what can i make that's simple, cheap and good?


besides hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.

do you have access to a portable stove?

get one of these:

they're around $20.

then the possiblity is endless.

yeah i have one. but i was looking for less vague ideas.

Cooking steak over the fire is greatt.

You have to make a keystone area in your fire pit (just a place to set the grill basically) and put hot coals from the fire under it and it's just like a BBQ.

You can also do corn by just setting it in the embers with the husks still on. Potatoes in tin foil. There's lots of veggies you could do.

^ and it taste a hell of a lot better than gas.

You need to specify what kind of camping. Car camping without consern for weight, I like to make this:

Potatoes
Onion
Butter
Salt/Pepper/You can get fancy , but you're camping so don't.

Cut up your onion and potato, then get a sheet of tinfoil big enough to make a pouch for it. With the shiny side up, coat the fucker in butter, then put in your shit with another lb (exaggeration) of butter. Next do a russian doll type act with 16 more layers of tinfoil(I think I used 12 last time).

Put the fucker in or around the fire, and play with it for 30-45 minutes, or until it starts to get flimsy.

Also, if you have a BBQ taking the grill off that is good for putting over some coals for steaks and the likes.

But the number one rule is you really don't want to cook that often because cleaning up is a bitch unless you're in a camper/trailer.

Oh, and finally, you can't go wrong with beer

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Beer-Spuds/Detail.aspx are meant to be very good.

pasta, couscous (very quick to cook), rice are all easy ways of getting carbohydrates in, and are relatively light too if you're hiking.

i will try that fucker out. lol. and don't worry there will be plenty of beer. :]



btw, im just going to a campsite. theres a firepit on the campsite with a built in grill.

1)Bacon
2)Tang
3) Drugs


That is all you need. Made for some of the best (school) camping trips I've been on so far.

I meant putting the beer in food

And I never cook directly on their grill...
