Food to bring on the ice with you this winter
« on: Oct 03, 2012, 09:14 PM »
I prefer a couple of granola bars to get going. I find flavored yogurts don't freeze on me so I'll bring some of those. Beef jerky is another classic, I can share that with the different animals that venture close. Sometimes a Subway sandwich works well also. Sometimes I bring a thermos full of tea or coffee, depending on my acid reflux. If my friend brings his grill, I'll supply some hot dogs and sausages and hash browns. m&m's are pretty good too. sometimes I'll make scrambled egg mix at home and bring it in Karen's tupperware with me with and pan, that's a good one to try out. I try to bring food that can double as bait in an emergency, like peanut butter crackers and different marshmellows. I also keep plenty of water in the truck, just in case. What kind of food does everyone else like to bring out on the ice with them? If you cook, do you use charcoal or propane energy sources? Any neat ideas?

chili! nothing better than hot and spicy chilly when ice fishing. we bring a skillet and a little portable camp stove. cook a thing of bacon then make eggs in the grease, toast some english muffins and have some amazing(terribly unhealthy) breakfast sandwiches. if it just me, ill go with a couple gatorades, powerbar, trail mix, jerky, just whatevers easy to just throw in the sled.

Oh man I love to eat on the ice. When I am in a portable shack and cook on the Mr.Buddy I like hot dogs rap in foil and bring buns and those little ketchup pack from like McDonalds. As well as lots of Mtn.Dew and a thermose of coffe. But when I am in my permy it is a whole different story. I have a three burner stove inside and bring a Weber Smokie Joe grill with me. On them I like to cook burger and dogs as well as fried potatoes and Fish cooked in tin foil with lemon peper and green pepers and onions. I also Enjoy pan cakes and bacon and eggs for breckfast. I like cream soups and add water only mash potatoes and pasta dishes. Just to name a few. Man I cant wait to cook on the ic again.

You can' t beat bear steak.  I like venison,  but I would take bear over deer every time.  Good call IW.

I, ll make ring baloney,  or brats, I have made hot wings, ( need to do those more often),  deep fried fish.  I also usually bring some jerky that I make too.

I usually bring hotdogs to fry on the old Coleman stove, coffee, cocoa and cookies for the kids

Cocoa has to have marshmallows in it.  ;)

one of my favorites is  the night before I pre cook some italian sausage with sauted onions and green peppers, cut the sausage into bite size pieces and toss the whole thing into a zip lock baggie. heat that up while I'm on the ice in a fry pan,  or I can leave it in the bag and boil it in a jetboil set up its good with or without the bun.  I've made a few friends when the aroma of this warming up hits the air.

My $15 Coleman grill is on its 4th year of use. I use it year round. It's pretty beat down now. I am hoping I can get the whole ice season out of it. Also, anyone familiar with the coffee can charcoal grill that people make at home? I think I may try that.
Cheers,

Pete

Hey Ice, now that's what I call chillin and grillin buddy! I haven't had bear steak, had the jerky. Great picture.
My favorite breakfast on the ice is a combo of venison sausage pattys, bacon, eggs on the sunny side fried right in the bacon grease, home fries made ahead of time and just warmed up in the pan, piping hot coffee with Baileys Irish Cream. I can almost smell the bacon frying right now!

It you are looking for it to be light weight there are some micro stoves that backpackers use that are really light.

Better than the 'coon and squirrel stew I used to make!!!! I'll bring my Hellfire Chili, you bring the bear, Jeff, and we'll eat like kings!!! ;D  :roflmao: :roflmao:

No food, if i've got time to eat, it means i'm not catching fish and it's time to move.  Only time i eat is if i'm at a gathering

I agree, no food for me.My son packs a good bit of snacks,but I never eat.I have noticed a friend of mine always pours a cup of coffee or gets out a sandwich when fishing slows,seems he gets a bite just as he starts to eat or drink,he says that's the only reason he brings anything. :cookoo:
