Plan ahead. Your goal should be a simple and filling menu. Write it down on paper for all your meals. This will be a help when packing also. You can measure and combine dry ingredients in ziplocks ahead of time. You can also label the bag with what meal it should be used for. When shopping for a camp stove, remember that propane is easiest to use but gas stoves will produce more heat. Cooking your first couple of meals at time and packed in a cooler will save time on your first day while you are still setting up camp. Precooked meats also last longer than raw meats. To keep things cool, blocked ice lasts longer than cubed ice. Make sure the cooler is closed tightly or even use a strap to keep it closed to prevent animals from entering.
