Best Bush Meals

Saw the open fire meal thread and thought I would start my own!

Three ones that come to mind!



My classic,

Sausauges (bear, pork, game, beef) with 1 pack uncle bens and 1 can of stag hot chilli or pre made chilli


Americas classic,

hot dogs (game weiners) with sauerkraut and slaw



something different,

Asian stirfry (I use cocunut secret with maple syrup and korean bbq sauce all in pre marinated ziploc) with beef (or chicken), peppers, onions, garlic, and kale or bok choi all sauteed up over cous cous or rice



Share your go to camp out meals, whether its a home prep or a gas station dinner spill the beans! (Literally)

Because I can only hunt weekends, I go hard leave camp in the dark and get back in the dark and am exhausted and just basically need and want to go to bed because have to get up super early next morning (not much time/energy to cook something elaborate). So wild game homemade stew is my go-to. Toss it in a pot and done in less than 5 mins. So good and provides tons of energy for the next day

Burgers, hot dogs, perogies/sausage/onion fry, or fresh trout caught are my typical go to's.....but, for hike in camping/hunting, this year I'm going to try dehydrated meals from good2goco, I bought a food bucket from them, looks like a good bang for your buck, rather than your typical mountain house etc meals...

Two white gas Coleman's . . . one has the cast iron griddle (not the Coleman aluminum griddle) thick cut smoked bacon and unpeeled spud hash-browns, farm eggs to come in the bacon fat. Other stove has the coffee pot, and water heating for the dishes.
Fresh mountain air, great fall colours, and elk on the move. Early elk season in the Flathead . . . also sheep tag in the pocket.

I am with the kis camp. A foot long bun filled with ham, cheese, mustard and butter. Some cookies on the side. 41 years ago I lived on this hitch hiking all over BC. I had a little stove to make coffee and the occasional fried egg. Man time flies.

I make piles of apple pancakes in the summer and freeze them as well as apple cakes. For breakfast many mornings i warm two pancakes up in a frying pan, eat them with peanut butter and home-made jam on top, with a big cup of strong black tean and honey and I'm ready for a morning hunt with a big piece of cake in my pack with a big bar of dark French chocolate (No Frills $5.00) in my pack.

I like to bring frozen slabs of home-made polenta and heat them in a pan over a fire with a grilled Polish or Serbian BBQ sausage on the grill for dinner. I bring a frozen portion of leftover stew to heat for a dinner for one night too. A lot depends on what kind of meals we have at home the week before I go and then I'll freeze some leftovers. I've hunted with a group of guys of Chinese origin and they cook a huge pot of rice and thaw out containers of frozen Chinese take out roast pork, BBQ Pork, steamed chicken, squid and greens for some meals in addition to steaks and other western fare.

bear cheese smokies and a bun, moose/elk burgers, spaghetti pre made, with game burger, butter chicken with naan, wild game stew, bacon eggs, hashbrowns, sometimes chili, buns lunch meat and cheese for lunch. we eat well in hunting camp!! moosin

Sausages [traditional italian or harvest from Costco] hash browns: diced spuds bacon onion garlic banana peppers cajun seasoning. Bacon & cheese hamburgers, moose burgers if we have any left. Chicken Fajita's. Frozen pork ribs warmed in tin foil over the fire with rice side. Grouse, browned and finished in mushroom soup on a bed of rice. Pork steaks cooked on the grill over the fire with Korean BBQ sauce. Wild game steaks with steamed butter carrots. Wild meat stew, great on those days someone wants to hang in camp to tend it, low and slow. Smokie night. Home made chicken soup with loads of crackers. Chili from home, or Stag. Fried egg sandwich's. Jalepeno Cheddar smokie dogs. I do the cooking, my buddies do the dishes and mix the drinks, apparently the cooking is better if the cook doesn't go dry.

Nice to see everyone eating a variety of meals. They sound good.
We eat like kings when on our hunting trips, no insta meals in our camp. Braised moose shanks in the dutch oven? Yes please.
