Camping food - any ideas for my trip please?
Hi
We are going on a camping trip in may - have you any ideas for evening meals?
We are going for 5 nights and stopping at a different campsite each night (driving - so it doesn't need to be light) and staying in small tent
We have an electric cool box in the back of the van so we can keep stuff fresh.
We have a 1 ring gas stove
Thanks
before having kids I would take bacon, pot noodles, cup a soups, loaf of bread and what ever fish I caught for dinner.
Now I take Pasta with tins of soup to use as a quick and easy cook sauce with smoked sausages and veg to chop up and put through it, since they are ok out of the fridge for a few days.
Since you have a cool box in the car you can take fresh meat, take with you plenty of water and make stews or casseroles a few nights and take packets of mash potatoes to save some trouble.
Quite a lot of campsites offer good facilities including a restaurant or cafe, so you might want to try a couple of nights out rather than cooking for yourself.
if you take plenty of veg and meat take a bag of lentils and make a pot of soup for yourselves. I think as long as you have pasta, veg and meat you can do a variety of things, from pasta dishes to soups and stews. If you are getting fishing in as well then that can always cover a few other meals.
Hope you have lots of fun, we all go every year and love it.

Using a Power Inverter while Camping â Backup Energy
While enjoying the splendors of the great outdoors, a family may miss some of the creature comforts of home, or have need for electrical power of some sort. This could be for the benefit of utilizing a light source, camping stove, or other appliance that helps provide some convenience when out there in the dark woods. This is where using a power inverter can be a big help. This type of AC AIMS inverter draws power out of a battery that it is hooked up to, and then following this converts the energy into AC power which is available to hook up to any sort of portable electronic device. Hair dryers, halogen lamps, or other power sources may be needed to make the most of camping. There is no need to forget about convenience when out in the woods.
For large-scale electric items that may be needed out when camping, the most compatible power source is an AIMS 800 watt power inverter. With such a high level of energy capabilities, this ensures that your family will not be caught off guard for any reason. These small devices are completely portable, despite their intense power capabilities. They come in a wide variety of sizes and brands, suiting all power needs that may arise. The price differences are really not that great between the smaller brands and the larger, more powerful types.
Planning for a camping trip can also mean planning for the unexpected. While it is nice to rough it and be spontaneous, a little common sense can go a long way. This means bringing along the power inverter as a backup, “just in case†measure of safety that will provide feelings of security for everyone involved. The AC AIMS inverter draws its power and strength from a simple 12 volt battery that can be charged and recharged, allowing for unlimited energy capabilities.
The power inverter, performing its most simple function of transforming DC energy into AC output, comes in very handy in times of need, be they on vacation or during a disaster. Camping trips can combine a little bit of the disaster with the vacation, making this an ideal time to come prepared. With all shapes, sizes, and brands available on the market, there is no excuse not to provide a little bit of peace of mind when out in the wilderness. This simple, portable tool can make life run much more smoothly. When stuck in the woods and in dire need of a light, you will thank yourself later for making this decision.
