Having returned from a two week to trip to southern Utah, I thought that I would start a discussion on touring and packing for eating while camping.
Generally, if you have a motorcycle you can ride to food. No need to pack anything.
There are exceptions. Camping at Devils Garden CG in Arches NP. It is a 40 - 50 mile rt to eat in Moab with no stores or restaurants in the park. Also throws a damper on Happy Hour before dinner. The nearest Walmart to Bryce Canyon NP is 90 minutes away. Tropic UT is about 10 miles and there is a camp store near the Bryce CGs. This was my approach to occasionally eating hot meal in camp.
I thought the Mountain House Homestyle Turkey Dinner was exceptionally tasty. Like a bowl of stuffing with turkey chunks and veggies. The bag contains two servings (who are they kidding?). Rip the top off, add 10 oz of boiling water, stir and seal for 5 mins, stir again and reseal for 4 mins. Eat out of the bag when it cools enough. Hot meal in 15 minutes. Cleanup is discard the pouch and clean the spoon. Starbucks individual powered coffee packs for a post dinner coffee. Adding a small bottle of Kahlua or Baileys is optional.
Cheap Lightweight Stove (fits in orange case then in Kettle) ($8 and up, they are all over)
Small Kettle to Boil water (I have an Optimus. Water boils fast)
16 Oz water bottle to measure water to put in kettle
Long spork to eat freeze dried meals out of bag
16 oz Hot/Cold Thermal Cup (Hot and Cold drinks)
Different view for scale.
