With temperatures finally cooling down, it's the ideal time to add this outdoor survival meal to your dinner menu. These potato, corn and carrot foil packets are a healthy and hearty choice – and all you need is a grill and an open flame.

Prepare Your Own Outdoor Survival Meal

When it comes to outdoor survival, your food supply is extremely important. Because you won't always have access to meat, it's crucial to have a back-up plan. An all-veggie meal is a great solution if you're trying to ration your supply of meat, and it's also packed with essential nutrients. These potato and veggie foil packets take minimal effort – just chop up your veggies, sprinkle on some seasoning, and heat them over an open flame. Best of all, most of these ingredients are relatively inexpensive, so it's a great go-to meal that is both hearty and delicious.

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. steak seasoning
  • pinch of salt and pepper

How to make your outdoor survival meal:
