Expert Event Planning Tips
- Assign meal pairs or teams for each dinner so cooking and dishwashing duties rotate fairly across the group.
- Freeze gallon jugs of drinking water solid before packing them into coolers; they keep food cold longer without creating a soggy mess and provide chilled water as they melt.
- Always check camp stove regulators and fuel canister connections before leaving home to ensure all communal cooking gear is compatible.
- Pack dry goods and pantry staples in heavy-duty latching plastic totes to keep food organized and safe from curious wildlife.
