Food is good

[psy-ops]

unfortunately when I am backpacking I bring freezedried camp food. mostly fart food!

sometimes an mre for the chicklets.

I love tea usually green.

when my wife and I go car camping we do it up. I make a pasta dish and polenta cheeses.

In S. Fl in some coastal areas we have the dreaded curly-tail, a fat, pug-nosed lizard, reddish in color, and grow up to around ten inches(at least, that's the biggest I've seen, hard to tell accurate loa, what with the curly tail), and damned good eating, if you can chill one. They're little aligators as far as I'm concerned.

I hope you meant "kill" one?!

Snickersnee, are you sure you don't go by the name of Vampire Gerbil on other forums?!

I mean no insult (or particular praise for that matter), but was nearly as amused (at times

?) by reading your post as I normally am reading VG's.

Generally, all I carry is freeze dried crap. But, I generally am not on a survival mission, but a camping (backpacking) trip.

Definatley oatmeal. Cause it tastes good and it looks cool when a stray glob gets stuck in your beard and you don't find it till someone brings it to your attention a week later when you come out of the bush

Oh yeah, it's also good for your pooper

Take some chopped veggitables, meat, rice, potatoes and spices. Wrap it all in some heavy duty aluminum foil and put it in the coals. After 30 min you have stir fry.

The varriations are endless. The only limitation is the meat (ie: chicken has to be eaten the first night but good sausage will last for months). All the chopping and wraping can be done at home so its ready to cook when you need it.

This way I get good food with very little hassle (Eat it right out of the foil, no dishes to clean and all you have to pack out is a little ball of foil).

Also here is a desert that will kill you. Slice a bannanna lengthwise (dont cut it all the way through, you want to end up with kind of a 'cannoe' shape, also leave the skin on). Stuff the inside with equall parts marshmellows and chocolate chips. Wrap in aluminum foil and put in the fire for 15 min. Peal back the foil and skin and you have a gooey sugary mess that will keep your kids up all night. This is a good alternative to the famous Smore

Hey Josh, I'm going camping next weekend (assuming something doesn't pop up betwixt now and then) so I'll give your banana a try.

"chill" is a word we used to use synominously with "kill", in a streetfighting context. It relates to a body found hours after death that's cold to the touch.

The reason I used it here is because these lizards are damned tough little buggers, and I was honoring their dead in a way.
