What's your biggest camp cooking gripe/challenge

its all about where you keep the cooler. always park so the cooler is in the shade if it stays in your car. always cover the cooler with sleeping bags, preferably in a tent on the ground in the shade or just on the car under 2-3 bags.

cold beer/food is life, dont fuk around

I have no gripes. I make all my meals at home and then dehydrate them. Then at camp just add water, boil a few minutes and let sit until reconstituted. I started with recipes in THIS BOOK and now just use all my own recipes. I pack them full of veggies and other healthy ingredients. I usually make a big batch that will make 4 meals for 2 (8 servings). The main trick is to cut all ingredients into small pieces. Also, vacuum sealing helps maintain the flavor for longer and allows me to keep these meals for up to two years.

For messy pan clean up put a little red wine n water in your pan. Add heat, little scrub and all done.

And save old tea bags as your 'cleaning scrub', as they are also pretty eco friendly to spew the tea grind into the soil later.
