CAMP COOKING

Judging by the number of people inhabiting our tourist camps at almost all seasons of the year, the human family seems to be reverting to its original form of life in the open. The majority of people still have enough of this early instinct in them to make good and happy campers.

There are two very different kinds of camp life. One is that of the tourist, pursued only as a means to an end; its main purpose being to furnish economical shelter while traveling. The other species of camper goes to some quiet and secluded spot and there establishes a more or less permanent camp.

The tourist, especially, must consider the space he has to give to equipment and must eliminate all non-essentials.

The umbrella type of tent is perhaps the easiest to put up while larger wall tents are more commodious.

A collapsable gasoline stove is useful and a necessity for the tourist. The camper who stays in one location can cook on a wood fire if necessary. Small iron grills for a wood fire are inexpensive and very practical.

As many cooking utensils as space will permit should be taken from the kitchen cupboard. Special camp equipment, including a nest of pans and granite wear dishes saves space. Such articles as wash basin, lantern, flashlight, shovel, hammer and nails, rope, paper napkins, toilet and laundry soap and dish towels are most necessary and are often forgotten.

Go prepared for rain and have rubbers for every member of the family.

Most campers like to eat from a table rather than from the ground and the folding card table fills this need. If camp chairs are scarce some members of the party can sit on boxes in which food has been packed while the automobile running board will seat several others.

One tourist took the handle from the side of an old suit case, placing it at the end. He put shelves across the case and had a portable cupboard which was much appreciated by the cook, when conveniences were all too scarce.
