    spices??

    Three I don't see suggested here yet that I usually bring are Old Bay, Cumin and Lemon Pepper. I bring these on every trip. They're unique tastes that can really jazz up a dish. The best thing I think about them is they give a unique and recognizable flavor profile (old bay - Cajun and...

    Cooler Suggestions

    I like use Yeti coolers and have heard great things about Engel and Manta. Lots of magazines and sites do cooler shoot-outs, I believe Overland Journal did one a couple years back, worth a google...

One super easy camp meal I do is a vegan Bahn Mi sandwich - grill tofu or fry it, put on baguette with cucumbers, pickled carrots, and lots of cilantro; drizzle with teriyaki and...
