Travel meals?

[Bowguy]

Best thing imo if you have access to an outlet somewhere is bring a microwave and heat your food.
I started doing it last year. Its great. Finish hunting, you're  hungry, eat. Wanna clean up n sleep, than eat. All disposable dishes, cups. It's fantastic convenient, saves time. I brought barbecue chicken and cheeseburgers. Mac n cheese w bacon. Pancakes, sausages, etc fantastic way to go. Screw cooking or eating cold sandwiches

First and foremost, COFFEE.
mostly sandwiches, fruit, and nuts in the field......, brats, burgers, chicken, canned venison, potato's and 0nions...
...and if i run out, i can survive on coffee for days.

Burger King Double Cheeseburgers, once in awhile, I splurge

I carry a Charbroil Expert gas grill and a small 17" Blackstone.

The Blackstone doesn't get used. I live by the little grill on my tailgate or table while fishing with a friend.

I can cook any meat, but we are heavily discriminate against any meat that doesn't start with BEE.

Veggies are perishable so I stick to potatoes and splurge on asparagus occasionally.

A steak for lunch and a steak and baked potato for dinner and I am set.

No time for breakfast, except a granola bar or other sugar hand held, to get me jump-started.

Great subject. I've always ate at restaurants or gas station food. But I don't camp.

This year, I'm camping. God help me lol. My plan is simple. Sandwiches, chips, nuts, chips, etc. the only exception will be canned deer meat and I'll be making deer salad sandwiches. That I'm looking forward to

Blackstones are wayyyyyyy too much trouble for me.  I prefer a small grill.  If you're out of the truck, you have room for a coffee pot, get an old one of those and a dutch oven.  Bury the dutch oven in the ground (with coals) and let it all cook while you're hunting.  The old coffee pot can be used over a fire.  The dutch oven is basically the older style crockpot. 

Do you have a dehydrator at home?  Dehydrate your meals, put them in sealed baggies.  Just boil the baggies when you're ready to eat. 

Next up, MRE's, a bunch of us have had to live off those from the government.  They work.

I normally hunt too hard to worry about cooking and cleaning up the aftermath. My sleep is more important to me. Sandwiches, protein bars, canned soup (i.e. Campbell's chunky), canned chili, noodle cups, apples. Quick, easy, minimal clean up. I also probably stop for hot gas station food more than most others in this thread.

^^^^What he said.

Good topic made me think what do I eat. Not much, hate dishes so no cooking. And half my trips I do have my truck and pop up camper, that has a gas stove in it. I just don't choose to use it. So when I do want a hot meal I take a can of beef stew and cook it in its can on the stove. But most of the time hunting and camping out of my car it's quick food. I have venison summer sausage along  I cut into slices. Then that slice I cut into four pieces,along with a slice of cheese I do the same. And then I buy the Hi ho crackers in the small serving packs. One pack few slices and my meal is done. Along with oranges and trail mix during day. Eat sleep and hunt, I also live off the extra weight fat reserve I have built up all year. Turkey time is my diet also always dripping ten pounds or so.

Gorp and dehydrated meals

Being a southwestern boy and living within spittin' distance of the "Chile Capital of the World" (Hatch, NM), burritos, tacos, and chili are a staple around these parts. If I am hunting by myself, I usually just make up a bunch of red and green chile burritos. Add in a few snacks and assorted beverages and I am good for a few days.

When hunting with buddies for several days, we use a two-burner propane cook-top and a "disco" (a converted farming disk) for about all of our cooking. Again, most meals involve burritos/tacos in some form...easy and quick to prepare for several guys in a hunting camp. Bottom line is if you don't have red or green chile in some form in your meals, you just ain't eatin' right!

I truck camp solo for nearly 40 years now. I love the simplicity and freedoms it creates.

My diet varies by location. If a local town has a descent restaurant I eat a big cooked meal mid day. Most states I hunt do not offer hunting past noon or 1pm.

I always have bottled water, propel,and Gatorade in the truck for drinks. I carry coffee and a French press made by Stanley thermos.

For food i have a single burner propane stove and pot to heat up or cook on. Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie or tasty cakes to get going in morning. I carry breakfast bars, trail mix and an apple while hunting. Ramen, PB and jelly, fruit, and lunch meat in cooler. I like wraps instead of bread for sandwiches, easier to store.

I eat a lot and often but have a good metabolism. I find I hunt and sleep much better when I'm not starving myself to death while hunting.

I feel like everything I do has already been mentioned. I'll eat sandwiches and wraps. I vary the type of fruit through out the season. A blackstone opens up various options. With some oil and paper towels the clean up is super easy in my opinion.

I want feedback on how everyone makes their coffee when sleeping out of the truck. I've had to go with iced coffee up to this point. I tried a cheap coffee maker but it was too much energy pull for the outlet in my truck. I looked into a jet boil but didn't wanna pay the money at the time.

I just boiled water on the coleman stove and made instant coffee .. I think people forget about instant coffee and i'm sure the young generation didn't know they even made it ... LOL ...

this! I use a JetBoil to have boiling water in less than 2 minutes. Then dump in instant coffee packs.
