Our curated collection of hunting camp food and camping food supplies is built specifically for hunters, by hunters. Every product we stock is field-tested and selected with performance, convenience, and nutrition in mind.

Nutrition Tips When on the Hunt

When you're running a calorie deficit, burning thousands of calories a day when backcountry hunting, and getting minimal sleep, every ounce of energy matters. Proper hunting food and nutrition helps play a vital role in:

• Sustain endurance through long hikes and climbs
  
• Promote recovery after heavy pack-outs
  
• Sharpen focus for glassing and critical decision-making
  
• Boost immune system function during multi-day hunts
  
• Stabilize blood sugar to avoid energy crashes in the field

Cold granola bars and beef jerky might get you through a short trip, but for multi-day pursuits, you need a solid strategy. That’s why BlackOvis offers balanced, shelf-stable, and nutrient-dense meals and snacks made for backcountry demands.

Types of Hunting Camp Food

Every hunter has different dietary needs and packing preferences, so our selection includes a variety of camping food supplies and nutritional solutions to fit your hunt style.

1. Freeze-Dried Meals

Lightweight, compact, and easy to prepare, freeze-dried meals are a staple for backcountry hunts. Just add boiling hot water, wait a few minutes, and you’ve got a hearty, satisfying meal that delivers both calories and morale.

Our freeze-dried options include:

• Breakfasts: oatmeal blends, egg scrambles, and breakfast skillets
• Entrees: pasta, rice bowls, stews, and chili
• High-calorie options: ideal for heavy exertion days

Top brands like Peak Refuel offer meals with high protein counts and macro-balanced nutrition in flavors that won’t get old halfway through your trip.

2. Coffee Kits

When you're rising early to glass ridgelines or winding down after a long stalk, few things beat a hot cup of coffee in the backcountry. Our coffee kits include Jetboil-compatible coffee presses and all-in-one brewing systems that make real coffee quickly and efficiently, without adding extra bulk to your pack. Whether it’s a morale boost at camp or a sunrise ritual, having good coffee on hand makes any hunt more enjoyable.

3. On-the-Go Fuel

For hunters who stay mobile and need quick energy, you should also stock:

• Energy bars and chews
  
• Electrolyte drink mixes
  
• Trail mix and jerky packs
  
• Meal replacement shakes

These options are great for midday snacks, trail-side fuel, or lightweight alternatives to full meals. At BlackOvis, we also stock an energy product like BLK FLG Revenge that helps support mental clarity when you're out on your hunt.

Everything we carry at BlackOvis is tested by real hunters who know what it’s like to eat on a rock at 10,000 feet. Whether you’re chasing bulls at elevation or glassing late into the evening, fueling your body with quality meals and hot coffee can make all the difference. Here are some of our favorite camping food supplies, meal options, and go-to gear for backcountry cooking:
