Prepare a hearty breakfast outdoors.

Well, it turns out that there are actually two great ways to cook bacon while camping. One is for early risers and/or people who have watched "Wild Hunter" more than once; the other is for the rest of us. Whether you are a skilled outdoor enthusiast or are still accustomed to the whole idea of ​​sleeping outdoors, these two techniques will ensure that you enjoy a hot breakfast in the morning and cheer for a good time on the weekend hiking, kayaking or At least some quality hammock time.

Camp Stove Method: If you bring a camping stove powered by butane or propane with you, congratulations; you will prepare bacon and eat it quickly without fuss or waiting. (Coleman makes our favorite camp stove, and the prices vary.) Just put the frying pan on the burner, wait for it to heat up like at home, and fry it.

Open flame method: Although it may require more work, cooking bacon on an open flame is simple, requiring practice and the right equipment. Once you have lighted the fire, place a grill on it to provide a level surface for your frying pan. Then you can use bacon like any other way. It may take a few tries to figure out what temperature your fire needs to reach to make the bacon hiss effectively, but the rewards are worth it. You can also boil eggs with it.
