*********UPDATE IN PROGRESS....PLEASE EXCUSE OUR DUST WHILE WE UPDATE THIS THREAD....CARRY ON**********************


  :D Greetings! :D





We encourage creativity; if you can think of it, post up and we'll figure out a way to make it...

Participation in this is not mandatory; do not get me wrong.

If you do not want to partake, that is ok by me and the group won't bat an eye-lash....but, your tummy might hold it against you!!

For now, I just want ideas....what are you good at making?  Could you make it hundreds of miles out in the middle of nowhere?


We usually have plenty of burners/cooking surfaces available, with fuel to go around.....and we even have access to a convection oven for all of your baking needs!!!!  Not kidding!

Cannot wait for this!!! I'm hungry already!!!

I can make beef stew in the Dutch oven that will serve 7 easily. If someone else has a large oven they can bring I'll supply the vittles and do the work so 14 can easily be fed. I can do trail beans as a side for a dinner and/or breakfast.

I'll do Carne Asada on night 1.
    If you don't want to bring anything, kick in a 2-3 lb share and I'll haul it in.
    The Asada runs about $6/lb and has made an appearance on a few SCCX runs.
    I'll kick it off with 3lbs.

We can also do chicken if there is enough interest.

I have no specific specialty, as it has been a long time since I've camped.  So, I will contribute to a mass meal(s).  How much meat will we need to feed the group?  I'll kick in 3 more lbs, and I'll contribute on other meals, as they pop up.

Post by: JFanaselle on December 22, 2015, 07:41:12 PM
I'll bring a hefty portion of Bacon of the Gods, enough for both Saturday and Sunday morning. I'll also bring the 3 burner stove and 38" griddle for the bacon to cook on, but I'll need a chef to handle that (I always end up burning it or undercooking it). Then we can use another griddle (Steve's or John's?) for the pancakes.

I'll kick in the chicken and tortillas.  This time lets try to keep them away from the local critters.  I'm sure the Big Bear squirrels appreciated the homemade corn tortillas. ;)

Joe - can we contribute to more bacon via cash?  And both Mike and I are excellent bacon cookers...... :D :D

You certainly can if you'd like, and I'll absolutely agree with the bacon-cooking statement, as I experienced that greatness first hand in DV. So the griddle shall be yours! :)

The pack that I pick up from Sam's Club (and was planning to bring on this trip) is is 3.5 lbs. The pack that I brought to DV was only a pound, so I was planning to bring about 4 times as much. 30ish people x 2 breakfasts / 3.5 lbs of bacon = 2 to 4 slices per person per morning, but there's NEVER a such thing as too much bacon! :D (If you're like me, you were thinking "only 4 slices each!?!?")

Trouble is, should I just get a complete second pack and take it up to 7 lbs? I wouldn't want to see it go to waste. I might be able to track down some more 1 lb. packs at Winco if we want to bump it up to about 5.5 lbs?

No worries xxSVxx.  We'll make sure there is plenty o' bacon!  ;)

I think 3.5 lbs per breakfast......I've never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever seen left over bacon.  And if there is any, bacon makes an awesome trail snack.....just saying  O0

We'll spring for the second pack (and cook it on your awesome griddle) if you're willing to pick it up.   :D

Post by: RikRong on March 03, 2016, 01:41:15 PM
I'll re-hash..

I'll contribute to Toro's carne asada cooking on the first night and contribute 3lbs of meat.  I can also kick-in/purchase supplies for the community breakfasts or dinner on the second night.  It's been a long time since I've camped and I don't want to try to cook for a large group until I can re-hone my skills, and I have no particular specialty that I can contribute.

edit:  Back in the day when I camped with my dad and brothers, we always did a campfire stew; meat, carrots, potatoes, celery, seasoning, etc. in individual foil packages or sometimes in one big package cooked directly on the coals.  The foil method would be hard to do with a large group, but if someone has a Dutch oven we might be able to do something similar.

