5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for novice and experienced outdoor cooks, March 1, 1998

By A Customer

As an outdoor trainer, I find this (and other Dian Thomas books) invaluable parts of my personal training library. She offers many simple yet intriguing ideas for outdoor cooking fun, suitable for novices or experienced cooks who want to add flair to their outdoor cooking experiences. My particular favorites are the wheelbarrow grills (great when the local ordinances will not allow us to build a fire on the ground) and the turkey cooked hung from a tripod (We fed 15 people with a "bird" done this way. It took a lot of work to set it up, but we were paid off in oohs & ahs for our inventiveness!)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few down to earth fun camping/cooking books ever!, March 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Backyard Roughing It Easy (Paperback)

I have over 35 years experience in camping, hiking, survival training and having fun and a great experience in the back yard and the wilderness. This book offers a smile and easy fun for enjoying the rough aspects of the outdoors. I am sincerely disappointed that it is out of print. It must be that the publishers has his/her toenails done daily, because he/she has no clue as to what enjoyment this book can bring away from their overdomestication. I have worn out my first copy (the one with the colored pics), but smiled doing so.

Roughing it easy was problably the best camping book I have ever read. It had lots of inovative ideas that made my camping experience very memroable. Another book I might recomend is Roughing it Easy 2.
