It is now officially spring and that
means camping season is beginning where I live in southern Utah. The
desert canyons, national parks, lakes and forests are calling. I've
vowed to make this one on my best summers ever for adventure.
I car camp, backpack, boat camp and
this year I hope to do a little horse packing into high mountain
fishing lakes. That is a wide variety of activities, with several
things in common. One essential is food, of course. How do you eat
well at camp without sacrificing too much time to cooking chores? How
do you carry food and still have room for gear and comfort items?
On recent trips I've turned to
freeze-dried meals in pouches. I particularly like the Mountain
House meals. They actually taste good. They are extremely light
weight and take little room, and they are very east to prepare. Just
heat water, dump it into the pouch, wait a few minutes and enjoy. I
eat it right out of the pouch so there are no dirty dishes.
I particularly like the Mountain
House rice and chicken meal. The pouch says it serves 3. When I'm
camping I'm always extra hungry but it is a ton of food. Usually
plenty for two people.
I also like to Mountain
House biscuits and gravy. That pouch serves 2. It is a hearty
meal.
My friends at ParacordGalaxy.com
have recently expanded their business to offer a complete line of
Mountain
House meals. They have the best selection and best prices of any
site I've checked. I like doing business with them because they are
good people.
The video review below by Mudd Creek shows just how easy it is to prepare these meals. He focuses on the lasagna with meat sauce, which is also one of my favorites.
