Bagels are quick and easy. If you have more time another simple breakfast is biscuits and gravy. I buy powdered country gravy, and when I make it I add some home dehydrated pork sausage (recon before adding to gravy). For the biscuits I buy add water stuff, and fry them in a lightweight nonstick pan. Little or no oil needed. Pancakes have never worked for us. And while the others will eat oatmeal, I really have a hard time choking it down. |

Eggs will be fine if you cook them well, scrambled or in a baked item. They don't need refrigeration in the spring, just don't let them sit out in the sun. If you live where pasteurized eggs (the brand is Davidson's in our area) are available, that is one option, or get them at a farm where they haven't been washed. But we took supermarket eggs and never had a problem. We double-wrapped the egg cartons in brown paper grocery bags and duct-taped them under the stern seat of the canoe so that they rode out of the sun and were not jostled. No broken eggs--worked a lot better than those plastic egg carriers. I always had broked eggs in those. If you are afraid of fresh eggs or want more than a couple dozen, the Ova Easy crystals are the best powdered eggs I have ever found. For milk, Nido powdered milk is the best tasting--it is whole milk and is great on cereal, or in baking. Adds a richness that the non-fat powdered milk doesn't have. Good on granola or oatmeal. Pancakes are great, especially if you are traveling during blueberry season, but that isn't spring. I like the Krusteaz Honey Wheat, as it has more taste and more fiber, and is water-only, so it is a very easy mix. Adding chopped pecans to the batter makes them especially good, too. And we did take the weight of REAL north country maple syrup. I will not compromise on my syrup. Bisquick is handy for making bannock-type biscuits for breakfast. Just as easy as the pricey fry-bread mixes, and in my opinion, better anyway. Or I have used my Jello-mold oven and made coffee-cake with a Jiffy cake mix and a homemade cinnamon/butter/pecan streusel topping, or even corn bread from a mix. We ordered the little packets of almond butter and really good jelly from Packit Gourmet. Again, cost more than taking tubes or larger containers, but with just two of us, it was convenient and easy. |

Egg, bacon, pancake casserole My favorite camp breakfast is easy. Split bagel and a little hockey puck sized JIF peanut butter container, couple pieces of pre-cooked bacon. |

My other idea was pita bread for PB&Js because they appear they would pack better than actual bread. I could use them if I wanted for sandwiches for lunch, too. May have to check out the sandwich thins instead. |

The packit bags do not contain BPA or dioxins and are FDA approved for storing and boiling food in. There are similar bags on Amazon that are less expensive. |

Do you have a link to the bags similar to the Packit bags on Amazon? |

I'm currently planning my first BWCA trip for Spring 18 right now, and I am brainstorming meal plan ideas. I will be base camping, and centering the trip around fishing, so I plan on eating fish for supper at nights, and trying to find good ideas for a filling breakfast to get thru the day til supper, with a light midday snack packed in the canoe. At home I am usually a bacon & eggs kind of guy, but I don't think that will work for the trip because I do not plan on bringing a cooler to keep fresh food all week, so I am looking for alternatives. I was thinking oatmeal or pancakes, the "just add water" kind. Was possibly thinking maybe some fresh fruit, but that also will be unwanted weight and a little bulky. Any new ideas or recipes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

But I also like to mix it up by making a bacon and egg and cheese sandwich using Ova Easy Eggs, Brownberry Multigrain Sandwich Thins, Oscar Mayer Thick Cut Fully Cooked Bacon and a slice of cheese. Brownberry Multigrain Sandwich Thins Ova Easy Eggs Oscar Mayer Thick Cut Fully Cooked Bacon I like to warm up a couple of slices of Oscar Mayer Thick Cut Fully Cooked Bacon in my small fry pan on my gas stove. The already cooked bacon leaves a small amount of bacon grease in bottom of pan. Then I scramble up a couple of Ova Easy Eggs in the pan. When eggs are done ... I toast my 2 Sandwich Thin slices right on my gas stove burner and when toasted I put on the cooked eggs and bacon and top with a slice of cheese .... VOILA ... an awesome bacon/egg/cheese sandwich. Tastes great and so very quick to make. Easy cleanup too as the bacon grease coats the fry pan and minimizes the eggs sticking to the pan. Ova Easy Egg crystals are about as close to "real" eggs that you can get. I like the way the sandwich thins pack vs. bread. The sandwich thins shelf life in the bush seems to be a bit longer than bread too. You can use the thins for peanut butter and jelly and walleye fish sandwiches too. |

Add Ova easy eggs and spam singles and you have a great meal. Most days it’s grab a cliff bar and get out fishing. |

I'm not familiar with any of the dried egg products, but many use them along with pre-cooked bacon, hash browns, etc. It's more trouble than I want to go to, but I usually have oatmeal at home and eggs only occasionally. |
