Buckwheat (half cup), red lentils (half cup), jerky broken up into bits, seasoning, two or two and a half cups of water. The combination of buckwheat and lentils is seriously belly busting but packs very lightly and with very little bulk in the pack. Add the meat and it's really tasty!

Even without soaking, they'll cook in about 40 minutes. If you soak them first, which doesn't even take that long, maybe an hour, then they cook in 20-30 minutes. I'm talking about the largish green lentils. I'd bet split little red lentils cook super fast.I've never used buckwheat, but DO cook my lentils with rice, and yeah, super filling, super cheap, and lightweight. Because of that shorter cook-time, I've never really been sure why lentils aren't loved more by the survivalist/prepper type folks. Food with less cook time so less fuel resources required to cook? Seems like a win to me. Plus, you know, you get to eat sooner.
I'm trying to work out a way to lightly pack baked beans. The cans make it rather bulky and heavy but it's such a great outdoors food. Baked beans, slice in hot dogs, add sachet of BBQ sauce, great outdoors meal!

I've never been to Isreal,I've always imagined it hot and dry - would air drying work for jerky ?
I would love to also hear people’s coffee routine while camping. How do you brew it/ grind the beans. In my 20’s when I used to go camping a few times a month, for me food prep was more about being outdoors and a quick meal. My meals were good but it was about making them quick and on the cheap. Now that I unfortunately dont go anymore, due to mostly having small kids and no time, I’ve really improved my cooking skills and appreciate cooking outside. I learned how to make gourmet meals and appreciate the whole process. To get back to coffee I think that I would hand grind the beans at home for the trip and take a pour over cup or my aero press. Back in the day it was a matter of either using instant or boiling Folgers in hot water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt's kind of expensive but the Starbucks Via instant coffees are supposed to be REALLY good.When I was camping, I'd just tie some coffee grounds into coffee filters, kind of making big teabag type things, one for every morning. I wasn't going to mess with grinding on the trail, and back then, I had never heard of coffee presses. I'd just pour boiling water into my cup, over the grounds in the filter, let it soak for a bit and remove the bag and enjoy. I'd always go overboard with the amount of grounds, so even a not-terribly-long soak got me some serious coffee.

Where you get those Dave ? I've never noticed them in the shops here
