Never brush up against any part of a hot butane stove. Paella cooked over an open fire is paella as God intended it. Plan to meet some solitary hiker to share your dinner. You know you packed enough to feed Hannibal s army, mainly to avoid having to implement any of Mr. Angier s survival tips. Fresh air is the world s best seasoning.
Food really does taste better outdoors.
When eating by lantern light, never examine your plate too closely. You ve probably picked up some extra protein. Frankly, I had some grave reservations about the whole camping thing before we started. I am not a sporty or outdoorsy type of person. My idea of getting away from it all is ordering room service at the Ritz Carlton.
