Freezer Bag Cooking

A promising approach to lightweight, inexpensive, easy to prepare and readily available food for camping and backpacking. Dry ingredients are put in a heavy duty freezer bag and hot water is added. Sort of a do-it-yourself freeze-dried food pouch.

Hike, backpack, bike, paddle or do other outdoor activities for any amount of time and you will learn shortly that your options and imagination are seemingly limited when it comes to food to fuel your adventure and fun.  Traditional outdoor food and cookbooks are good, but they prescribe heavy ingredients, require long cooking times and consume a lot of fuel.  When you are in camp, you want to enjoy your time, not dread prep work and cleanup.  Commercial freeze dried foods are expensive and for many people, do not set well with their stomachs.

Freezer Bag Cooking™(FBC) style cooking changes the ideas of traditional outdoor food.  It adds in convenience, variety and speed of preparation and whirls them together with modern ingredients and philosophies of lightweight outdoor adventuring. 
The simplicity and portioning of FBC makes it also great for friends, couples, and families.  Each recipe can be split up and in its own bag.  Each person has a meal that they would like, just add water.  As our motto goes "Do not take what you do not like to eat."

Many people who have been introduced to the FBC style of cooking are shocked at how sensible FBC is, how good the food is and how easy it is to incorporate it into their existing outdoor menu.  Whether you want to dabble or like to be obsessive and manage details, FBC style cooking can be your ticket to better eating and enjoying your outdoor experience more.
