It cost me less than $20 and only takes about a week to arrive. You can get a flag pole mount that fits a receiver hitch.

I'm late to this thread...been a veg most of my life. If you have to kill it to eat, I don't eat it.
Got major respect for vegans.

I'm a new member and also super late to this thread, but I'm a fellow vegan overlander and Canadian!
I'm hoping to document some recipes this summer to share with you guys.
Cheers!

My wife and I have done a few different things...
1 Individually wrapped veggie wraps are easy (Hummus, sprouts, peppers,cucumber, cabbage.)
2 Pre-cook seasoned potatoes are my favorite because of all the options; then reheat with refried beans, put in a soft shell with salsa, lettuce, & avocados for potato tacos. You can just reheat with refried beans, add tofu crumbles and vegan cheese, then salsa for a breakfast bowl. Or just reheat potatoes and dip in ketchup!
3 Granola, fruit, & coconut flakes with coconut milk is easy & fast.
4 Box of veggie broth, rice, veggies for an easy soup.
5 Can of Amy's spicy chili with a bag of organic corn chips.
6 Tortilla chips and a big bowl of guacamole can be meal...
7 Mason jar with vanilla extract, chia seeds, & coconut milk left in fridge, add fruit.
Just depends how much prep work you want to put into it and how long you will be camping... hope this helps.

I heard of doing something similar with overnight oats, is that similar to the Chia recipe? I've just started considering Chia and have no clue how to prepare it.
Boort
#'s 2 and 7 sound interesting. Can you elaborate on what you use for seasoning and how you store the potatoes?

Those all sound so yummy! Any suggestions on food wrapping after pre prepping veggies to keep them fresh? And do you have an Instagram?

I use garlic power, chili power, crushed red pepper & typically a seasoning salt. (Italian seasoning or Cheyenne are substituted or added depending on what we plan to make), I prefer more heat than the wife so also depends which of us prepares it. We commonly just store in a Rubbermaid type of container and in the cooler, then toss on the skillet to reheat.
Chia is super simple, approximately 2tbsp of chia, 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla extract, then fill mason jar with almond or coconut milk, stir or shake well so chia seeds don't clump up, refrigerate overnight, prior to leaving. basic Chia pudding. store in cooler, scoop out add granola & fruit for a great breakfast! I've also seen recipes that have you add maple syrup, which is probably not a bad idea, but have personally not tried it.
Fajitas are also super simple (tortilla's; cut up a few peppers & onion, toss in skillet. spread refried beans on tortilla's, add hot sauce or salsa & guac. (lettuce if you want) then top with sauteed onions & peppers. Easy peasy.
I'm not sure whats available in the US, but here in Canada we have a great selection of "meatless ground meat".
These Yves "meats" come in portions small enough for 2 and are super easy to pack and take along on trips. I'm hoping to make videos in the near future of how I cook with this yummy goodness. (Basically the same way you would cook ground meats)

Yea, I think those getting into the plantbased/vegan lifestyle tend to overthink meals & recipes because meat & dairy has always been such a huge part of the "diet' of most Americans. Instagram & tumblr is swhirstein & the wife's instagram is j.me_linn although we haven't posted many recipe's on there. Going to try and start to do more though this year.

We normally just put veggies in a tight sealing container, Rubbermaid or equivalent. Sometimes we will roll veggie wraps or buffalo chickpea wraps in parchment paper then into a Rubbermaid container.
Advocate III
Almost forgot the buffalo chickpea wrap... Roast canned chickpeas until they dry out and get soft, transfer to a bowl, mix in buffalo sauce, diced jalapeños, & green onions. Spread mixture evenly onto tortilla's then roll like you would a pinwheel wrap. Let sit in fridge for awhile then cut into bit size pieces... It's legit!
@Swhirstein
I'll have to try that. It sounds like a blistered Jalapeno hummus dip I made last summer. We used a pack of pre-made Hummus, Roasted Jalapenos, Green Onions on the BBQ, then chopped them up and ate with Corn chips, Crackers, and Veggie sticks.

We have had good results using a vacuum sealer. Chopped veggies for days out of the cooler. Toss them in some glassware and bake over the campfire. Occasionally add in some Tofurkey links chopped up for some variety. Also, we will pre-roll salads in tortillas. It is a good way to consolidate them down. My kids prefer it that way.

My wife and I are both vegan, we like to do a Jambalaya over the camp fire. Use a base of brown rice, add red and green peppers to it along with onion, garlic, a large can of diced tomato, paprika,oregano and salt pepper along with hot sauce, we also use trader joes vegan Italian "sausage". Its a really good filling meal.

Hey all, totally late to this thread, but wanted to chime in. My wife is a vegetarian and has decided to be in charge of the menu for our two week trip this fall. She likes to plan far in advance and has come up with options for herself that can have meat included later on for the rest of us who eat it. One option I'm excited about is already prepared red beans and rice that she will freeze and then thaw later on. She makes vegan red beans and rice at home a lot so we just decided to give it a try for overlanding. She's also planning on making rice in advance and freezing it for use during the trip. We figure it will save time and propane. I'm sure she'll have plenty of other ideas between now and August. Thanks for starting this thread!
