I'm all for as little hassle as possible when it comes to camp food.

I'm looking for ideas on meals that require little to no prep, perhaps purchased, and can be boiled in a bag at camp. I have a sealer and that is as much prep as I desire.

My ideas are as follows:

Wendy's chili

KFC

Chipotle burrito bowl

Pulled pork

Left over stews, hot dishes, soups, spaghetti

Hot dogs over campfire

Cottage cheese & fruit cups (obviously not boiled in bag)

I would prefer not be cooking food for the trip & would rather buy it pre-made and just heat at in the boil bags.

Ad your ideas to the list.

Anything that you make at home can be vacuum sealed and frozen then reheated in the bag when you are ready for it. I would also think all of your ideas above would be workable.

The real trick is keeping it frozen until you need or want it.

MRE's are a good choice but expensive.

I make soup and sauce ahead of time and freeze them in one gallon zip locks lying flat in the freezer. then I have a 12 X 12 X 1 in deep frozen disk. a few of those packed next to eachother last quite a while. RE your other ideas, bring some extra TP!

The freeze-dried meals sold at ourdoor stores are actually pretty good. There are several from Mountain House and others that I would recommend and there are a few I would never eat again. Its personal preference and of course by trial and error. Almost all of the typical "italian" meals are pretty good. I love the spaghetti, lasagna etc. I like the beef stew also.

All you need is boil water, add to pouch, let sit 5 minutes and eat.

Other things we use are stove top stuffing (or generic), pasta or rice dishes that don't require milk, using pouch chicken or tuna for meat, hamburger/chicken helpers also pepperoni is a safe meat to bring.

One of our favorite camp meals is hamburger helper lasagna with pepperoni's for the meat!!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
