Okay, you are off for a couple of days (and nights) hunting or fishing, and you are camping out. What would be your normal camping food, and how do you cook it?

My hunting camp example:
Get out of the swag an hour and a half before daylight and light the fire, put the billy on and make a brew of coffee (or tea). A few slices of toast, another cuppa, toss a handful of muslie bars and a water bottle into the day pack and head off.

Get back to camp 3 or 4 hours after daylight, light the fire again and cook up a good feed of bacon and eggs, drink more tea or coffee. Hang around camp till 1:00 or 2:00, cutting firewood, snacking on cheese and biscuits and drinking the odd cuppa etc.

About 2ish, I will get something going for dinner in the camp oven, usually a shoulder of venison or a pair of wild duck, maybe a rabbit. Normally just put the meat in the camp oven with a packet of dry French onion soup, add a chopped onion, pour in a can of Coke-a-cola, put the lid on and bury the whole she-bang in the coals of the fire and forget about it till we get back from the evening hunt. Then we’ll cook up some vegies, potatoes peas carrots etc and serve it up. Really good tucker!!! The meat is tender and very tasty. Desert is usually something like tinned peaches and cream.

Then we will wash-up, stoke up the fire and sit around with a favourite liquid refreshment in hand, swapping hunting and fishing stories (you know, the normal campfire B-S) till it’s time to hit the swag.

Whats your camp food like??
