Modern deer is here, elk next and I have once again gathered everything but food to eat in the woods. Now I have to scramble to put together food quick that is light on packaging, filling & at least semi-nutritious, and doesn't need refrigeration, and is fairly cheap. I have some Mountain House stuff, but looking for other ideas before I set off in a couple hours. Sandwiches and dried soups/stews just get annoying after a while. Any ideas? Recipes? I figure I'm not the only one with this problem. |
I like the old fashioned deer much better. The modern ones spend all thier time playing video games and never come out into the woods where we have a fair shot at them...  As to your question, I always just eat back at hunting camp. What every you like just bring it. All the convieniences of modern day camping. |

When I hunt I'm OUT there.... I usually pack extremely light, carrying only a fanny pack. I take some jerky or a stick of pepperoni, a block of cheese, lighter, compass, map, deer drag equip, heat packs, doe scent, glovers, parka, and a camel back with water. My Browning ABolt 270 has an ammo sleeve on the stock where I keep extra rounds. My 3X9 Accupoint does the rest. I go out to hunt, not chow. |
Fairly cheap?... is that what you think of your body? How long are you gone for?... Are you going to have a hunting camp?... I do premaid SOS for hunting camp Eggs, and Spuds apples, oranges...whatever... In the field a couple snickers bars, and Jerkey, some Coffee packets, a couple of apples to |
| Get some MREs! The new ones are actually rather tasty, and contain lots of stuff. They even include a water activated heater to heat the entrees. All the garbage goes back in the bag for pack-out. At $3.50 each (if bought at the Puyallup WAC show) you can't really beat them for value and convenience. |
