I can't do the hot dogs and hamburgers anymore. We are going on a 4 day tent camping trip next week. I am looking for food to prepare before we go. Like pasta salads to just eat . I also want to make the food ahead of time that I can cook while there. ideas? Just no hot dogs or hamburgers please. Thank you.
Answer
for camping trips I used to collect stuff to take that would be easy to prepare.
I made bisquick type blend for biscuits, pancakes, etc that just need water added.
Steaks and bacon or sausage for meats
fresh fruits and veggies travel best.
I even took one Cheesecake birthday cake one year!!
My kids were in elementary school the last long campout we had. So there were lots of hotdogs which I don't particularly like. No ground beef stuff as it is more mess than I wanted to do.
Prepare your pasta and put in ziplock bags in the chill box along with dressings for your salad. Don't put the dressing on the pasta until ready to eat. The pasta has a nasty habit of absorbing it.
Chop fruits and veggies and ziplock them
Soup can be prepared and ziplocked so it only has to be heated.
hardboil a dozen or so eggs and peel, zip lock them
fresh eggs can be cracked into ziplock bags also, then just pour each out separately into skillet for breakfast.

Is there anyone else besides me who prefers Trailers to a tent?

I grew up trailer camping, my parents said they used to tent camp when I was young, but don't remember it. I went from camping in trailers to tents when I got older and went without my parents. I did tent camping for 14 years. We bought a trailer in 2006 and I love it.
I would like to add, we still do the cooking outdoors. I just like knowing I don't have to wander out to the bushes in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

You know, this is something that is kind of funny. I started off camping using tents, as I got a little older I moved to trailers just for the same reasons that you did. As time would have it, I have now gone back to tents because, I really enjoy the more natural feeling. It really is about personal preference. If someone is camping in a tent, and their neighbor is camping in a RV, it doesn't mean that the RV'ers were not camping, because it is the cycle in which they are involved. The thing about camping is escaping the ordinary life at home, to get some time off doing something out of the ordinary, and lets face it, that feels good. I truly enjoy getting back to nature feeling the wind on my back, the heat of the fire on my face. I like the smells of the forest where I go. I like experiencing the sounds of the night time woods. I like the crispness of the air on my nose in the morning. No matter what I'm using as shelter. Camping really isn't that much different to everyone, you still get the same rewards whether your in a tent or a trailer.
