Started cooking meals for our elk hunt this week. Cook them, place in a container and freeze then pop them out and vacuum pack them for the trip. Just put it in a pot of boiling water to reheat. Everything is packed for 2 meals for 2 people so we go through the menu one week then start over again the next week. So far we have spaghetti, pulled pork, jambalaya, pastalaya and today I am cooking turtle sauce piquante. The jambalaya and pastalaya are cooked to the point where the rice or pasta would be added and stop there. Freeze it like that then bring it to a boil when we are ready to eat and add the rice or pasta and cook until done. We may not kill anything but we will eat well at night lol.

Haha maybe so! With only 1 true meal a day may as well make it a good one, plus why eat MRE's when you don't have to lol.

I agree, it makes you a desperate hunter. Tomorrow I will cook chili and pre-cook hamburgers and then I will be done with all the cooking. |

We spike too far in to pack that kinda food!
It's Mountain House dried meals for us until we kill an elk. Then it's fresh tenderloins and mashed taters every night

We would be the same way if we were not camping at the truck but then again we have a 2-3 mile walk in every morning to get where we will be hunting and that far out each night. But the fresh tenderloins and mashed taters sounds good too, I just need to kill one first.

Mountain house meals are good. If they weren't so expensive, I'd stock the pantry!

Never tried one, kinda figured they would taste like a MRE. Either way we are camped at the truck so I will take the pastalaya etc anyday over a store bought meal in a packet lol.
