What is the holy grail of camp cook books?

[roger352]

What is the best camp fire cook book or the only one you could have?.

 

[2.ooohhh]

My personal favorite though not available commercially says "Rock Island Staff 2002" on the cover and was a gift from the scoutmaster of a troop I worked with that summer at camp. It's a 30+ year collection of the troop's favorite camp foods, with much of it being dutch oven fare though some recipes make use of a camp stove or a fire and grate. Everything in it can be cooked with my relatively simple camp kitchen setup modeled after a patrol's chuck box. :chef:

would love to get a copy of that!

I make up my own recipes.

Lots of coworkers have been asking so I've started to put a book together for them. It'll be vegan though...

 

[cdthiker]

check out the NOLS cookery.
Solid simple ideas most of them made from simple ingredients. easily made in the field on small stoves.
Back country bread rolls? I think so.

I really like the book I got at the Overland Expo this year
Forks in the Road: Recipes from Overlanding the Pan-American Highway by Kobus and Jessica Mans as well as Jared Mccaffree

I'm kinda partial to the dirtbag gourmet articles in Backpacker magazine.

Hilldweller, let me know if you need any testers Seriously, though, do you have any single serving recipes included?

Been wanting to get these two books;

Forks in the road is good, we generally choose at least one recipe each trip.

I've been trying to think of how to do things we do for just one...
Would be harder. A typical recipe starts, "cut an acorn squash in half..." So you'd either need a nice vegan girlfriend or a huge appetite.

here are a couple from the 2012 Losers Thread

Had a thread a while ago got buried wanted it to be a sticky

But idea to have folks submit recipes and create our own cookbook from all our members favorites

 

[roger352]

Good idea Honu. No comments just recipes.

 

[Hilldweller]

Great idea, Honu.

 

[Honu]

I thought it would be a killer idea even if its just a thread that is a sticky ?

that was the original got buried and did not want it a promo page either but oh well just wanted recipes we do and love

so would be nice to keep it just recipes and one pic of the final dish kinda thing and have the title something like


recipe name - Dutch Oven
recipe name - Grill
recipe name - pan
recipe name - foil pack

just to get a rough idea looking what its cooked in ahahah

would be nice if the mods see this to start a new one with some kinda pinned link

so many of us cook and share ideas
