When preparing food for camping, hot dogs and beans are traditional camping classics. However, you can cook almost the same foods you do at home while off the grid! It just takes some planning and ensuring you have the right camping cookware on hand.
Space is a valuable resource when camping, so packing your gear strategically and being selective about what you bring is important. Thinking ahead is also going to help in planning any easy-to-forget items such as how to wash your dirty dishes. By taking the time before your adventure to prepare your camping gear and cookware, you’ll be able to cook up tasty meals in the wilderness!
How to Best Prepare for Cooking While Off Road Camping
Collapsible
Items that are able to collapse for easier storage ideal for overland cooking! Strainers, cups, and even pots and pans can be found in collapsible options. These items that can be morphed for storage and ‘popped out’ for use are great options for camping.
Multi-Purpose
Look for camping cookware that can serve more than one purpose. By doing this, you are freeing precious storage real estate and lessening your weight load. The more functions one item can do well, the better!
Stick to the Basics

There is no arguing that we live in a fast-paced, technology driven world — a world where getting back to nature, though a beautiful idea, is somewhat impractical, and logistically; practically impossible. For those of us with families, this idea becomes even more challenging. We want to give children their “wild-hood,” but how? Is there an app for that? No, but Off Grid Trailers does have a solution for that in the form of the Pando 2.0 — an
off-road trailer that allows you to access nature with no compromise of comfort or convenience to you or your family.
