favourites are:
Nachos
Casseroles
curries
good fry up!
Despite what gonetropo thinks I like to take plenty of evil vege too!

Walk in:
Think lightweight but mix it up if possible. We bought a dehydrator and often make bigger meals at home and dehydrate the leftovers for hunting trips. (hot tip, weight the meal before and after it goes in the dehydrator and the difference is the water water to add to re-hydrate (usually plus a bit). Homemade venison jerky is ace too!

Yeah it's a walk in mission so jerky and biltong are on the cards. What sorts of meals do you throw in the dehydrator?
@Cigar there are craploads of goats where we're going. I'll be taking some extra ammo to cull a couple so will definitely be going for the fresh meat option too.
