Backcountry food pics
« on: March 25, 2012, 08:14:02 AM »
  On a recent backpacking trip into the wilderness we ate trout twice a day, steamed in foil over the campfire, didnt have any dishes to clean and didnt require a stove or any fancy equipment, lets see some other ideas of wilderness backcountry no frills food, or ideas.

This does require a stove, but it's super simple to prepare. But one of our staple meals when my wife and I backpack is chicken tacos and in the case last weekend we turned them in to quesadillas. Just by the Knorr brand spanish rice and the chicken that comes precooked in a bag, boil the rice and add the chicken. Mighty tasty after a hard days hiking and much better than an MRE type meal.

For a picture you might have to wait til after July.  We are going to the Pasayten via horseback and will try out a new cooking method but it won't be on foil.  I can't find a picture of a meal from the last trip it must have been from the trip before when I didn't have digital.

No wind break for the stove? No lid on the pot to hold in more heat? The cold rock cools the stove fuel so you get less BTU. Did all the boys carry a mess kit each? All you need in a group is one cook pot. One eating plate each. -Just things to think of.

I'll try to remember to snap some photos of backcountry food next month.

You know... It's funny.  (yes I was only givin Danderson crap because I know he knows better)...  Most kids that age don't even cook on the stove at home, so waiting for the stew or soup to bubble a bit in the field is almost priceless, as they certainly don't want to burn it, but they're probably quite hungry for a warm meal after hiking.

First hunting hike I took a nephew on, I asked his dad/he if he had a little stove in his fanny pack. Nope...  OK, We'll just use mine. Before noon we'd put on 7 miles or so and every time I caught him reaching in his fanny for something to nibble on, I said we'd stop for lunch soon. He said he doesn't eat lunch.  As we'd settled under the limbs of a big Pine overlooking a nice bowl,  I cleared a nice spot of needles to the dirt in a clean non-flamable perimeter and whipped out my little GAZ stove and heated up some water for Cup O Noodles. He didn't have any soup with him. ....  I'd brought extra. As I handed him some soup he grinned.. 'How'd you know I was hungry'?  The kid was starving! (He did get a deer that day.) That was some ten years ago, he's married with a son now, and to this day he doesn't go in the woods without his JetBoil kit.

  That photo was taken after a long day of hiking into a high lake into the wilderness, two of these are my boys with  the rest of there  boy scout troop, 11 miles in one day into the wilderness, not many adults could make that trip, but what I like most about this photo is the realization on there faces that,  what ever they just made was there  dinner, and next time they would remember to be a little more prepaired.

Danderson, good job getting those kids out into the wild! Sounds like a fun trip!

Kentrek, those planked brookies are looking pretty good! What spice you using on them? I always keep some lemon/herb on me for trips like that one...

They didn't eat the food off the rock but they did managed to eat just about everything else, Its amazing how much better food tastes when your out hiking, we lucked out because the Blue Huckleberry's were ripe so nowone  starved.

We take the baked potatoe and stabed it then wrapped in foil, line the fire pit. About an hour or so, they would go real good with that trout.    :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

I have been doing the freeze dried food when I'm hiking in. I also love fresh trout from high alpine lakes a little pepper and salt and they are ready
