Going camping?!
Answers: going camping for 4 days does anyone have some good recipes that i could make that are easy good and cheap
breakfast.....
boil water...and in ziplock sandwich bags....put a few eggs..a touch of milk...and whatever you would like in your scrabbled eggs like cheese..ham..bacon...veggies...whatever.... the back...smash it up in your fingers...as to scramble them...put in the boiling water...and let cook for like 15 minutes...and wallah...instant omlet..
all too famous smores:
with the chocolate, marshmallows, between the Graham crackers.
of course, sandwiches of some type.
I used to be a Boy Scout Troop leader, so I think I got some goodies for ya!
Every single scout knows about foil packs...in aluminum foil, wrap a burger, tater slices, carrot slices, onion slices, and whatever else you like (I love yellow squash in this), add a pat of butter, salt and pepper, wrap tightly and cook on a grate over the fire. Delish.
Corn on the cob...don't husk it! Soak the corn, husk and all, in salted water for a half hour. Lay it on a grate until all of the outside husk is blackened (this will take awhile, keep turning the corn), peel it back, add butter and yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Now, the golden rule of campfire cooking...if you can make it at home, you can do it on a campfire. That's it...be imaginative and just do it.
One thing...everything tastes soooooooo much better over an open fire and in the fresh air.
Good luck!

canned pork and beans, and canned fruits in syrup. I don't know what they call it nowadays but in my day they called a little military can opener a p-38 and a john wayne, fits on your keychain, and bags of trialmix, canned tuna, and canned sardines and crakers.
Chili is easy. You need ground meat, Chili seasoning tomatoes, or caned tomatoes, kidney beans, and onion. Oh yeah, a good size pot that you can put over a campfire.