I'm in for breakfast again.  Pancakes and eggs to order.  If you want scrambled eggs bring stuff to blend in, like onions, peppers or whatever you like.  If you really like eggs, bring a dozen and we'll see how many get scrambled on the trail :o   If you like any syrup other than maple, bring enough to share.  If I get enough chatter here, French Toast could also happen lol
FYI, I have Custom Modified Yota's old grill to handle 300% more pancakes >:D

I'm still in for lots and lots of bacon (are we still doing 2 breakfasts?). I will pick up one giant pound pack and I believe Mike and Barb wanted me to pick up a second pack so we'll do one pack Saturday morning and the other Sunday morning. I'm also bringing my 3 burner camp chef stove and 38" griddle to cook the bacon on (hopefully Mike and Barb are still willing to be the bacon chefs, because their bacon cooking skills are amazing!) along with a 10 pound propane tank, and the setup can be used for dinners as well if we need.

I can make enough stew in my oven to serve about 8 people. I can handle everything for it that way it's easier, just need a fire going to be able to use the coals for the oven. My Dad is hinting at wanting to go along again so if that's true I'll have him make up a large pot of beans and some tortillas to go with the Ranchera Especial night.

Thanks for keeping this all under control Christiaan. It's not an easy task to coordinate multiple mass-feedings of so many hungry people, and I commend your efforts. :)

My only update is that there will be plenty of bacon for two breakfasts, so we should update Sunday morning to include breakfast as well. I know traditionally, we haven't done a group breakfast on the final morning but I'll be honest when I say that never made  much sense to me. Breakfast is just as important on Sunday morning as it is Saturday morning, and all of the cooking equipment will still be set up from the night before.

 Joe, while I think it's a lot of fun to feed the masses on the last morning it becomes a little difficult for those doing the work. They are generally the first ones up preparing breakfast. After everyone's eats they are the ones cleaning then have to pack up their camp. While some kick in to help there is still a portion of folks that just go pack their camp then hang out and wait until everyone is ready to leave. The last morning folks are pretty tired by the end of the trip and I think it's a lot of stress placed on them to cook and clean. It's a lot of fun to cook for folks and volunteering at home to do it is great but when you are out there it becomes work and can be a lot of it. If I can throw my .02 in the last morning should be fend for yourselves or get together with a buddy and work out your own meal schedule.

Post by: JFanaselle on March 20, 2016, 12:22:54 AM
Well in that case, we'll only need one large pack of bacon. PainRoller - do you just want to split the cost of a single pack with me then? I'll wait until the Saturday night meal is decided upon and offer to chip in something for that night as well, since half a pack of bacon isn't much of a contribution.  :-\

Well, let me confer with the powers that be about this before we consider it done.  We might just instill a mandatory 'hey, kick back and have breakfast and then help us clean it up so we're not alone in packing up our crap' issue.  Who knows.  People never cease to surprise me.

How about, you bring some pit-stop snacks?  We happen to stop a bit, and, for me anyway, I'd like to just grab something and shove it down while we're taking pictures or checking stuff out, etc.

I always want to bring stuff like that, but I never remember to....so I end up not eating anything except our designated meal stops....which leaves me a little hangry at times

Something along the lines of maybe those big bags of individual bags of chips....like that?  Would you be comfortable doing that?

If I end up bringing snacks, which is probably a good idea, they will be non-perishable items.  Granola bars, etc.

I do have a fridge, but space is limited in the 43qt.  If I end up picking up the 63qt by the trip, then maybe I can haul beer and carrots or whatever. 

BTW, you guys should buy your own edgestar fridges.  Openboxdirect has them fairly regularly for pretty cheap.  Way cheaper than the ARB ones.

Well in that case, we'll only need one large pack of bacon. PainRoller - do you just want to split the cost of a single pack with me then? I'll wait until the Saturday night meal is decided upon and offer to chip in something for that night as well, since half a pack of bacon isn't much of a contribution.  :-\

Anyone who doesn't know how to contribute, send me $20 for Carne Carne asada and I'll haul it in.


