When hunting, I live on meatloaf sandwhiches. Made of venison when to be had. I'll be taking a stack of them up to camp. Everyone there will stuff one into there "possibles" bag. When bird huntin' tuck one into my game vest, same when steelheading. I like to alternate between catsup and BBq sauce on top, with a piece of American cheese. Pepper Jack cheese optional. Monster cookies added for when its gonna be all day, or risk of overnite. What are your "field rations ? steve b

Nothing that specific. Being a cyclist, I'll default to powerbars and the like when nothing else is available, but I frequently pack a sammich and a piece of fruit or some such. If I'm at camp, I'll grab whatever fits between to slices of bread.

Same here with whatever fits between the bread. Last time, Saturday, it was a couple of slices of sweet onion, dill pickle and mustard. Just right!

Opening morn: scrambled eggs with bacon, toast with home made peach jelly.
Afternoon: two hot links
Eve: ribeye (rare) potatoes with mushrooms and jalapenos cooked in foil on the gas grill

Too old to rough it, too fat to eat sandwiches.

Oh, if we're talking about food to eat back at camp, let me run you through the menu we had this weekend:

Friday Dinner: Kabobs (beef, onion, green pepper, shrooms) and green beans simmered with onions and salt pork.

Saturday Breakfast: "Nahunta Dry Sausage", fried eggs, and black coffee
Saturday Lunch: hot dogs (we came back to camp for lunch)
Saturday Dinner: More kabobs, more of the green beans with onion and salt pork, baked taters, and asparagus roasted in the dutch oven.

Sunday Breakfast: more dry sausage, potato/onion/bell pepper hash, fried eggs, black coffee.

This was a pedestrian menu compared to some we've had (in the past, we've had marinated rockfish, various venison dishes, turkey fried at camp, etc).

At 37, I'm the youngest guy there and nobody likes to "rough it" anymore. We sleep in on cots in canvas tents with wood stoves to keep us warm, frequently have wine with our meals, etc. We look like a bunch of grungy rednecks, but we live well.

Oh yeah, I brought and meant to cook apples in the dutch oven and sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar, but never got around to it.

This all went down in the middle of the national forest, not some fru fru club property.

typically we come back in from the morning hunt and have:
scrambled eggs, bacon, pan sausage, biscuits, milk. condiments include various jams/jellies, butter, chow-chow, and picante sauce.

lunch, leftover from previous night's supper or that morning's breakfast, if we're really feeling frisky, then chips and sandwiches.

supper, we eat like kings....... usually some sort of grilled steak, (on occasion we have chicken fried venison), a potato dish, salad, some sort of bean dish, and whatever else we can think of.

breakfast is my favorite though.

When stalking the deep woods I like to go high speed, low drag.

Odd. It seems I do most of that type of hunting solo.

I would have my camp membership revoked if I showed up with tofu ! In camp for one nights dinner, we have "Camp Spaghetti". This is in a 5-6 gal pot, with 3 or more meats. This yr was ground venison, venison sausage(hot Italian) and 3 pheasants, whole. It cooks ALL day. To be stirred by any passing. Garlic bread and wine to go with. Next day is vast quantities of steak, again, venison if its to be had. I ate 7 steaks, maybe 4-5 oz., or so. Burp. steve b

We usually doing eggs and what not in the morning, then we take sandwich items and snacks with us on the grizz for the days hunt. Dinner actually starts in the morning when we leave, we'll throw either steak, pork or chicken in the smoker and let it cook all day.

If it's more than 2 or 3 days, I'll take MREs and one of the tin coffee cans to boil the meal packets in. They're much better when they're heated through and boiling is a good way to accomplish this. When hunting caribou, we bring along a frying pan and a couple onions. I only eat fried liver on one of these hunting trips, and it comes from whatever caribou we harvest.

Otherwise, on a moose hunting trip, it's steak with garlic bread or canned vegetables, that sort of thing.

I like a large, traditional breakfast. Then, In my fanny pack I like to carry one of those Tuna fish packages that contain Tuna and crackers. A bottled water to drink.
Then for lunch I like more tuna, this time in the foil pack that is already made up into a Tuna salad. Just open it and spread it on a couple of pieces of bread.
Whats crazy is that I hate seafood but like Tuna.
