Thanks Tom. It’s not much of a picture I guess but it’s reality. Dehydrated food with a background of dirt. Lol. I have fallen asleep before those things were ready to eat. I don’t even know what camp looks like in the daylight other than remembering setting it up. I’m certainly not gonna last long enough to preheat an oven or wash dishes.

I like your picture, Joe. When I first saw it, I thought it was a joke. I mistook it for a sack of rocks until I saw the dried carrots. It does not look very appetizing, but I see the point. It will keep body and soul together.

Chicken aka king Swede. It’s good! I also like the beef stew, beef, stroganoff, spaghetti with meat sauce, and some others. Have you ever tried a Mountain House meal? Peak Refuel is good too. I guess a lot of people might not consider our style of elk hunting fun. But killing elk is fun and it pays off. We run into town twice per hunt for a real meal and a beer and a little live music. But other than that it’s pedal to the metal.

The rest of the year I’m a gourmet chef.

I eat a Mountain House or other dried meal every once in a while. I have some on standby every season just in case, but they are a last resort. My brother who camps with me is no hunter, but he is a great cook. He gets half of any game I get, and we share all of the expenses. It really works out well for me and he likes the camp out. There is nothing like coming into camp at dark and having a fresh hot meal just about ready.
I agree with you take on hunting. In that we are alike. I just do not need to go to town during the season. A tree stand is a grind going 10 -12 hours per day after about three weeks. I do not call tree stand hunting "fun". It is deadly on elk if you are patient and persevere. I get to the fun part when I have finished packing out and get rested.

A non-Hunter to Cook in camp would be awesome. I would gladly pay for all kinds of great food. If there was someone there to prepare it. Stand hunting is definitely a grind. It’s harder than ground hunting in my opinion. You would be surprised how close town is to my camp

[Swede]

I know I am straying from the food subject here, but you would be amazed at how close I camp and hang my tree stands to a major recreation site. I can hear people playing, dogs barking, trucks and motorcycles etc. The elk don't seem to mind, and the people have no idea I am nearby sitting in my tree just waiting. I have killed quite a few elk there and no elk has ever run towards the recreation site. It appears they know better it.
