While going for a camp the camping site, equipment, list, medical kit and outdoor activities should be well planned. But there are some other basics which are as important and should not be ignored.

While enjoying the camping site in wilderness or desert, sea-shore or a river bank, the meals eaten can be made innovative and enjoyed equally well. If you are camping nomadically, it doesn’t mean you have to eat primitively as well. Interesting food doesn’t require any special equipment to prepare. A slice of experiment with a pinch of creativity can result in unforgettable meals. Roasted food and baked dishes are an all time favorite with campers who like travelling light and enjoy with the edible resources available in the camp site. Quick recipes can be churned out easily with some preparation and planning. It is advisable to carry some basic ingredients while depending on local availability for the rest.

The sense of involvement through distribution of labor will make the whole process cherish able. So next time you go camping consider camping meals as a team building activity!
