Camping and backpacking meals made easy

It’s summer and time to enjoy the outdoors! If you are camping or backpacking, you don’t want to carry a lot of heavy or perishable ingredients. And you don’t want to spend a lot of time doing the dishes either! Here we have put together a collection of easy one pot camping and backpacking meals that you can throw together in a hurry.

They are all prepared in under 10 minutes using a single pot, various Yumbini flavors, and a few easy to find, and easy to carry, additives.

See more about why Yumbini makes the Best Meals for Backpacking and Camping in this blog. And if you are looking for other backpacking or hiking gear, read more about our partnership with Garage Grown Gear.

We know you will want to scrape every bit of food up with your spoon. But when you are done, please be sure to clean your pot responsibly. This helpful article recommends the following procedure:

  • Find a spot 200 feet away from water sources.
  • Scrape your cookpot clean of any remaining food using your spoon.
  • Use a minimal amount of biodegradable soap* and warm water to scrub your pot clean.
  • If food scraps remain, strain them out as you dispose of the dishwater.
  • Leave No Trace recommends digging a cathole 6” deep to dispose of dishwater, and then burying it. If that’s not an option, you can broadcast (aka fling broadly) the water across a wide area.

*Biodegradable soap needs the microorganisms found in soils in order to break down. It won’t break down in lakes or streams, so don’t use it in any water source.

And of course please pack out your empty Yumbini pouches. Fortunately they only weigh 4 grams (less than the weight of a nickle)!

    I love this product..expect to take it on an airline trip from California to Vermont to use in my rented room the next morning for a quick breakfast! Would love one without garlic, too….not a big fan of garlic on my breath.
