I love to go camping. Recently, I went with my mom and her husband and she was complaining about how she over-packs in terms
of food. So I looked around and found some camper-friendly foods, requiring little to no refrigeration and can be heated
by a propane stove alone. Here are some staples, though you certainly wouldn't want to bring ALL of these along each time
you camp! Thanks to allrecipes.com for their valuable insights.
