[Sca-cooks] camp cooking suggestions and tips

[Kathleen Roberts]

hey johnnae... you took my suggestions!  living here in fire-restriction central, i have been altering my cooking styles quite a bit while camping.  especially get as much precooked as you can, and use as few pots and utensils as you can get away with for the meal.   heating hot water for dishes uses up propane.
 
no matter how nice the weather is, always bring something boxed or canned you can make soup out of in a pinch.  i find canned roast beef, canned diced potatoes and frozen mixed veg (and a little love) do very well.  and if it doesn't get rainy/cold, your fighter friends can used the bagged frozen veggies as cold packs for owies.
 
never leave the whiskey at home... see above cold weather reference.  god bless toddies.

I'd emphasize that everyone should check on the fire conditions
and follow the rules before starting any campfire.

If using propane, always check your tanks and bring an extra if someone
is planning on doing extended cooking.
