1.Plan detailed menus using common ingredients to reduce your
ingredient list and lighten your load.

2.Be organized.  Pack food according to its intended use.  Airtight
containers and sealable plastic bags make useful tools that can be
recycled and used for many other campsite purposes.

3.Dry mixes for pancakes, waffles, muffins, dry rubs, and herb
mixtures can be measured and packed in portions required for
each recipe.  Later, mix with water at the campsite or use to
season the catch of the day.

4.Cool it!  Keep all perishables in an ice chest with a tight-fitting lid. Items like juice, milk, and water can be stored in plastic containers and frozen. This will help maintain a cold temperature in the cooler. Double-wrap all meats in plastic, label the packages, and be sure they are frozen before being tucked into the cooler.

5.Keep eggs fresh by storing them in a cooler.  Turn them large end up in the carton - this keeps their air cell in place and helps prolong freshness.

6.Don't squash baked goods.  Place loaves of bread in a plastic or
cardboard container.
