  • Tinfoil, Tripods, and a Woody

    Nick breaks down some of his favorite dinner meal dishes to make while camping. Along with some old school equipment that has gotten a modern twist.

    Foil Dinners are a favorite of the Huntavore Family. Either burger or diced roasts, diced potatoes, diced onions, baby carrots, corn, haven't tried halved Brussels sprouts but I bet those are good. Salt, pepper, and several tablespoons of butter (oil works, but I find not as well). Pro Tip: double foil, alternate seam sides, as close to coals as possible.

    Nick’s goto piece of equipment for fire cooking is the tripod. More versatile than swivels, and lighter than steel fire benches. Quick adjustments, for slow all day cooking, too hot fast searing.
