I always have aspirations to cook some good camp meals on my trips, but it never fails I'm always weighing out that extra hour of sleep or a big meal. Sleep wins every time.  For me its minimal meals until a bird is killed, whether it be mine or my buddy's, then its either a celebratory real cooked meal or a trip into town to a local restaurant that serves the local favorite whatever that may be. We've had some interesting meals in some amazing places because we chase this wonderful bird. LOL some trips we eat really good some not so much.

Until then its peanut butter, jelly, honey and banana on a tortilla or ham and turkey on a tortilla. At night if it's not one of those it will be a quick can of ravioli, tamales or beef soup(something that takes about 5min to cook and clean up after.

Celebratory meals if we cook at camp can range from beef steak, elk steak, fresh turkey, burgers, fajita meat, eggs, bacon etc. and whatever sides we have in our food box or find in the woods.  Noodles, potatoes, onions, preppers, Wild garlic and morel mushrooms pair so good with most anything.

I quit using ice a few years ago after going up in the northeast and paying $7-10 for a small bag, now I run two electric coolers, one I use to freeze all my meat and the other for water and groceries. Keeps everything dry and cold with no mess. If needed I can put a bag of ice in one, but I only do that for drinks.   

There never seems to be enough time in the day to do all you want to do, with all the self-induced added pressures of maximizing your vacation time away from work and getting to the next state as fast as possible the is a lot lost from the hunt.  I am very guilty of it and can't wait to be finished with this mess. Then the fun of getting a small group of friends together and just go make a camp somewhere and enjoy it. Then maybe some of those camp meals will be shared among friends and a campfire.

Re: coffee

Living out of the truck,  I generally opt for a Coleman stove and old-style percolator.  New stoves are expensive, but I've been picking up ones from garage sales for years.  My best was a 2-burner I picked from somebody's trash-- brand new in the box.


Add a nested cookware set and it's Bob-yur-Uncle.

Tried a couple different brands but none fit as tight as they should. Have had 4 of em fall off in the woods so gave up trying to use them. I found another fellas red dot cover last season while crossing a beaver dam that I thought was mine at first so guess i'm not the only one that can't keep one.
