5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff!, February 1, 2003

By	microjoe - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I have quite a few cookbooks, and even more camping books. I would rate this as one of the better books I have read about cooking in the woods. The instructions are easy to follow and the recipes are delicious. There are about 200 tasty recipes total, and he uses camp stoves, dutch ovens, reflector ovens, and the fire itself. The book has advice on pans and what to pack. He shows you how to cook the meals for big groups and small alike. And there are plenty of fun recipes for kids and scouts in here as well. He shows you how to cook in foil to cut down on dishes and pans, and other timesavers.

He also shows you differnet methods to build fires, and how to make a few home-made grills and stoves economically.
If you only buy one camp cook book, this would be a good choice.

If you buy this title buy the one with the 2nd edition marker on it, it is much improved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Camping Information, July 13, 2007

By	E. Jenks "cookin' granny" (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has a wealth of information for campers with all levels of experience. It will be a valued reference for us from now on when we plan to go camping whether it's for a weekend or longer. I will be interested in any other camping books written by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Campers!, December 28, 2008

By	Disenchanted "Sam" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best camping cookbooks I have purchased. Wanted recipes that I could actually cook over a campfire vs. a Coleman stove. Got what I was looking for in this book. The recipes are simple and easy. I have used it extensively. Contains some great shortcuts too. Would highly recommend this book to any camper.
