What do you guys eat when you go out either survival camping or just practicing your skills? Not just Mountain House. I mean like old-style food, like Bannock or rice. I just want to see what you guys carry with you.

Sure,
banock (in the form of biscuits) and rice with pork chops simmered in gravy, mixed green salad and some garlic roasted potatoes.
If I am still a little hungry I will go see what kind of pie they have at Crash's camp.
Most of us here are not into the starvation and self abuse thing.
In my younger days, back when I was a crazy kid of 51 years, I spent a summer on the AT eating Oodles of Noodles and home made beef jerky. I still can not look a noodle in the eye.
Second that....Days of bannock and pemmican are few...
Survival is what happens when thing go sideways.......
But hunting, fishing and hikeing day packs may include...Jerky, Keebler cheese and crackers, Cliff bars, Gorp, hard candy chewing gum...coffee and Kool Aid....
That's about it.
Camping out menu planned out.... steak, chops chicken, bacon, eggs hash brown, fixing for pies, bread and corn bread......canned food.
Let's see. At camp a couple of weeks ago we had.....
chili
sour cream (made from scratch in camp)
fresh baked bread
deep dish pizza
cinnamon buns
bacon
eggs
biscuits and gravy
strawberry short cake
pot roast w/roasted carrots and potatoes
oh.....and apple pie.

Actually survival camping and skill practice.... should include foraged flora and fauna...depending on:
Location \Season
Availability
Open seasons
Knowledge, indentation and food prep skills....
Otherwise it should just be called ......Camping Cookouts &BBQ
Survival camping in FL A pot and machete and the clothes on your back.
Heart of palm
Fish
Fresh water clams
Turtle
Termites
Grubs
Interest slacked off after the first one. Really slacked off to... uh... me on the third.
Survival isn't fun.
...wait for it.
..here it comes.

Not really a need to take a lot.
I certainly hope you are happy. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

So, I am either backpacking, or camping. Although I am half the age of most here, I am still not that young. When I go to the woods to "practice", it is my vacation. I take food that I want to eat. I also bring my kids. I want them to enjoy themselves, so I bring food for them that they really enjoy, even if it isn't healthy. At home I force them to eat food they don't like, but not when we go camping or backpacking.
Some of the things I like:
Summer Sausage
cheese.. mostly gouda
If camping, I like to make breakfast tacos in the dutch oven. Bacon, sausage, eggs, jalapenos, green peppers. Then put on tortilla that was heated on the oven lid, with cheese and salsa.
Also, homemade chili in the dutch oven for dinner.
For backpacking, I like to make my own freeze dried meals by buying the freeze dried ingredient's separately and then combining in a pot. I can't eat ramen anymore, but instant rice works wonderfully.
I have noticed that I feel better if I eat more animal fat and meat, then carbs. So more summer sausage and cheese then cliff bars.
OK how old are you and does your mother know you are on the computer?Quote:

Foraged means you found it.
All put together it means you found some local wild critters and plants to eat.
Use of such terms makes me proud to be part of the associated and well educated geezerhood!
