Keep the door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power. After a power outage never taste food to determine its safety. You will have to evaluate each item separately - use this chart as a guide.

Camping means a lot of different things for a lot of different people, but whether you're the type that roughs it in a tent or brings along a fully-stocked camper van, there's a good chance your camping trip is defined by your food. It's what brings everyone around the campfire in the evening no matter what activities the family has planned for the day, and there's no reason you need to settle for old standbys like hamburgers and hot dogs.
