To me the secound best thing about hunting is the camp food, being out and about on the hunt is first!

Some of us go to great lengths to eat well, sleep well, and to be comfortable. Others, it's a pack of hotdogs and canned bean, buns, and get'r done.

I used to have two set ups, one for 4 and one for 8 or more for flyins. These portable camp kitchens where set up by planed meau, so they could do just basic or go 5 star.

I wish I could post pic's, but alas, they where taken before the internet era. And I have no scanner.

But seeing others would be a treat and may help others on their set of how do things and what to take.
 
I like to keep things fairly simple...

After all, you can only carry so much on a DIY fly in moose hunt :)
 
I don't have any hunting camp kitchen pics.
But I recall reading something interesting on some outdoor forum one morning.

The fellow described his camp "fancy omelette". He put on a big pot of water to boil. Then he chopped some onions and peppers and put them in a good sized zip lock bag with some spices. Added a couple eggs to the bag and squished it up to break yokes and mix things
together. Put the closed zip lock bag into the boiling water for several min.

Take out the bag when its cooked and you can dump out the omelette and have boiling water for coffee or what ever and no egg pan to clean. It sounded good so I went and gave it a try at home in the kitchen.


One day I was hunting and came upon a scene that told a story of a less fancy meal. Beside a log on a game trail was an old tin can of peaches that had apparently been roughly "opened" with a hunting knife. I could picture some hunter sitting on that log eating cold canned peaches with his knife. And enjoying every bite. Been there, done that.
 
I dont own a camp but this is my typical setup when we're out for the day
I scrape the coals from the main fire to under the pan as needed. I can control the temperature pretty well with this setup

First, I'll agree with the OP and say that indeed, the food can make a hunt. Particularly a multi-member hunt where congeniality is most important. Perhaps the best part of the day is gathering at the table to discuss the day's events over a plateful of food and a glass of wine.

If you're successful, adding some game to the meal plan is great!

Coffee, my own recipe of biscuits, apples for apple sauce and the most important: moose tenderloin wrapped in bacon. This is a hunt my brother and I usually do ourselves in late Nov/early Dec once our deer hunting buddies have go back to Southern Ont at the end of our deer hunt.

.. A look at the cooking area. When there's just the two of us, we set up the kitchen inside the 12X14 tent. We cook more or less exclusively on the woodstove.
