What are some good lunch ideas for camping?

Question

My husband is going camping this weekend and I need to put together some lunches for him. Usually I would throw some meat and vegies in a cooler and load it in the truck, but they are horseback riding in and it's an 8 hour ride to get there. So, I need some ideas for easy lunches for him.

He won't be able to take any kind of cooler so I can't take anything that will spoil. He doesn't have to worry about breakfast and dinner, some one else is providing that.

Anyone have any good ideas for lunches I can prepare ahead of time that he can throw in a back pack or saddle bag? Any help is appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

P B and J's with trail mix.

canned beans, chili, chef boyardee, tuna, vienna sausages (most camping knifes have can openers) all good with crackers

rations from a surplus store

Answer 2

Budweiser Barley sandwiches cooled in a nice cold mountain stream has always worked for our group.

Beef jerky is always good.  Some bread in baggies and small jars of peanut butter and jelly (make when he gets there), trail mix, a bag of dried fruit (we get it at Costco), sardines, apples, oranges, pears, MM's (if its cool).

We freeze steaks (wrap them in newspaper) and they take quite a while to thaw as we walk in, we cook them over a camp fire.  You could do the same with hotdogs.

Wyler's Lemonade mix is great to add to your water.

Answer 3

Bass Pro has some good lunches that hikers take with them.     If you don't want to get them some fruit and little pack of cheese and crackers will work.     My wife will pack me a apple and fix me a cheese sandwitch since I like cheese,  also she will send patatoe chips or pretzels.     He can also carry beef jurkey for a snack.

Answer 4

  Barilla dried tortellinini in the pasta isle at your grocery store. they are light to carry , big on calories , easy to prepare and delicious with just a little salt and olive oil
