Title: Huntin' Camp Grubbins-Show your cookin skills.
Post by: backwoods_boy on September 29, 2011, 10:50:26 AM: Anyone else document the food you cook in the great outdoors.
Lets see those photos of the gourmet meals you have cooked in the woods.
Here is a few of mine to start.
Crap I am getting excited for hunting camp.

Post by: pianoman9701 on September 29, 2011, 11:00:18 AM: Looks like great food to me.

I don't have much for pictures, but our favorite saying is that it's not elk camp without the truffle oil! We usually have boletes and chanterelles (when it's not dry like this year was), and I'm big with sauces. I make them ahead of time and put them in foodsaver bags to heat up in boiling water and serve over fettuccine or raviolis. We eat well in camp!

Thanks,

Post by: TheHunt on September 30, 2011, 03:42:24 PM: Was at Bellevue for the last four days and we ate at John Howie Steak house. First off, it was a great steak. Second they had chanterelles so I had them cook some up in butter then put it on my steak. Third, they had lobster mashed potatoes. Now if I had ths at camp I am not sure I would be hunting much.

Post by: wastickslinger on October 03, 2011, 11:28:54 AM: How do you guys find time to eat like that? My camp meal pictures would be boring. Headlamp lit mountain house dinner about 2 hours after dark every day. Maybe throw in cup of noodles to break the cycle. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Huntin' Camp Grubbins-Show your cookin skills.
Post by: TheHunt on October 03, 2011, 11:49:09 AM: Same here... My only good food to match the posts were Howie's. My rule is you can cook anything as long as it uses one pot. Pretty boring and usually it is soup or something like that.

Do you eat the big dinners early afternoon or late. Seems like dinner for me always falls at the time I want to be hunting so I eat super late and am out of energy to cook by then.

Post by: Elkrunner on October 04, 2011, 10:45:46 AM: Here it is guys...I don't have pics but you all should try this. I make it every year and all the guys die for ti.

ELK CAMP BEANS
1/2 lb of gound beef
10 slices of pepper bacon
1/4 cup of chopped onion
***cook these items and drain***

1 can of kidney beans(drained)
1 can of white lima beans(drained) - if you can't find these, substitute w/ cannelini beans
1 16 ounce can of B&M baked beans
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of sugar
1/4 cup catsup
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup of BBQ sauce
2 TSP "grey poupon" mustard
2 TSP molasses

Combine all ingredients and place in a large covered dish. Cook at 350 degrees for a hour. I usually pre cook them and warm them up if we tent camp. Usually my dad has a oven in trailer.

Try this out and you will be the most popular guy in camp.

Post by: Hyde on October 13, 2011, 10:01:16 PM: In Oregon, our elk season was only 5 days. Of my 4 person group that hunted together for years, we would all be responsible for one dinner each. We would head to town one night (for a real shower & burgers afterwards). Breakfast was always Frosted Mini Wheats (we call them presto logs). Not quite sure when that started, but it was customary for years. Lunch was whatever you could stuff into your pack, usually kippered snacks and mini Milky Ways for me. Another rule we had was to all bring about 5 frying pans each, so we didn't need to do any dish washing. We would just pile them up and then clean them when we got home. A huge Costco box of plastic silverware, some paper bowls, and plastic cups, and we were set. We didn't out much effort into cooking, it was usually easy, hot and there was lots of it. I envy those of you who take the time to really cook. Looks like it would be a really enjoyable part of the experience.
