camping backpack contents image
SBB
I'm going camping this weekend and I am looking for a few suggestions regarding food to pack. I've recently lost 30 lbs and this is my first weekend in a bathing suit. So, naturally, I want to stay lookin good and not chow down on some fatty, salty, bloating foods. I've already got fruits and veggies down on my list (frozen because I read somewhere that it will double as ice, which is an amazing space saver idea!)
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Answer
I'm a seasoned camper and have favorites for the type of camping I'll be doing. Sounds like you are either RV or car camping since you will have a cooler. In this instance, just remember the less pots and pans, the better.
- First rule: Prepare anything at home that you possibly can. Feels like a pain but you will love yourself for doing it before hand.
- Lunch: Sandwiches, fruit, cheese, nuts, chips/salsa, hot dogs/veggie dogs
- Dinner is easiest if you take stuff that can cook over/in the fire (hot dogs - on sticks, steaks & chicken on a grill rack, garlic bread-in foil, corn still in the husk-right in the fire, baked potatoes-in foil)
- Any pastas as this is easy and filling
- When cooking on the fire consider making 'aluminum foil' pockets (make a sealed pocket out of heavy duty foil filled with meat and veggies, like a nice fish with lemon/herbs, carrots, potatoes -- and throw in the fire). It's like a crock pot!
- Pre-made sauces (marinara, pesto)
- Breakfast: Before departing on your trip dice up your favorite omelet fillings like green peppers, smoked salmon, tomatoes, cheese, onion and throw these in a zip lock with uncooked scrambled eggs. Keep it on ice then when ready to eat, warm up the pan and dump the prepared and pre-measured contents in a pan.
- If backpacking and you need to take non perishables, my FAVORITE is pasta, pesto, and smoked salmon. All these don't need to refrigerated and are like a gourmet meal in the middle of no where, and it is a very easy meal: just boil the pasta and eat out of the pot!
Good luck and have fun!

What are important features to look for in a backpack for travelling in Asia?
Holly
Hi, can anyone advise me on any particular features to look for when choosing a backpack / rucksack. I won't be carrying camping stuff / bedding. Will probably be in hot and cold parts of Asia.
Thank you!
Answer
Make sure the backpack is water-proof and well insulated. It is really important that it has a pocket for a water bottle. Make sure the straps have some padding if you are going to be carrying it around a fair amount.
*And as an added tip for the contents, make sure you always carry a role of toilet paper and a bottle of Purel with you wherever you go.
Asia is amazing! Have fun :)
