[Levi Garrett]

Gonna have to do some walking

 

[MadDog]

What? No kitchen sink soup?

Do you have Gatehouse flying in to cook for you guys or what?

Best of luck buddy!

 

[Doug]

Thanks Joe. Yes I did not add the usual last line about kitchen sink soup and deep-fried grilled cheese sandwiches (camp joke).........

Four of us are pretty accomplished cooks, and one is a professional. But we try not to let him cook too much, he gets too many pots and pans dirty!!!

and good luck backatcha! Going for both weeks?

With that menue, it looks like you guys have to spend less time eating and more time hunting

escargots, sweet and sour goose legs, basmati rice, baby carrots with maple syrup

Better have some expensive wine to go with that, or what kinda hunting meal would it be

 

[eltorro]

good luck. You sure don't rough it much....

 

[MadDog]

and good luck backatcha! Going for both weeks?

Doug

Only open 7 days where I'm from Doug, but I might stick around for another week of bow after gun closes if there are tags left.

Most likely will be, we only got 2 doe tags out of 9 guys.

 

[dumbdawg]

[dizzy dan 1]

The rest of our season will look something like this:

The stove will look like this:

The food will look like this:

But in the end hopefully the results will look like this:

Thanks again Doug! I will be thinking of your menu when I am eating cold freeze dried food on the side of a mountain.

If the canvas tent was coming out, things might be different. But got no time to eat, gotta hunt

 

[senior]

I only see one pic above I like Davey


Hey Doug impressed with the menu
I assume the dec menu will be the same...please...please..
Don't make me show you a unhappy smiley

 

[Doug]

Back to Davey.........I did my time in tents, thirty years in the Army and used to do the hiking/snow-shoeing/ cross-country skiing with the pulks, etc etc etc. I ate enough freeze dried muck to last me a life-time. Including the old Long Range Patrol Rations (pronounced lerps) which were time-expired freeze-dried experiments on food-like objects. Even hungry cold and miserable a fellow was hard pressed to enjoy them! And now that I am an old fart I like my comfort, and REAL food. BTW yes, we have wine with all suppers....

Back to senior........oh yes we will eat at LEAST that good when you are up, including some of Marcel's home-made slow-smoked pea-meal bacon, which might just be the finest bacon you ever tasted! We eat like this for all of our camps, and work weekends, etc etc etc. Life is too short to eat poorly......

Doug

 

[senior]

OK...longer belt now on shopping list

 

[blargon]

You guys must all use quads to get to your watches after eating all that food

 

[Doug]

Quads as in quadriceps, yes, we are all shank's mare, no machines......

Doug

 

[WCTHEMI]

This has got me drooling and even more excited for camp next week.

 

[stanway]

We eat like this for all of our camps, and work weekends, etc etc etc. Life is too short to eat poorly......

Doug

That's all part of the fun in camp isn't it? Our big thing is dinner - there is nothing like unwinding after a hard day of hiking with good food, good drinks, and good friends/family.

Great menu Doug. Thanks for sharing.

[iluvmy300]

man, and I thought we had it good

That was our menu from this years moose hunt. We also brought up a turkey fryer this year and did a few 10lb batches of hot wings.

I'll be saving your menu Doug for some fresh ideas for our camp menu next year. Thanks.
