Planning, packing for and setting up a proper camp site is getting to be a dying art. There's a lot to it that modern folks never think about, and as a result, head out for a week of camping with a cheap tent, flimsy air mattress and grossly inadequate food and equipment and are perfectly miserable. My Dad, old curmudgeon that he was, used to take us cross-country with a cardboard box with a couple frying pans, Dutch oven and a coffee pot, and a couple air mattresses. That was HIS idea of "camping", when he was too cheap to pay $11 a night for a motel room. Mr. Hall gives you the real-lowdown on everything you need to know about proper equipment, planning for your trip, what food to take, how to choose the proper equipment, and gives some good, easy recipes. This is all given in down-to-earth language,, spoken from one whose learned it all the hard way, apparently. As someone who finally got the knack of cooking everything from a respectable beef stew to a pretty tasty dump cake to biscuits in a Dutch oven. it's well worth acquiring the knack to be a "Happy Camper" because there is no where you and your family will have more fun for less money, providing you are properly prepared and equipped.
