A lot of people don't want to go to all the work or trouble of the full meal thing. and that's fine till you get a whiff of bacon form the pig camp, god bacon never tasted so good

I intend to bring mostly canned stuff, plenty of canned fruit too. Pears and peaches are my favorite. It keeps, no refrigeration needed. And if you don't eat it all, it isn't a problem to carry home.

The half-life should be listed on the side of the bags...

We used a couple of camp stoves (propane)

There's a big surplus shop in downtown Mpls. If it's still there. You could get a MRE to try out from there I think, Blue!
Or maybe some sa-weet looking jungle boots fer dancin' in!

Pig camp, Z?

[quote=giggles"]ooops, guess I oughta tell teh beau once and for all[/quote]

Poor beau... I know it must happen sometimes, but I still feel for anybody on either end of that situation.

I brought some canned stuff too, geekster and it was pretty handy. But the freash stuff won out, especially with those coolers keepin' the temps down low.

I had, on Sunday afternoon even, Godiva’s Choclate Raspberry Truffle ice cream. It was still in a semi-frozen state... kinda’ like real cold pudding. Oh my...

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:06 pm

That's some great info, Geekster! Canned fruit is now on my list!

Nope...not me... I think it was tony that said he made the shish ka bobs. Although I did bring my little propane grill too. That certainly would have worked.

I can't remember what there real camp name was but they had a pink pig theme going and the gifted bacon to passers by in the morning. A camp up the road from me gifted coffee in the morning It was a group of older men probably the youngest was in their mid-sixties all related in some way. Another camp close behind ours had a game show/interview thing going where you had to tell about your first orgasm, or was it your best,.. any way they gifted omelets to participants.

I had the little lunch pack plastic things of fruit, I found it nice to have smaller servings.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:13 pm

OOHH, Ice cream!
Ok, I have 5 MRE's...none of them have dates on them.

.....went to a rainbow gathering once out in the middle of nowhere, dirt poor (having relied on the grace of the food bank to feed us thank you kind souls), peaches in heavy syrup in a can was heaven on earth the particular day we opened them.

Black pussy cat.... he didn't *have* to go......just couldn't hang. I get real *hot* on occasion, perhaps too much for him to deal with. Such is my life....

Did you go riding around on your bike (did I ask that before? sorry) Did you carry water in bottles or hydropack? Backpack with food?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:16 pm

Guess we lost Punkette somewhere along the line......

This my man is the name of the game... until you smell some of the stuff that is cooking up there an MRE sounds fine, but then you have people that are doing gourmet and you suddenly want real food.

Then again there are places all over that offer some great dinners, breakfasts, you name it.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:19 pm

Punkette left awhile ago, pobably to read all the stuff we told her too. Or it might of been too many shananagins (spelling?)

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:20 pm

I really liked the hydropack and I could put extra sunscreen, dust mask, head strap light, and a granola bar or two, and extra dust masks,.... what can I say I had know Idea where I was going most of the time or know how long I might be there.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:21 pm

Maybe I'm overthinking this? Or I've read to many Survivalist books!
Ahhahaha!!

You people ROCK!

Only teasing... alluding to half-life of radio-active stuff that takes 10,000 years or so to decay.

(grabs Msky's shoulder and gives a reassuring and friendly jiggle)

gotcha"!!

Did you go riding around on your bike

walked and rode the bike too. I modified my bike with some old seats off of an ancient and rusting farm implement, so now it's a two seater!! double the fun... I was running a taxi service for the camp for a while. and I used water bottles... I, personally, found the hydropacks to be a bit uncomfortable, but others liked them. It was the biting down on the tube thing... seemed easier to just unscrew the bottle and drink deeply. I’m bringing it back this year but without the bladder... back pack only. Mix your h20 with “Emergen-C”... Good stuff.

Another drink?

Giggles, how 'bout you... need some more WATER?

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:25 pm

......in a semi-drunken haze sees the fine ass avitar of the nite owl, falls off her ball.....goes for another drink....looks around for the pussy cat.....

If you can get access to liquid nitrogen, it is great for making ice cream, some of the best and creamiest you have ever tasted. Makes little tiny ice crystals. Use real cream too ... mmmm

google for "liquid nitrogen ice cream"

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:28 pm

head strap light

That was one of the handiest things I had. I even use it around the house too. And when you traveling and don’t’ want to disturb others in the car... switch it to the red LEDs and presto... night-time reading with the glare.

All right maybe we should just tuck giggles into the never ending blanket for a while.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:29 pm

OH!! You SO got me!! hahahaha!!!
Yup, another drink please!
Oh, and someone(look to left) just came and MEOWed loudly in my ear!
I called a health store and the carry emergen-c. Not sure what flavor to get....mixed berry sounded good.
