Camping Hacks - Pancakes

We make pancakes by adding egg, sugar, and a cup of milk to a single batch pouch of biscuit mix. The single pouches stay fresh and travel in our Scamp cupboard along with the heat and eat rice packs and the instant mashed potato packs.

Some good (and clever) ideas

Some good (and clever) ideas in this list!  Here are a couple more, from our experiences living for a couple months each year in central Africa (which is a bit like camping):

  • For sterilizing water, we have used the Steripen (which is small) and more recently the Sawyer filter (which requires a bucket);
     
  • Vacuum-packed foods come in small packets, and require no refrigeration. In particular, we have found vacuum-packed meats a boon, easy to add to rice and pasta in preparing (fairkly tasty) entrees.
