>>821429>Also has anyone had experience bringing eggs on a trip like this? Are they good to not be refrigerated for so long?Eggs will stay fresh at room temp for about a week. Buy farm eggs from roadside stand and they'll be sure to be good. I bring them on most trips- 2 per person per day- either raw or hardboiled. They're high protein and fat per ounce and generally a great item to have, don't let the fragility aspect dissuade you.
Another great breakfast item.... SPAM. It is disgusting cold from a can but when you slice it into 1/2" thick slabs and sear them over an open fire it is a thing of beauty. My gf thought it was disgusting until trying it, now she raves about it. Definitely bring 1 Spam container per 3 people per day.
My other go-to breakfast items are oatmeal, with dried cranberries and roasted almonds. Take packets or just a few ziplock baggies of the quick oatmeal kine. Boil some water and pout it onto the oatmeal in separate bowls, or make a big batch in a pot. Add the cranberries, nuts and some brown sugar and you're good. It's delicious. And along with a couple eggs plus a slice of spam you have an amazing breakfast.
Very important additions: evaporated milk, butter (no it won't spoil at room temp, like the eggs), brown sugar, salt.
For coffee I like individual packets of Folgers Columbian instant coffee. Evaporated milk and sugar are key here. It is almost as good as regular coffee at home. Almost.
That's my take on camping breakfast. It is seriously THE most important meal to plan for. Nothing is better than a convenient, hot, delicious breakfast when you're freezing your ass off at 6AM innawoods. It makes the whole trip infinitely more enjoyable.
pic unrelated, that's dinner.
