Green Camping Tent

- What food to pack for 10 day tent camping? firepit but if it rains then no firepit.No refrigeration whatsoever
So, what to do I pack for food if I am going on tent camping? no electricity. Have firepit but no firepit if it rains. Cannot chill food since ice does not remain frozen for 10 days. Please help. Is my option canned food? If so, what canned food should I buy to satisfy the food pyramid. I cannot even bring bread because sometime in the 10 days, it will be all green and unedible, right?. Trying to satisfy the food pyramid as well. Please help! Thanks Please know as well that I cannot buy food or any other items along the way.

A That really depends on whether you are going car camping or if you will have to carry it yourself from campsite to campsite. If you are going car camping you can bring any/all the canned food you want, bottled juices, canned meat, etc. If you are going backpacking stay away from canned as much as possible-it's way too heavy. Bring powdered milk to add to morning oatmeal, coffee, hot chocolate, cream of wheat-add it to everything! It's pretty gross reconstituted so add it to food; you get the nutrition and you can't even taste it. Hard cheese like charp cheddar will hold up a full 10 days without refrigeration(trust me I've done it). At night just jam it into a backpack full of extra clothes and stuff and let it chill outside, leave it in it's backpack and it will stay cool enough during the day as long you don't put it in the sun or a hot car or something. As for bread you could have oatmeal,crackers, cream of wheat, pancakes from a mix, pastas, and rice to name a few. I you just can't live without actaul bread Orowheat Country Potato Bread will last the whole trip. As for protein peanuts and peanut butter are your best friend;any kind of nuts really. Jerky, canned tuna(the only canned meat I will take backpacking), and summer sausage will hold up well for a few days once opened. Veggies: fresh fruits that will hold up are citrus, apples, cucumbers, potatoes.Just go to the grocery store and see what they have sitting out in the produce section; most of it isn't chilled. Canned tomato paste can be made into sauce for pasta(or just bring pasta cauce if weight is not an issue), most fruits and veggies dry very well and you can rehydrate them overnight or in boiling water and then add to meals. Remember to take snacks like granola bars and bring spices with you-something more than just salt and pepper. Those little single-serving packs of ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, soy sauce, etc are nice to have too.

- Fishing / camping in payson az / arizona - green valley lake?
I am going to go fishing in green valley lake in payson az. I'm wondering what's the best place to camp (can pitch tent, has at least a charcoal grill, if not maybe a fire ring too) near there.

A best is a value judgment; call the chamber of commerce or state parks department for current open status and costs.
