Camp coffee in a on-the-stove old school percolator!! Omg, best smell in the world, waking up to that coffee perking. Found one at a yard sale a couple weeks ago and have been making it at home! Lol.
We always brought a stove, at least a 2 burner because you want a way to make your eggs and bacon that’s quick.
I love Dutch oven cooking and do a lot of it at home so I’d bring those too, but that’s me.
Here’s another vote for prepping everything. Young kids means plenty of snacks too so make sure you bring some stuff like sliced oranges or apples as I’m sure you don’t only want them hitting chips and cookies all the time. Maybe some cheese sticks, nuts and cut up lunch meat too.
One thing I brought were those “add water and simmer” rice or pasta side dishes to round out a meal. They are dead simple, pack flat, don’t require prep and kids typically like them.
I freeze meat in the marinade so as it thaws, it marinated, like teriyaki pork chops or chicken.
I typically packed a regular cold cooler and a “cold cold cooler”. Regular cold is packed with ice and frozen stuff but cold cold is packed with frozen and dry ice. I’m favoring dry ice these days when I take a long drive to an outdoor concert because of the lack of leaking water and the fact that it just keeps stuff colder. Easier to deal with if you buy things on the road to add to the cooler too. The dry ice comes packed in a plastic bag, I just buffer it with a paper grocery bag and it’s all good.
Have a great trip and make sure to upload some pics!!
