OP where are you from originally? This is fascinating to me.

It’s not rocket science.

I don’t eat doughnuts for breakfast. Also, remember, we are in the middle of forest. There is no Starbucks around corner.

Okay. Replace “doughnuts” with whatever low calorie bar you eat. Same difference. Bottom line: it’s not rocket science.

Anyone going into a vacation with a chip on their shoulder and a complete inability will be voted off the island or sent down the river (or whatever saying fits your “forest” vacation best).

Don't taunt people with a house smelling like bacon but not offering to share, that's just cruel.

Why can’t you bring your own bacon? Is it hard?

Okay, I’ll bring my own bacon. And I’ll secretly hide your frying pan and refuse to share mine.

The title of this thread is making me think of those inns from the 1600s when a bunch of people would pile in and sleep on reeds on the floor, sometimes next to livestock. That's the only scenario I can think of in which I was travelling with people I was afraid were going to steal my food. Bizarre.

I wonder how many men actually cook communal meals? I have seen zero from my vacations. They’re smart.

It’s a woman thing. They can’t stop servicing, being caretakers. Sorry, I’m not a maid. I would rather be hiking than cooking large meals for groups of people.

I hate to cook so I can understand that part. We have a cook at home even though I’m a SAHM.

Breakfast and lunch are so easy. Why can’t you just make a little extra to share?

I just can’t understand.

Where are you from? Was your mom like this? Did she teach you not to share food?

Then order in or get a bunch of prepackaged food to bring. You can get all kinds of healthy stuff that's premade and ready to go. Stop complaining because you're an inadequate, dumb and greedy person.

Get a big box of aldi's just add water pancake mix and make pancakes or waffles. Done. Cheap.

Apparently this is the new vacation trend. Tons of blogs about how to protect your bacon from travelers while bedding down in the forest. Google is your friend.

Tip: make sure you take the Yeti Bacon Guard with you. You really can’t safeguard your food in the wilderness without one.

Where do you think meals come from for people who work?! They just magically appear?

Just add water pancake mix? From Aldi’s? As if!

I don’t feed my kids that poison.

And like I said, I’m not interested in cooking for anyone.

We actually go hiking, swimming.

The only time I cook for large groups is holidays and when we host dinners. And that’s a lot of work. I’m not doing this on my vacation, sorry. Bring your own bacon.

Making bacon, eggs and toast is literally the easiest meal to cook. My ten year old can make bacon and eggs.

Again: this thread is making white millennials look really, really bad. [/quote]

I am really not convinced OP is a white, American millenial.

Do you understand the difference between Johnny having a couple of slices of bacon and Johny eating the entire Costco package of bacon that was supposed to last a few days? Then instructions of trying our cereal eating the whole box? That’s the annoying part.

Remember, you’re in the middle of forest and you can just make a grocery run.

Let’s lay off the OP.

She’s likely on some 900 calorie paleo bacon diet and simply doesn’t have the energy to cook for a crowd.
