Food storage for campers while camping

Remove powdered foods from their original containers and repack small quantities in double plastic bags. Between the two bag layers, slip in an identification label and the mixing instructions.

Transfer spices from large containers into clean prescription bottles or plastic film canisters; label the containers and lids.

To protect eggs, carry them in a container filled with flour.

To lighten your backpack, carry powdered egg, which is as nutritional as fresh egg and is easier to store. For the same reasons, take powdered instead of liquid milk and potatoes, and dried vegetables and fruit.

A stream can serve as a refrigerator; put the food in well-anchored waterproof bags.


Good or Bad!



Protect your food from raccoons.

Check out this blog. It shows an Outsak UL holding up against a raccoon. Similar to other bags, but it looks like the Outsak has undergone some extensive field testing. Great photos.

Protect food from rodents and birds

When I backpack and camp, I use a wire mesh food bag to protect food from mice, birds, chipmunks, etc. The small animals and birds can't chew through it. I've used mine at the Grand Canyon, Ozark Trail and in Rocky Mt National Park. These bags are light, flexible, strong and pretty cheap. There are different ones on the market. They are all quite similar. The bag is wire mesh and the top closes with velcro. I use what is called a Grubpack. It was the lowest cost one I could find and it works really well. I bought mine at www.grubpack.com
