Answer 1

Wasn't sure if you are car camping or hiking in to a camping spot. If you are hiking in, weight is a consideration so take as much dehydrated food as possible (pasta, pancake mix, potato flakes, etc.). Of course that means you need a water supply near your campsite and probably a water filter to avoid illness. Get some small plastic bottles to put cooking oil, pancake syrup, and other necessary liquids in. If you are car camping, weight isn't as big a problem and you can have a cooler. Make sure everything you put in the cooler is cold before you put it in. I freeze as much as possible (pre-made chili, pasta sauce, etc.) before it goes in the cooler and it will stay safely cold for at least 2-3 days. My favorite camping food is pizza made with pita bread. Grill the pita in a little oil in the skillet (both sides til crisp and hot). Then you can top with anything - cooked meat, cheese, tomato slices, olives - really anything. Also good with lightly cooked sliced apples and cinnamon/sugar on top. Definitely take some fruit like apples or pears. Camping makes my appetite double and its great to have fruit to munch on between meals. Careful about collecting mushrooms - poisonous ones can look a lot like edible ones. Take some cornmeal or flour to coat your fish before frying. You could wrap potatoes in foil to put in the coals to bake. Please don't eat wild bird eggs. You might crack one open to find an incubated embryo but mainly you don't want to put more stress on the bird population. Where I live, it is against conservation laws to do so.

Leave the eggs alone. If the parent birds have abandoned them, they could easily be in some stage of rotten.

Take your food with you. Canned foods don't have to be refrigerated. A lot of foods come in pouches and boxes, and they take up less room than cans and weigh less. If you take six packs of soda or beer, take the cans out of the little plastic carrier goodies before you take off. That way you can pack the drinks in and around other things and take up less room. Unless you're going to get ice just about every day, your drinks won't be really cold. Cook with charcoal if you can. It's harder to light, but it burns cleaner and you have less danger of a spark setting fire to the woods. Don't forget to put all of your supplies in your vehicle at night, and don't put any in your sleeping area. Raccoons will move right in.

Don't forget to pack up all your trash and carry it out to the closest trash cans. You should do this often as raccoons will raid your trash and spread it all over the place.

Don't take anything but pictures. Don't leave anything but footprints.

Answer 3

you should bring a flinch along dont bring the bbq put rocks around the fire for saftey wood dries quickly so light the wood with flinch,yes you can eat bird eggs but cook them first on a rock tis is how to use the rock take about five medium sized rocks put the rocks in the fire but to be safe of not getting burned take a skillet along

Answer 4

well it depends on the stage the egg is in...some people find it a delicacy to eat an egg even after the bird has started to develop....me i would not enjoy that....and if you are going to the trouble to take a mini BBQ then why don't you take your own groceries....and plan your meals ahead of time, pack your coolers....take snacks to munch on between meals...i take it all...eggs, bacon, ham, potatoes, onions, bread, tortilla, steaks, pork chops, chicken...etc etc etc i even bake cakes on the camp fire with fruit......if you are going fishing...you could plan ahead of time to also take flour, cornmeal, just in case you catch some....good eating over the fire...take aluminum foil too.....anyway sounds fun to me!!!
