It’s a chance to experience nature in all it's glory, but not exactly known for revelatory cuisine. We'll just say it outright: camping food can suck. We know all about the \u003cem\u003edelicacies\u003c\/em\u003e encountered during camping... “Just add water” dehydrated beef. Canned chili, eaten cold out of the tin. Bitter instant coffee and stale trail mix.

But \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/products\/diy-cold-brew-coffee-kit-gradys-cold-brew#variant=690187497\" title=\"DIY Cold Brew Coffee\"\u003eGrady’s Cold Brew\u003c\/a\u003e will not only give you a jolt, it’ll actually taste good, with rich notes of chicory and cocoa. Before tuckering out for the night, just toss a pre-ground coffee concentrate bag with cold water in a jar. Once you let it sit out in the cold overnight (no refrigerator needed!) and strain, you can get your necessary caffeine fix. Bonus: it comes packaged in a can... durable and reminiscent of those ol' cowboys. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuch Better Than Cardboard: Energy Bars \u0026amp; Granola\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve all had one too many energy bars that only taste of cardboard or trail mixes that are too heavy on stale raisins.
