Remember that peanut butter, oranges, bacon and canned fish are what attract bears the most.

By the way, please consider reporting on what you did and how it worked out!

I like to keep it basic. It helps me with my fantasy that Im a rugged cowboy surviving off the bare minimal as I Travel to my destination... Or something to that effect.... Dont judge me....

Does that mean your compatriots have to stay upwind when dinner is served.

Not really possible to live like that now a days with hunting laws in place, you can't just live off the land like they did then

how about a Whelen Sandwich? named after it's inventor Townsend Whelen of turn of the century,1901,outdoor fame.a "clean out the frige" sandwich that's made at home and fried up in camp.the trick of course is heavy thick bread with cooked bacon,fried egg,cheese,onion..whatever.you hit camp and heat it up with the grease of your choice.no pots to clean or water to boil,just wipe out the fry pan.i would think a big hot sandwich at the end of the day would beat a freeze dry dinner--or a MRE...

I'm biased. My personal favourite is fresh trout and baked beans over a campfire. Of course, that implies that you use a campfire instead of a stove and that you have luck when fishing.

That is a nice setup.

Hmmm... shore lunch! From my brother's fishing lodge.
Friendly lake trout - I'd guess about 10 lbs (small for this lake)

PIZZA! or not.

Beef stew (or pork hock and lentil stew) assembled, partially cooked then bagged & frozen. Actually just about any home cooked meal that can be prepared ahead of time and frozen will work. It will thaw by the time you set up camp. You aren't limited to ramen noodles and pre-packed tuna (although I do like that!)
