Light Camping
After a hard day of hiking in the woods, everyone is looking forward to some good camping food. It can be demoralizing when camping food is bland freeze-dried dinners and trail mix. The good news is that tasty camping food can be prepared in advance and can be light weight too.
Good camping food requires the right tools. You'll need a good camp stove, a set of cookware, and probably plenty of water. And you'll also need food. Since camping usually means some amount of hiking, the food you pack will have to be light. Any meat that isn't dehydrated tends to be extremely heavy, making most campers vegetarians whether they like it or not. Especially if you're out for more than a couple days, protein gets to be an issue if your diet doesn't contain any meat. Nuts and beans provide the easiest and lightest sources, with peanut butter often filling in a needed kick of protein at lunch or breakfast.
Though dinner usually takes up the most time and energy, breakfast and lunch are important meals while camping. Breakfast can easily be a cold meal, though it's often worth breaking out the stove for hot tea or coffee with your dried fruit or granola bar. Pita bread or tortillas make handy bases for lunch, as they allows for sandwiches and dips but still pack easily; they're light but don't crush like regular bread. Trail mix is a stand-by favorite, as is dried fruit as they provide quick energy while on the move.
Finally, once you make it to camp you want a big dinner; something hearty and hot. Instant polenta or couscous, though a bit heavy, provides an excellent base for cheeses, dried vegetables, or other sauces, as both are hot and filling. Dried beans and barley make for hearty camping food, though be sure to find those which don't require much soaking or you'll be eating your beans for breakfast the next day. Black beans and rice make an excellent meal, especially if you can find a ready-made store mix which often packs its own kick. It's helpful to have a stove that can easily simmer food when putting together a camp meal; stoves like MSR's Whisperlight are notorious for having two settings: off and hi. Boiling water is easy, but simmering rice or beans for ten minutes can become a battle between keeping the stove lit and preventing your food from burning. However, it can be done.
Salt, pepper, dried basil, and some garlic powder can really spice up your camping food. Remember to bring a small spice collection for your camping trip. You can get some small containers from most outdoor retailers. With some advance preparation, you do not have to eat those freeze-dried astronaut meals

What could be the explaination for this camping incident?
I was camping out at night in the woods, (I enjoy survival)
at about midnight it was pitch black apart from my light and I went to collect some wood sticks, I heard something moving fast through the leaves and I saw this cat coming at me full speed, I began to run, I started to scream, I was screaming so hard, it was so horrible
I was chased 3km
sounds scary, are u sure it was a regular cat, not one of those wild one's that are about the same size?, i hope it wasn't a regular one
