Please help me

So all you lovely people out there in LJ land... I need some help. Next week Wednesday and Thursday I'm going to go up into the Porcupine mountains and stay in a yurt for 2 nights. I believe I can cook over an open fire but it's just going to be me. I don't know what I'm going to take to eat. I'm asking you for help. A little about me: I'm not the

Trail mix, protein shakes/bars, sandwiches things of that notion.

I've had the protein bars...perhaps I'll pick up some protein shakes too.

We go camping and do most of the cooking over the fire while were there. Pretty much anything you do on a grill you can do on a fire. You've just got to watch a fire a little closer.

Usually the first night we do burgers and dogs (or steak if we're feeling sassy)

The next AM the cast iron skillet makes an appearance for Bacon and scrambled eggs. We do a whole pack of bacon, nothing better than bacon over a wood fire. Seriously. I suggest doing the bacon first, the skillet right on the coals, then take the whole thing off the fire and let the residual heat cook the eggs.

Lunches are usually cold cut sandwiches with some of that bacon on top.

Dinner again is the opposite of what we had the first night, burgers or dogs.

We do not eat very well while we're camping. Obviously. But I figure an occasional few days of bad-for-you food is OK. Especially since we're outside playing and hiking all day to burn up extra calories.

mmmm. bacon, I wonder how I can bring that for one person? I don't think I can indulge an entire pound of bacon over two days.

Once its cooked it keeps pretty well. If we have leftovers we just keep it in a zip lock bag and bring it home.

Or I could just take a couple of strips with!!! GRIN

Sandwiches and fruit and raw veggies are good easy things for camping. A couple cans of soup? Oatmeal and milk. I go for super simple when I'm camping or on a road trip.
