Yes, a camping tent is necessary equipment. But how about a portable grill? Perhaps not as necessary, but for most casual campers, it’s still some thing of a need. After all, what’s a warm camping tent without a warm fire outside, full with the uniquely fragrant aroma of juicy meat being roasted?

Particularly at the end of a hard day’s hike! Even though fun in itself, the great outdoors could undoubtedly be improved on with something hot and delicious!

Of course, this being the 21st Century, hot food doesn’t have to mean a real fire. There are now meals ready to eat (MRE) that utilize a chemical reaction in order to heat up food flamelessly! A great deal simpler to pack along with your camping tent than even the most portable of propane grills, to be sure.

Next to shelter, food is the other aspect of camping that probably most discourages individuals who are otherwise inclined to give the pastime a try. It sounds really nice, even romantic, to spend the evening outdoors, by a lake or on a mountaintop, but without adequate shelter or great food, all the little miseries of a life in the wild become magnified, especially for our modern sensibilities.

The MRE is the best thing ever invented in that regard, then. Portable grills and cookers are great, too, but nothing beats an MRE for convenience. A selection of flavors are obtainable, even in just the U.S. alone – take a look at those from other nations, reflecting the culinary customs of the locals!

Of course, fresh air really whets an appetite, so just about anything should taste great. But just keep in mind one thing: never take food~ into the tent! It will attract pests like insects and other vermin, not to mention a lot more serious creatures for instance bears and the like!
