Simple and Cheap Camping Food for Backpacking, Bushcraft or Hiking

Great video and great information

Great video and great information

Eating like a peasant, damn. At least get healthy foods if you're going to skimp.

I mean is any of this without chemicals

Those Mountain House dehydrated meals are like $11 now. $6 was cheap.

All processed junk food

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video man!! I've done some of the same stuff in regards to packing light like the tuna pouches and spam pouches. Very awesome! They're great source of nutrients and not alot to pack in your journey!

True Lemon and True Lime are great for backpacking.

A can of Spam. My backpacking food of choice in grade school. Don't be a wuss and moan about the weight. Suck it up, wussy boy. ( NOTE: 'wussy boy' is gender neutral ).

These are great . I am seeing a lot of salt though.

You can by package of peanut butter there lighter than the cups

Can't find Prego ready meals any more

Thank you for sharing this video, I’m just getting into tending trips but also great hunting days too.

I used to add one of the various cup a soups to the mashed potatoes for a different flavour

Great video!

Don't forget those microwavable Mac and cheese and ravioli I just use boiling hot water on camps stove ready to eat on cold nights

FYI you can take and cook anything you want when camping duh

Bought a freeze drier to hedge against loosing the food in our freezers . Looking forward to trying some stuff I don’t normally bring . Good video. Have a good one

just went camping a few weeks ago and what i do now a days is take those grocery store ready to eat/microwaveable pouches like you mentioned, Prego ready meals, Starkrist Tuna or Chicken and mix them up with the Military MRE (surplus or the commercial variants like XMRE, Z-Ration, First Strike Ration, etc). Super coinvent and way better than bulky canned goods or freeze dried mountain house over priced crap

great video. First time i went camping a few years ago i brought bulky canned goods. Luckily I was car camping so i didnt have to carry in a pack all day, but none the less, I now know better that theres better options out there.

excellent content

Hate to say it but none of the foods were healthy, full of preservative, sodium. Easy to prepare meant it was bad for you.

Love the idea of dehydrating leftovers! I'm not sure why it never occured to me. Thanks for the tip!

Great info thank you for sharing!

Great ides! Thanks so much. :)

Sounds crazy but, I've cooked frozen pizza on a campfire. Just section out a spot for some flattened coals, wrap it in a tin foil envelop, and cook 5-7 minutes. Use a stick, if you can life the pizza... Its cooked on bottom. Throws some coals or hot rocks on top to cook the toppings.

Did he just call SPAM "Fresh meat"...... Spam is processed! lmao

Thanks so much. I commute so much on buses and work 4 jobs and a fulltime student. Because of disease
.they bus driver will not walk back to check if eating

I love your videos but this one had me cringing of the sounds the packets were making as you were handling them. I know that sounds nuts but when it comes to videos and people handling anything with that sound I immediately change the channel. Thanks again for all your advice...and so sorry I could not finish watching it. Does anyone else feel the same or it just me? 😟

Thanks for the tips.

All processed junk he picked up at walmart.

Very helpful, appreciate it!

not bad

That crunching of the packets though........... it's the reason I watched the whole video

One thing i always keep at the ready is a few family sized bags of jack links beef jerky. Great snack for in between meals and salty so helps hold water but not to salty where it can dehydrate you

Knorr has the rice in those same types of packets for $1 at walmart mix a little chilli $2-$3 or top it off with a thick canned soup $1.50 or some meat maybe sausage, spam or grilled chicken $1-$2 and your all set quick tasty high energy meal

If you enjoy the taste of chicken ramen like me but don't want all that sodium here's what I do . Walmart carries a small package of Mahatma yellow rice for $0.75. And the Dollar Tree carries a 16oz bottle of seasoning salt for a dollar. The seasoning salt smells and taste just like chicken ramen with like half the sodium. Pairing them together you get a hardier and healthier meal that tastes just like chicken ramen. There's enough rice in the bag for a lunch for two or a Hearty dinner for one at the end of the day. I also like to fry up some smoked sausage slices to pair with it for fat and protein. It's delicious and it's cheap. If you want to make it last longer you can substitute the smoked sausage with summer sausage. But in my opinion the fresh sausage is tastier.

Love it! You're my kind of dude.
When I saw the Spam I was like 😍

Good info. Thank you.

Great video thanks for all the help

I feel like there are waaaay too many carbs in that but each person has their own diet.

I know this is extremely late as the video was posted 2 years ago but some bullion cubes could work well. They’re very small and compact as well as simple.

TrueLime and TrueLemon packets would be a great alternative to leaky lemon juice packets. They are crystallize lemon or lime juice so they are small, light and won’t leak.

As a homeless person I approve..
I shop souly on longer lasting food

And I swap packs of condiments from the gas station and fast food places..

wtf is "twinnings"?
