Camping Food Review – Low-cost grocery store options – John Gentry

These days costs can be an issue and it’s important to keep things in balance. I do find and use low-cost solutions from Alberson, Safeway, Trader Joe’s or you’re a store of choice. Since these products can last in the outdoors and can be used for several reasons such as long-term storage (Prepping) or for natural disaster survival. I will do more videos on this subject and try to help people prepare for camping, hiking, or for other reasons that have similar uses.

Here so one of the things I like to do. I like to get tuna and these little nice packets they have they stay up well you know they’re protected from the elements, and it’s a pretty easy low carbohydrate with high protein. Another item I like to have on hand is a little mayonnaise. With it, you can’t go wrong, and with “Best foods” little bottles can be handy. So make sure to grab one while they’re sitting on the shelf.

So if you’re driving around your car, and you’re going on a little picnic or whatever your activity might be, this is a great idea and items to have on hand. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, and another item that I like to get is these little cans of “Vienna Sausages”. There are several different flavors to choose from they’re small it’s just a nice little easy snack kind of varies the diet they’re very low in carbs as well and they’re not too bad in calories I mean it’s like just let’s see 240 calories which you know even.

If you’re walking around a lot or a little consider getting some cheese sticks. I also get a certain kind of cheese because some cheese is lower than carbohydrates than others. One of them is goulda and I get these at Albertsons. I also get some swiss cheese it’s also very low in carbs I mean these two particular kinds of cheese they’re like it’s like zero carbs and some of you may know that I go in and out of the keto diet.

That’s kind of how I try to keep my weight down also uh jack links have zero sugar um beef jerky and it’s got some carbs in it so it’s like one carb per container I mean that’s not bad and sometimes I need a snack and these are my two favorite brands this is kind of a low carb chip replacement.

Pork rinds and it is let’s see there are eight servings in the bag and so it’s like eight carbs for the whole bag so hold back that’s pretty good so that’s some examples of some of the things obviously I bring some bottled water um there are a few other items from time to time that I get and I think I’ll make another video when I get some other items so until next time please follow us at exploretraveler.com I will continue to add these videos to the camping food article and so everything will be in one place so I’ll have a nice variety of supplies for you to consider thank you travel on

See more of our Alaska content here https://exploretraveler.com/alaska-travel-and-moving-faq/

We have also begun a new travel guide for Alaska using our own content. Alaska businesses do change but from an adventure travel standpoint, nature stays fairly stable there but with some warming changes in the north. Our new guide has videos showing whats it’s like to travel the Alaska ferry system AKA the Marine highway. The link here: https://exploretraveler.com/alaska_travel_and_moving_faq/ will give you an edge since everything is real from our own perspective. We have extensive articles and videos showing business and areas of Denali State Park and our extensive photograph collection will also give you an idea of what to expect. Flying to remote locations from Juneau is also common and here is a link to my flights in small aircraft that I did manage to capture from the cockpit of the plane here: https://youtu.be/WGxzxDctk74 Juneau is the gateway to the Alaska Southeast and short flight to Skagway, Haines or more can be taken for these short flights. The Ferry ride is also available and we like to just walk on and walk off into Skagway since it’s a short walk to the hotels downtown. In Juneau, we recommend the 4 points by Sheraton (Marriott Owned now). In Skagway we like Sgt. Preston’s and it’s simple, clean, warm, and roomy enough. It’s also a short walk to food and the old Skagway experience year around. Winters are milder and we like unique photography during this time.

Santa Fe National Forest Black Canyon campground By John Gentry

John Gentry with ExploreTraveler gives some details on exploring a specific campground in the Sante Fe National Forest. It’s one of those lower-cost campgrounds that is pretty nice, and worth staying at. If you have the access pass it’s then half price and will run you about $5 – $6 dollars per day. Watch the video to learn some on-the-ground insights and make sure to subscribe for all of the content updates.

Black Canyon campground is one of the more popular campgrounds on the Santa Fe National Forest and offers the most amenities of any of the campgrounds in the Espanola Ranger District. There are 36 units for cars and RVs, 6 walk-in units for tent camping only, Picnic tables and grills, a Campground host on-site, Vaulted toilets, and several Double sites to accommodate a maximum of 16 people. There is a very nice hiking trail that leaves the back of the campground and makes a loop of about a mile, returning to the campground. If not staying in the campground, those using the trail should park outside the main gate and walk-in. Trailhead parking is available in the lot near the campground entrance. There is no electricity available, and no RV dump station on site. A dump station is available nearby for a nominal fee right next door at Hyde Memorial State Park, a part of the NM State Park system. There are additional recreation opportunities along NM 475, both above and below Black Canyon Campground, including hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and in the winter, both nordic and alpine skiing.

Directions: Eight miles from downtown Santa Fe on NM 475. Take Bishop*s Lodge Road to Artist Road, which will turn into NM 475, also known as Hyde Park Road.

Camping Food Review – Mountain House Biscuits and Gravy Test

At one of my off-grid camping locations, I give my latest camping food review. These reviews are always on our website at ExploreTraveler.com and the information to find the full list of reviews is below.

When I review a meal I take into consideration several things like taste, convenience, ability to rehydrate, and how close it tastes like the real thing.
