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. Plus other tips to make your trip a success!

These meals 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.

• Breakfast Beans and Rice with Poached Egg
• One Pot Chipotle Black Beans with Colorful Veggies
• One Pot Complete Curry
• One Pot Crunchy BBQ Beans
• One Pot Ultimate Bean and Rice Comfort Food

If you are camping or hiking as a group, here is a guide for making Yumbini for a crowd. See more about why Yumbini makes the Best Meals for Backpacking and Camping in this blog. And, if that’s not enough, for even MORE ways to make Yumbini (including cold soak), see here.

Read this great story of YouTuber Miranda Goes Outside and her adventures with Yumbini. Don’t miss her incredible combination of Yumbini and mashed potatoes! Miranda also describes how to make “leftover soup” to clean her cooking pot. If that doesn’t appeal to you, here is an alternate method from this helpful article:

• 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)!

Anyone who enjoys the outdoors has almost certainly come in contact with the Forest Service. Some changes are in store for this agency that could impact all of us. Read about it here and please do what you can to preserve our environment. You can learn more about how Yumbini is good for our planet on our ABOUT page.
