This book is by no means 'The Complete Camp Cookbook'! I couldn't write such a book because it would mean revising it after every camping trip. Camping and camp cooking continue to evolve, as does everything else. However, this book will benefit both the beginning camp cook and those who've spent a fair amount of time cooking for hungry campers. If you've read this far you've figured out my philosophy extends beyond just having good grub in camp. I started out camping with my folks and sisters as a little kid in SE Idaho. As an adult my profession plus my interest in white water rafting and horse packing allowed me to camp over a good part of Idaho and other western states as well. Whether solo camping or camping as part of a group, I enjoy spending time outdoors!
My tenure as a conservation officer also influenced the content of this book. I've witnessed folks feeling miserable because they didn't have the proper gear or the knowledge and information needed when they ventured beyond roads end. I also feel obligated to do my part in educating folks about more mundane things like water and garbage, and to pass along tips that make camp life easier. I'm no efficiency expert, but there will always be the easy way and the hard way of doing things, camping and camp cookin' included!
I focused this book on camping and cookin' in camp, but I encourage anyone with an interest in outdoor cooking to try his or her own hand with a Dutch oven. DO cookin' tastes as great on the patio as it does in the back country!
In camp the cook tent or campfire usually ends up being the social center where folks gather to both start a new day and to say goodnight. The good times in between are just part of the reason we all go camping. In the physical sense it takes wood to fuel a campfire but on the other hand, I've never sat next to a campfire that wasn't in part fueled with memories. I hope you enjoyed reading the stories, trying the recipes, and that the next time you're sitting around a campfire you take the time to remember your pards, both past and present!
