Bulgogi, traditionally enjoyed with rice or as lettuce wraps, is to Koreans what phở is to the Vietnamese, matzo ball soup to the Jewish, the taco is to the Mexicans, and spaghetti and meatballs are to Italian-Americans. It’s the single Korean dish that has transcended far beyond its humble, and also some royal roots. Everyone has their own rendition of this sweet and savory meat dish, there’s no single “this is it” recipe. It’s even been popularized by Korean-American chef and restaurateur, Roy Choi, when he opened up the Kogi BBQ Taco truck in Los Angeles where he combined the City of Angel’s two favorite foods, Mexican and Korean, together into a taco. And now, you too can enjoy this unique blend of cultures at camp.

Backpacking friendly Apple Cider Chai: It Ain't FALL Camping Without THIS

Ordering a chai at a coffee shop usually amounts to about $5 of disappointment. They’re normally 98% milk with just barely a dash of spiced tea flavor.

Cold Camping Beverage: Backpacking friendly Mulled Wine

The leaves start changing color, the air get just a little crispier at night, and when the chill penetrates into your thin jacket a little deeper, you know it’s fall —it’s finally puffy time.

Just like how the pumpkin spice latte (PSL) is what coffee is for the fall season, mulled wine is what camping is for the fall season. It’s the PSL of chilly camping beverages.

And, let’s be real, PSLs are freaking delicious.

How to make TikTok BAKED FETA PASTA at CAMP

This dish has become a staple of ours when we’re on the traveling on the road. It’s incredibly simple to prep, ingredients are easy, and readily available at pretty much any grocery story, and well, its delicious. Contrary to the viral TikTok videos, you don’t need to bake this. Baking only double caramelizes the feta cheese and makes it “social media friendly”. I mean, who doesn’t like looking at some perfectly browned cheese?

Here’s my version of this (now) iconic dish and how, very easily, camp-ify it.

Camp Indian-inspired Chickpea Curry

One of the many misconceptions about Indian curries is the idea that they’re stews which take a very long time to simmer away. But in reality, they’re quite the opposite! From start to finish, you can be done and eating in 20 minutes. A little bit of extra-ness goes a long way when you’re on the road…w

Food has this crazy way of transporting you back instantly to a specific moment in time. Memories of the place you were at. Memories of the people with you. Memories of the flavors. Memories of the smells. Memories of your reaction to a first taste….
