The amount of money that you spend on camping food should depend on whether or not you’re going solo or with a group. It also depends on your activities while you’re out on the camping trip. If you are going to be hanging around the campsite a little more than hiking, then you probably won’t spend that much on freeze-dried foods, but if you’re going to be on the trail more then it’s a good idea to stock up on them.
How many times you go camping a year should also determine the cost. While they’re going on the camping trip and already buying this type of food, some folks decide that it’s a good idea to go ahead and stock up on some of it at the house in case of hurricanes, floods or other natural disasters that they’ll need emergency food for.
