First camping trip since changing my diet, been juicing, eating whole foods, avoiding anything processed.
All been pretty straight forward with a full kitchen & garden to hand!
As we will be travelling for about a month, obviously can't survive on stuff prepared at home so I am after some hints & tips for maintaining a decent diet while on the road & day hiking.
Will be taking standard gas cooker, trusty pressure cooker & small electric oven. Don't think it's going to be practical using a full blown juicer & all that entails, but maybe the nutribullet might come along.
Any suggestions ?

I almost posted last night but I was too drunk! Right now I am feeling a little delicate. Will post later in the day when the thought of food doesn't turn my stomach

I'm vegetarian but I do have the luxury of an oven and a fridge with a freezer compartment in my van. I'm not sure I'd bother to lug a pressure cooker around, vegetables don't take so long to cook as meat. I got rid of mine when I stopped eating meat. Same with a slow cooker, it can over cook vegetables.
I take as much stuff out of my freezer as I can fit into the freezer in the van (half the size of a shoe box) for the first two or three days and I keep a stock of packets of rice and tins of Indian and vegetables etc. If you've got a fridge, you can make larger amounts - use a whole packet of Quorn, if you eat it, and have it over two days. Or use cook-in sauces on pasta.
If you see those little paperback cookery books they sell in fancy goods shops, there is a vegetarian one and also a camping one which has a few veggie recipes in it.

We eat lots of couscous - simple to prepare, no mess/pans to clean, minimal fuel use too - much more practical than normal pasta
We do a moroccan stew with carrots, squash, courgettes, chickpeas, dried fruit, chopped toms and spices, mix with couscous.
Also just fry up onions, peppers and mix with couscous and some sundried tomato paste, herbs - good eating, hot or cold.
Not vegan, but a veggie stroganoff of onions, mushrooms, sour cream, with (boilinbag) rice always goes down well.

We are all veggie.
We like dhal as well, and veggie chilli is our first night of the holiday meal. If you have electric, then a slow cooker might be useful.

OK I can think about food again now 
Here are some of the meals on my list for this summer
Pasta with
- sausage sauce made at home and frozen
- tinned sweetcorn, peas, redwood sausages (H&B sell them) and stir in sauce
- lentil sauce using onions, mushrooms, tinned green lentils and a jar of tomato sauce
- mushroom sauce using mushrooms, stock, mushroom Tartex and spinach
- broccoli and cashew nuts with basil and rosemary
- bolognese using dried veggie mince
- chickpea, spinach and sun dried tomato
Rice we often use the microwave packs when camping and just heat them up in a pan served with
- Granovita tinned hotpot
- curry, home made or tinned (Sainsbury's chickpea dhal is lovely )
- chilli again home made or tinned
We also sometimes have some of the above with cous cous
Meals with veg, either fesh veg or tinned depending on how long I have to cook
- veggie mince and mushrooms
- lentils and mushrooms
- sausage casserole
We often have sandwiches using wraps or pannini and have some pots of bean salad, pasta salad on the side
Burgers in a bun with all the trimmings
Soup and veggie hotdogs
Sausage, mash (real or Mr Mash) and beans
Cowboy stew which is onion, tinned spuds, baked beans, little bit of stock and sausages all cooked in one pan (sausages need to be cooked first we use the Redwood pre cooked ones)
Beans on toast
Hope that helps
