Ask a rock climber

[CapnAwesome]

You've never been camping?? Wow. That is so strange to me. I mean I grew up camping for sometimes the entire summer. So with food normally you just bring in as many supplies as you can from town at a time. I mean normally you want to go back to town at least once a week anyway to get on the internet or take a shower or whatever people want to do. I mean I'm in town right now redecorating the RV and playing on Atheist forums, then I'll be back in the park for a bit and back out or whatever. Rarely do I eat canned food. I mean most climbers are health conscious and have good diets, probably far better then your average American. It's very common to make group dinners with other climbers.  Also Americans refrigerate food that people in other countries don't, for example eggs.

So you buy fresh whole foods once a week and keep them in the refrigerator of your RV? How would you handle that if you were living in a tent or in a truck that didn't have a fridge? I imagine eggs can only do so much when you're super hungry.  

(And nah to camping. I like doing nature stuff during the day, but when night comes I'd like a decent hotel room where I can shower and take a dump. I know RVs and cabins have all that, but I'd rather just take a nice hotel.)

Well food keeps better then you'd think. I mean something like kale keeps for 3 days without being refrigerated, cheese and eggs keep forever. I have a lot of dried beans for protein. Meat is the only thing that you have to eat within a day and that's only without a cooler and ice which almost everybody has. I also keep a lot of dried staples around continuously. If I really wanted to have a boring diet I could stay somewhere for probably a month with the food I have in the RV right now. So I guess most of my town trips involve me craving meat or candy. Also if you don't feel like going to town, there is always somebody going. So all in all you can have a good balanced healthy diet for about a week at a time without a fridge.