Joe, If you still want to bring bacon, we are down with chipping in $20 for more Carne...... :D

And we can help cook, prep, whatever.... O0

Ok, so I'll still bring the bacon, and my 38" camp chef 3-burner and 38" griddle for the bacon (and a propane tank to run it).

Looks like were going to have more people going since the permit was approved for 20 vehicles. That might be near 40 people so some adjustments in food may be called for. I was thinking I would make my stew on the second night and spoke with Jayrat and he's in as well. My Dutch oven will make enough for about 8 with hearty servings. I'm thinking some thorough planning will need to be going into the meals with a lot of volunteers for things like getting a fire going, helping setup and clean up so the camp chefs don't get their backsides handed to them.

I can double my original contribution of 3lbs of carne asada to 6. Also, since I won't be cooking,  I'll help make fire and clean up after.

Since I was just added to the list, I'm trying to think of what I could contribute.  Since it sounds like food is on point, would it help if I contributed by bringing more firewood bundles?  I'm open for any suggestions.

Dinner Saturday night:

Trail Pizza


Does this mean I am bringing the oven?

FYI, by my count we have 42 persons, so keep that in mind when thinking of portions.  I think having 2 or more different offerings for each meal will make sure that no one person has to provide for 40+.  If we have 3 different options for each meal, with enough to feed 15 people each, we should be covered.

I will bring a few cans of refried beans and a pot to cook in, I will also bring 40 tortillas if you think that is enough??

As for the spaghetti sauce, what type? I am fond of the Classico Fire roasted tomato and Garlic. Is 4 jars enough? If anyone has a better recommendations, let me know. I will also bring a few good sized chunks of Parmigiano-reggiano and a mircoplane to grate it fresh as that is the only way to have it. I will have a 2 burner Partner stove, and my usual cookfare (10" DO, a few nonstick pots/ fry pans, utensils, etc), if there is anything anyone needs me to bring extra?

And can donate $40 to toro for everything. Do you want the cash there, or paypal now?

If there is anything else that I should bring, let me know.

Hi Trail

My name is Christiaan...thx for posting up.

Trail pizza is a maybe at this time; we're figuring out if it's feasible or now; might have to do trail taquitos instead.

Gimme a minute to figure out something we can ask you to bring aside from sketti stuffs...

Thanks!!

Hey Woody

If you don't mind, could you bring 3 tri-tips?  We're up to 20 rigs, so I'm expecting close to 50 or so mouths to feed

I'm going to kick in $20 toward that, and I'm sure we'll find a few more people to do the same

I can cover the rest of the items for Friday night:

Corn tortillas <1>
Bag of shredded cheese <1>
plus plates, forks, and napkins. Do we think we'll need another stove on the trail? I have my two burner stove that is ready to go. And if there is any extra money needed for carne asada/steaks, I can gladly chip in for them.

And a big thank you to Christiaan for getting this organized!

Really dumb question, is somebody bringing a large enough grill to cook three large tri-tips?  I only have a little booger that will take close to an hour to cook one.

No such thing as a dumb question, and it's a rather good one, to be honest.

As it stands, I have 100% confidence we'll find a grill for your tri tips.

xxSvxx and Toro - confirming that you're updating the food list per my April 1st post. I'm bringing food for Saturday evening.
What is needed for Sat. lunch?

*********UPDATE IN PROGRESS....PLEASE EXCUSE OUR DUST WHILE WE UPDATE THIS THREAD....CARRY ON**********************


  :D Greetings! :D





We encourage creativity; if you can think of it, post up and we'll figure out a way to make it...

Participation in this is not mandatory; do not get me wrong.

If you do not want to partake, that is ok by me and the group won't bat an eye-lash....but, your tummy might hold it against you!!

For now, I just want ideas....what are you good at making?  Could you make it hundreds of miles out in the middle of nowhere?


