a meat company who sold meat door to door. The guy I dealt with sold me some NY steaks after telling him we were going hunting. He always told me how good their steaks were..
One night after a real long day in the woods, we cooked up those steaks with potato's and onions and to this day we still talk about that meal as the best we ever had.....
OK, now I'm hungy! :drool:

ANY MOUNTAIN HOUSE MEAL AFTER A LONG DAY OF HUNTING!

ANY MOUNTAIN HOUSE MEAL AFTER A LONG DAY OF HUNTING!
Exactly! When big game hunting I normally don't have a comfy base camp- I usually hunt with camp on my back, so at the end of the day whatever Mountain House that I have is just about the best thing ever!
