Camp Cooking Tips

1. Pack the food you plan to bring in the proportions in which they will be cooked or served. That way, you won't have to be bothered by measuring the right amount of this and that ingredient once you're in camp.

2. Make sure to place the items in your cooler in individual watertight bags and containers.

3. Avoid attracting animals to your camp by keeping properly storing your food, preferably above ground level.

4. Make camp cooking a group activity! If you're camping with your friends or family, make sure that you get everyone to participate in the preparation of meals. It's a great way to bond and it makes life easier for the assigned "chef" as well.

5. Find a use for all leftover ingredients. For instance, on your last day of camp, use the leftover meats and other ingredients to make a grand omelet for breakfast.

6. Bring a lot of ziplock bags. They come in handy when you need to store all kinds of food.

7. When cooking on a pot, make sure to always put the lid on, as it will allow the food to cook faster and it will also protect your food from insects.

Remember that when cooking while camping, you can get simple recipes that are easy to prepare but do not sacrifice taste and flavor. All it takes is a little enthusiasm and a great love for the outdoors.
