Raw Veggies and Fruits
The first among the camping food tips is to carry raw vegetables and fruits. Carrying raw fruits and vegetables is always of advantage.
The best way to carry the vegetables and fruits is to store them in an ice box, along with some ice cubes or cool water. You can do this effectively only when the weather is pretty cool and not very hot. We would advise you against carrying fresh foods and vegetables in extremely hot weather, as there is a strong chance that they would spoil.
Breads and the Likes
Bread is also an excellent option when you want to go camping.
The advantage of using it while on a camping is that its easier to carry, and lasts for a longer time. You can make delicious sandwiches with the help of bread and vegetables. The bread can be toasted on the campfire. The slight flavor of wooden ash from the burning wood of the campfire gives the bread a heavenly tinge which is as good as tasting nature.
Canned Food
Canned food seldom goes bad and is rarely wasted. You can also cook canned food on a camp fire. Canned fish and meat is easily available at any general store or at a store that sells camping gear and supplies.
We would recommend you to use canned or tinned food, if the camping trip is going to be a long one. You may also find a large number of fruits and vegetables that are available in cans. These fruits and vegetables can also be cooked with ease and they would also last long, as they contain preservatives.
Auxiliaries
Auxiliaries, to the normal food are an absolute necessity. Be sure to carry an assorted range of auxiliaries like tomato sauce, pepper, jam, marmalade, cheese, red chili powder, and barbecue sauce.
These auxiliaries add an amazing flavor to the food that is cooked on a camp fire. We would also recommend you to carry these in plastic cans or containers, as tins or glass bottles considerably add to the weight of the bag pack.
Munchies
Marshmallows, chocolates, nuts, crackers, and dry fruits should never be forgotten when you go camping.
Especially if you are taking kids along with you, marshmallows can be roasted on the camp fire, and chocolate can be melted on to the crackers to add to the joy of the kids.
