make your own and freeze at home, excellent at keeping the cool box cold for a good few days too
Yup!
Being on my own, I often cook or prep in bulk at home, portion into individual containers before freezing.
I make freezer packs of meat such as breakfast packs, bacon packs, single item meat portion such as homemade burgers, marinated chicken thighs/pork shoulder steaks, lamb ribs etc...
I have a lot of Lock and Lock tubs in single portion sizes, and a vacuum sealer.
I usually take something from the freezer for the first night as I often do not fancy cooking much after a long drive and setting up.

Great stuff. Thanks guys. We pre made made a curry last time then reheated with boil in the bag rice.
Problem with this trip is we've got a stopover before we travel out. I was wondering if there were any treats in world food isles that are already in a packet and just require reheating? Dhal etc.
How about instant noodles, such as Kabuto and my personal favourite which is Shin Cup (a spicy Korean instant noodle)?
I carry a Shin Cup in my van all the time, plus cup soups, in the event I fancy a snack and not a big meal.
I have seen some pre-cooked curries in pouches in the World Food isle of a supermarket in a town with a sizable ethnic population, from a reputable brand, and they look very nice on the packaging. However, I have not tried them myself.

People may hate this... But! We find the one thing that is usually in abundance is water wherever we camp :p So, don't transport water! It's bulky and pointless.
Dried everything is our super power. Smash, lentils, pulses, spice mixes, pastas, noodles, rice, soup... etc etc. Then just rehydrate as required lol. They're usually the cheapest items in supermarket anyway and you then just mix what you fancy. Also means people can eat differently which saves arguments with he kids. For stuff that doesn't dry, get tins! They're packed to the brim so no wasted space and no need to refrigerate.
Family and friends think I'm crazy, but I probably pack a weeks worth of food in a days worth of "hydrated" space... And it's fun being different when camping! :D