We usually have plenty of burners/cooking surfaces available, with fuel to go around.....and we even have access to a convection oven for all of your baking needs!!!!  Not kidding!

Cannot wait for this!!! I'm hungry already!!!

-a bbq/grill  We need one medium sized one for a few tri-tips on Saturday

Thanks,

-Christiaan
Coffee, I can't live without it.  When it comes to camping, instant does just fine for me.  I have a backpacking stove I'm going to use for coffee in the mornings, but I was only planning on making enough for the wife and myself.  That little stove can boil water in about 2.5 minutes or less, so I can provide hot water for the masses.  However, I don't have anything for actual brewing, I was just planning on instant coffee.

edit:  What I meant to say was if someone has a percolator or a method of boiling large amounts of water, I can provide the flame and fuel.  If no one really has the capability to percolate, I can get a larger can of instant coffee and provide that, along with hot water from the kettle that's in my cooking kit.

I have a percolator that I use for boiling water...lost the percolating stuff a long time ago.  I also am just fine with instant, which I planned on bringing.

The best coffee I've ever had was brewed in a siphon coffee maker, the second best was made in a press.  Long story, short, presses make dang good brew.

I have zero idea how to use it, but it seems like a pretty simple process; I'm going to bring a small can of grounds, and some cream, and learn on the fly!!!

I will bring my BBQ attachment for my camp chef grill. The cooking surface is 16" deep x 24" wide x 8" tall, which should be good for a few tri-tips. My only concern would be making sure the lid will close, but I suppose we can cut the tri tips down if we have to.

Also, propane might be a concern. I'm only bring a 10lb tank, and I'm not even sure how full it is (I think we used 1/4 - 1/2 of it in Death Valley). I'm confident there's enough to cook the 8 lbs of bacon on Saturday morning, but cooking three large tri-tips could use a lot of propane and I'm not confident that there's enough in that tank for both tasks. Will there be some back-up propane just in case?

Thanks for the help Joe; are you referring to the white propane tanks?  Can someone else step up and bring one as back-up?

Yes, it uses full-size propane tanks. So a 10 lb or a standard 20 lb bbq tank would work. I have a couple 20 lb tanks at home, but I simply won't have the room for one by the time I bring the grill, griddle and bbq attachment, plus my camping gear.

I have an adapter to use the small green cans in an emergency, but this grill is a beast and can really go through propane if being used to capacity. I only got about 8 mins of use from all three burners on a brand new full green can. Depending on how long those tri-tips need to cook and how hot, someone would have to be swapping out green cans quite a few times. :)

I'll search for a place around my house where I can top off my 10 lb tank too. The feed store I use has changed their policy and charges a 5 gallon minimum now. That sucks when you need to top off a 2.5 gallon tank that's less than half empty.

Ok.  I'm a charcoal man myself, so I just can't justify going out and buying a tank just to back up.

I'm hoping some other propane guys will chime in and lend a hand.

Worst case scenario; I can bring my bbq and some coals.  Not the quickest way, but they come out super yummy!!!

Joe, this U Haul (https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Propane-near-Murrieta-CA-92562/732035/) does propane refills.
(link to store page with hours and whatnot)

25086 Jefferson Av
Murrieta, CA 92562

I forget where you moved, so this might not be close to you.
I get my tank refilled at U Haul.


I will have my 10# propane tank with me.  It's pretty full.  I have an adapter to run full size propane and green bottle size propane simultaneously.  If I get a chance, I'll run it over to the U Haul and top it off.

Sounds like we'll have plenty of good gas (ha!). And thanks Steve! I know right where that U-haul is... it's only about a block from the feed store I usually go to. I'll get over there and top my tank off before I leave.

Hey guys well the mild salsa came out a lil on the spicy side and the spicy salsa came out bomb! When I make the pico de gallo I won't add any kick to it. Also I'm brining 4 lbs of asada.
