Chili
Chili is an ideal meal to take for a hunting trip because you can fully cook and freeze it ahead of time. When you're ready to leave, you can fill several plastic containers with it and it defrosts easily over a propane grill or even a campfire. With its combination of beef and beans, it's a heavy, protein-rich meal that is satisfying after a long day of walking through the woods. Because it stores well, you can eat it several times during one excursion.
Breakfast Foods
A day of hunting should always begin with a big breakfast, as it provides hunters with protein for the day ahead. Before heading out, pack an ample supply of eggs, bacon, ham and bread. You can fry the eggs, bacon and ham over any source of heat, and bread is easy to toast over an open flame.
Snacks
Snacks aren't always conducive to every type of hunt, but they're handy when you're in need of a little nourishment between meals. Because refrigeration space is at a premium in a camper, it's best to take snacks that don't need to be kept cold. Beef jerky, granola bars, trail mix, protein bars and dried fruit are all ideal, as you can eat them quickly without taking a long pause from the hunt. Freeze-dried meals are also useful to carry in the event you get lost during your trip and have to spend a considerable length of time in the wilderness.
Other
Though a hunting trip might be not geared around balanced eating, it's important to eat as healthy a diet as possible. While meals such as chili and bacon and eggs will give you adequate protein, adding fruits and vegetables is ideal for snacks and for bulking up meals. Fresh fruit is handy as an accompaniment to your breakfast, while you can wrap baking potatoes in aluminum foil and cook them right in the coals of a fire.
