Another benefit, especially on a longer trip where diet can get crazy, if anyone has stomach issues, cereal is usual light and tolerable... Second, we tend to use the seal a meal and make a few crock pot dishes ahead of time and put them in the cooler. A bit salty, and they can last a couple of weeks bagged up in a refrigerator. I like to take a pork roast, 3-4 pounds and do it up. Slice it and break it into 10 - 12 meal packages. You can do the same with baked potato and you have the microwave to heat up the meals and some veggies. I also freeze and package mashed potato and a great 16 bean stew I make here. If I were in a camper with 110 for an extended period I might bring my veggie steamer. Hell, you can grab fresh veggies anywhere and throw them in anytime. Fresh veggies will help with the whole diet change thing and keep you in fiber. Lastly, of course, any kind of ground meat and a few buns, a couple cans of Bushes baked beans always make a great meal too. If you eat hotdogs, slice them up and throw them right in the beans ![]() For drinks we carry cases of cheap bottled water and a few small plastic containers of powdered gatoraide of lemonaide, etc.. and mix it in as needed, that way you always have lot's of fresh plain water which is real important in staying "regular" on longer outings... Sometimes however you just feel like a sugar drink with a bunch of ice ![]() You can also bring some instant potato, quick stuffing, or bisquick pancake mix to fill in some blanks too.. I purposely didn't mention Hotdogs (served traditionally) or Hamburgers, bacon and eggs, etc.. as those are probably a given. I am trying to focus on the stuff that will give you real value between the burgers and doggers ![]() Now, since you have a microwave too, you have an opportunity for "breakfast potatoes".. You make your bacon, and eggs, and cheese, or whatever slather it all over a fresh baked (skin on) brown russet, split in half and mashed out flat. Kind of like making a potato and egg pizza ![]() The idea is to try to eat as healthy and "normal" as possible as much as possible when you are out there. Being in a camper as opposed to a tent you have a much better opportunity to do this and everyone will feel better for it... HTH "Healthy and normal" As in: breakfast potatoes bacon instant potato quick stuffing ground meat hot dogs salty pork roast Blech! That's about as "Healthy and normal" as the Freak gets. |

Maybe a Canadian diet? Just came back from a couple weeks in BC. Seemed as if there was an over abundance of excess flesh on the locals. Seemed to be a lot of fatness. |
