Here is the final product. I am 98% done with this bugout trailer. It has been converted into a toy hauler and sleep in camper conversion.

Thank you for allowing me to camp near your roost. This is a special place where few humans are allowed. You are important creatures, from which human beings can learn a great deal. You don't kill, but rather eat what is already dead. Recycling life that has been lost is an honorable role and is critical to Mother Earth. You eliminate virtually all disease from the environment.

Great Camping Through Great Food

Camping is a great outdoor experience. A lot of people go camping to leave the complexities of the city behind. It you decide to go on a long camping trip, make sure that you have coolers and fridges to store in food. It's not camping if you don't have food. It will only be a great camping trip if you have great food and drinks to enjoy.

In your first day in camp, start your day right by having a tasty meal. Try bacons and eggs. Then you could have coffee or tea. Nothing will go wrong if you start a day this way. It will seem like all things will turn out okay. It is a good decision that you have considered having coolers and fridges with you on the trip.

You should have different coolers and fridges for different purposes. Try to imagine the things that you will need for the trip. Visualize the different kinds of food that you'll eat. By doing this, you will know the type of coolers and fridges that you need to bring. By trying to see things in your mind you could prepare everything you need for the trip.

You have to know if there are utilities that are available for you. This is relevant information if you are going camping. Knowing this information will also help you decide which type of coolers and fridges to bring. If you have access to electricity you can bring a compressor fridge. If gas is the only available utility for you, then bring an absorption fridge. Having the right fridge along can help you maintain the quality of your food.

Packing ice for camping trips is a necessity. This also means that you have to choose from a variety of coolers and fridges for the best type to use. A cooler with a secured seal and a hole for draining purposes is highly recommended for storing ice. Setting the cooler in a shaded area will also help preserve the ice inside.

Securing the lid of coolers and fridges on a camping trip is also very important. By ensuring that your food is properly kept in a cooler or fridge, you can be sure that animals won't be lured to your camp. Even if animals do pass by, they will not be able to find your food. You should be responsible in handling your food.

You should also schedule when to open coolers and fridges. You can follow this schedule properly by using different coolers for each day. By opening and closing of coolers, most of the cool air is released and the temperature inside is not regulated. This is bad news if you want to keep your food fresh. Proper scheduling of the food you eat will help preserve the quality of your food.

It's great to go camping especially when you have planned it very well and everything goes smoothly. Its nice getting in touch with nature, and there's no better way to celebrate life than eating good food in the great out doors. Who would have thought that you will get all that fun just by bringing along coolers and fridges?

Food safety: Keeping the crap out of camping






Memorial Day signifies the unofficial kickoff for outdoor activities like camping. Camping can either be a flurry of fun and adventure, or a miserable few days of getting sick in the bushes and being dehydrated. Every summer, thousands of people set out on these camping adventures, and every summer, many become stricken with foodborne illnesses or a parasitic infection. Some of the most common culprits include norovirus, E. coli O157:H7, Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia duodenalis. Such illnesses are not limited to the occasional outdoor excursion; there are many recorded outbreaks at children's summer camps. In 2007 norovirus struck down dozens of children and staff members in Three Rivers, MI at a local summer camp. Such outbreaks are not new; in 1994 E. coli O157:H7 infected multiple people at a summer camp in Virginia. Since children are more susceptible to these illnesses than adults, it's especially important that when camping with children care is taken to prevent infection. The most frequent sources of these bugs are improperly cooked meat, cross contamination and contaminated water. Basic camping food safety is similar to kitchen food safety. It's important to keep meat in the cooler below 40°F. To maintain a low temperature, store the food in a large cooler, in the shade and away from the campfire. Be sure to load up with plenty of ice. Avoid opening the large cooler by storing drinks in a smaller cooler. Make sure meat is packaged properly by putting it in ...

Great Outdoors Plus Portable Camping Stove Equals Great Food

Nowadays, the appeal of the great outdoors is stronger than ever. But such love for nature does not necessarily mean that certain creature comforts will be disregarded particularly when it comes to enjoying warm, cooked and delicious food. Fortunately, you can always bring a portable camping stove on your great outdoor trips.

Convenient Way to Start a Fire

Just as its name implies, a camping stove is designed specifically for use during camping trips and other outdoor activities requiring a portable way of cooking food and boiling water. Well, of course, you may learn how to make a fire from scratch with the use of tinder, rocks and old-fashioned manual labor like how the caveman used to do it. But if you have a more convenient way of making a fire, then you most probably will do it like any modern man.

In most instances, a portable camping stove is powered by a small propane gas tank.

You can then produce a fire by simply turning a lever in the required direction, which takes just a few seconds, and then turning it off once the food is cooked or the water is boiled. The small propane gas tank is refillable after every camping trip. Think of a camping stove as a household stove downsized to a convenient size.

Range of Choices

And because we live in a world where the choices are numerous for even the smallest item on the shelves, you also have many choices when it comes to the portable camping stove. Take a look at the online catalogs and the lines of shelves with this product to see what we are talking about.

You can choose from a one-burner to a four-burner depending on your needs while camping as well as the space where the portable stove will be placed. For example, a one-burner stove is suitable when you want to hike through the woods with a minimum amount of load on your back. The four-burner stove is suitable for the RV with its bigger space and, presumably, large number of users.

You can also choose a portable camping stove made from either aluminum or cast iron. Both have their pros and cons when it comes to durability, maintenance care and aesthetic beauty but we can confidently say that either one is absolutely functional in the rugged conditions of the great outdoors.

Great Benefits

And when we say functional, we also mean that the camping stove performs many functions that make it a must-have on anybody's list. You can continue cooking delicious dishes of vegetables, whole grains, meat and fishes worthy of a good restaurant even when you are in the middle of nowhere.

The emphasis is on cooking the food since you don't want to deal with any illnesses associated with uncooked food and unclean water while you are hours away from the nearest hospital. Besides, if you don't know how to start a fire for the campfire, the portable stove is a great way to light the tinder.

The next time you are planning for an outdoor trip, be sure to include the best portable camping stove that your money can buy and your space can provide. The benefits are well worth the price, the weight and the space.

Dehydrated Chili Meal Great for Camping Hiking Backpacking






In this video we share some thoughts on making a homemade chili meal. Throughout the process, there are options, vegetables used, this pot had onions, green peppers, and lots of diced tomatoes. Meat was another choice, this batch had chicken breast. This chili had 2 types of beans, light kidney and pinto, the combinations on beans alone are plentiful. What seasonings to use? To your own taste. The dehydration process for the meals was 7 1/2 hours at 125-130 degrees. The bowls lost between 12-17 ounces of water in weight. More than we had anticipated. Fortunately, this is cooking, and extreme accuracy is not needed :) Keep in mind, that after dehydrating the chili, many dry ingredients can still be added. This is a great hearty meal for on the trail, hiking or backpacking. Please visit www.usframecrew.com
