Cooking Tip
Beans
You could certainly substitute dry beans for the canned varieties. Take care to add additional liquid, when doing so. Consult the dry beans package for an idea of how much additional water to add to the crockpot.

Carry along ample trash bags, and when possible a portable trash receptacle.
