ATV Camping Food Ideas

When I am on a ATV camping trip, sometimes I don’t know when I will get back to camp after a long ride. While I do like a good hearty dinner after a long ride, typically I have to fend for myself. Sometimes we don’t get back to camp until after dark and all I want to do is sit by the campfire, relax and talk about the days events.
