We are "primitive" camping this weekend wtih the Scouts.  They will hike to their campsites with their gear on Friday night in the dark.  They will cook breakfast and dinner with ultra light stoves.  We will be working on the 5 mile hike for younger Scouts and orienteering for all the Scouts and will be taking the Troop canoes and fishing gear.  Should be a good weekend.

Saturday AM will be instant oatmeal and then some sort of fruit. and probably some meat sticks and maybe cheese or breakfast bars.   Each patrol will be given a one or two gallon zip lock with enough food for the patrol for that meal and all the trash will go back in the same back to be thrown away at lunch and the bag will be refilled for dinner.  Normally, you would get all your food for a few days in one big bag and then at night you make a bear bag and hang the food out of reach of the animals.  However, at the campsite we are going to, the raccoons are very smart and have been spoiled by people feeding them and they know to either climb to a bear bag or chew the rope to get one down, so we will leave food locked up and distribute it between meals just to be safe.  This is how you eat at high adventure.  Packaged food that you can keep in a pocket and eat along the trail while you hike.  They will learn and practice the principles of leave not trace and will have to pack out all their garbage.   

Saturday lunch we are going to be away from camp after a hike so we planned to make sandwiches at the troop trailer by the water front and distribute dinner before the hike back to camp.  If this was true back country, it would be packaged meat of some sort, like tuna, or even spam, packaged cheese, some crackers, maybe yogurt raisins or a protein bar.  

Saturday dinner will be dehydrated meals like @dinneR pictured from Mountain House.  Selction will vary and the boys will probably do some horse trading.  Adults eat whatever is left after boys choose.  Cracker barrel on Saturday night will be more beef sticks and cheese maybe some cookies.

Sunday we will hike back out to the trailer at the trail head (only about a mile) and we will have Scouts Own Service by the waterfront and then breakfast will be grab and go.  Usually muffins, fruit, breakfast bars sort of thing.

I have about 12-15 more meals from Backer's Pantry already packed. I'm bringing nine of the blueberry peach crisp. It's my breakfast choice. It's basically oatmeal with cinnamon and fruit. 

I just pulled my bike out of storage. What a junk show. It needs a bath and tire sealant. Hopefully that is all.
