Anyone Else Pre-Cook ?

Wondering if anyone else precooks food for camping trips....

for long race weekends trips I'll pre-cook bacon & breakfast sausage (at home) and then use our FoodSaver to vacuum pack it in "daily" portions....then i just open one pack (per day) and warm it on the grill or in the microwave.

takes up less room, and its a lot mess / grease to deal with at "camp"

You bet. When we go horse camping my wife will pre-cook late afternoon meals (chili, taco soup, etc...) that she can pop in the crock pot and it's ready when we get back to camp. She can take a shower after the ride and we can eat and relax all evening without sweating over an oven or grill. It's also handy as we never know when there may be a pot luck where several people pool their food. When we camp we really just eat about 2 meals a day and snack in between so we don't normally pre-cook breakfast. We sleep in and slowly get up and I feed and water the horses while the wife cooks our breakfast and afterwards we ride for several hours.
