Pl anning and Packing for the Camping Kit chen
If you are hiking, everything that goes into your pack should be used while you are away. If you don’t need it, why carry it? However, if you are getting ready to go on a family camping trip and everything is going to be loaded into the car or trailer – not on your back – you have a lot more freedom when you are choosing what to take. Planning for the camping kitchen involves two stages – what you are going to eat and what you will need to take to prepare it. It is important to work out a meal plan
for your trip, which should also include snacks, drinks and treats. You don’t
necessarily have to stick rigidly to this plan – you can have Tuesday’s dinner on Friday night if that is what you fancy. Or you might see something while you are away in a farm shop or local store that looks so good you buy it for that night’s meal. The advantage of writing out a menu
is that you can make a list of all the other ingredients you will need for each meal and get them pre-packed. Remember your favourite herbs and spices, sauces and all the other things that you will use in creating your chosen dishes.
