Food while Camping

If you are bringing an ice chest, it really should not be any problem, freeze your meat and put at bottom and carefully place everything else on top and limit the opening of the chest

Buy a couple of packs of Richard's smoked sausage and freeze it the night before you leave (assuming you're going to make a fire at night). It works out pretty great. No supplies needed, you can just roast over fire with a stick. And it's already smoked, so don't have to worry about undercooking and getting sick.

You are bringing an ice chest for a 3 day hiking trip?

3 day hike with and icechest?

You got a pack mule tagging along?

We will be driving to different camp sites in Yosemite.So we will pack an ice chest and not planning on going into town to re-ice anything.

If that floats your boat, then yes.

We will be in the park for 3 days doing several hikes. We don't hike for a living and was looking for some input from experienced people as far as what to bring to eat while only packing one time... Is that more detailed and clear?

if its only for 3 days and you've got a vehicle and an ice chest you can pretty much cook whatever the frick you want. just don't open the ice chest every 5 minutes if you've got sushi you plan to eat on the last day. Or keep a second ice chest with nothing but ice that you don't open at all for a couple days and use that to re-stock the one you open every 5 minutes to get your beer out.

You can pack just about anything. Not sure what cooking pots and stove you have access to though. Keep it simple.

Things that can cook over a fire. Hot dogs, steaks, baked potatoes are all very easy. Sandwich makings also good.

Just keep in mind bears can and will break into cars for tasty smelling people food. Use bear boxes if they have them.

"Primitive" camping? I had some trouble finding an open campsite last time I went, but I didn't do reservations. If you have trouble finding one there is a state park up the dirt road that goes through the golf course. Nice secluded campsite that usually isn't full. And there are stores in the park. You can buy groceries.
