I found some things I think you might like for camping and travel. All of these are lightweight, time saving and space saving. I'll show you some healthy food options that are time saving and space saving. I'll also give you a gadget tour of my cooking options and lights.
I am not sponsored on any of these items and I paid full price so this is just my honest opinion of these, but I do have Amazon Affiliate links below.

Thanks so much, Cheryl! 😊
What a lot of good finds! Thanks for the ideas. I have those triangular motion detectors around my yard so that if I have to go out at night, they go on when I step out the door. If they are on, I open the door cautiously, or not at all, and just wait inside. I want to see how much you like the dried foods. I've thought about them.

I love them. I'm going to order the soup and chili package next. 🙂
I also have a hand cranked weather radio/ all the same features. Purchased after unknowingly camping in the middle of a tornado warning. I didn't have cell service, primitive camping in the Apalachicola Forest. Lesson learned 🔥

Wow! This video contains so much beauty and practical products. Thank you so much. Checked out Harmony House... unbelievable. I truly had no idea there was such variety in dehydrated food! Will stock up!
We too use Harmony House items - both for backpacking and road travel - we have become huge fans of shelf sustainable things in the van. During our cross country road trip last year we learned that the more things that can stay in the cabinet rather than the fridge, the better! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

Frozen food is great. Fruits and vegetables are frozen immediately after picking, no nutrients lost. Fresh fruits and vegetables are frequently sprayed and coated before traveling long distances in refrigerated trucks to the local market.

So true, frozen food is great, unless you're traveling and don't have reliable refrigeration. 🙂
