The scent of campfire smoke. The sight of sun rays filtering through the pine branches. The stinging itch of a mosquito bite on your leg. The sound of crickets tuning up for their evening serenade.
Camping always seems to make food taste better.
Maybe it's the long day hike that enhances the taste buds or all the extra work it takes to prepare food outdoors. But sometimes, food that tastes great may actually be contaminated with foodborne bacteria, which can make you sick. Foodborne bacteria can multiply rapidly in warm outdoor temperatures, and foodborne illness is the last thing you want when you're sleeping in a tent. Keeping food safe without hot running water and refrigeration can be a challenge to campers. Choose a well insulated cooler.
