    Biscuit on a Stick

    If you're looking for a for an alternative way to cook biscuits out of a can, this might be for you. I went tent camping up in Idyllwild with a friend this weekend. Because of the severe fire danger, cooking was limited to the charcoal grill, a portable stove, or a portable fire pit (duraflame...

    Announcement "firefly" (raindrop, #443) Due By Early October!

    Thanks everyone! Correction noted, Cary. It said SO Number 443 on the 8/30 invoice, so I'll make a note for our records. Must be listed elsewhere. Even though we're missing CICO, still can't wait! Stelena

    Announcement "firefly" (raindrop, #443) Due By Early October!

    It's official! We finalized the loan paperwork and will be anxiously awaiting a shipment date for Firefly at the end of the month! :grin: We had hoped to go pick her up and travel back down through Deadwood, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon after a primer at the CICO. Alas, it is not to be. We...

    Fires in Texas

    Funny thing is that yesterday we were thinking it'd be good to have the raindrop already (with a generator for AC). With all of SoCal out of electricity and incommunicado (all phone lines down) in the heat it would have been a great time for a cook-out and to have ac for some of our older...

    Fires in Texas

    Right-O on that one. One of our motivations (beyond enjoying camping) for the Camp-Inn was to have a shelter for any future firestorms or earthquakes here in SD. Volunteering at shelters during the last firestorm made me think about that--especially when the school shelters were running out of...

    Rest area grades

    If you're in the San Diego area, avoid the Wal-Mart in El Cajon because the area can be questionable, but the one at Grossmont Center (in La Mesa) tends to be well-lit and a better area. That shopping center is by my parents. Anything South of the 8 is also kind of questionable. We haven't used...

    Chili Mac

    Mish mash stuff like this was the greatest when I was a kid (and also in sea scouts). Throwing odd things together can make great combinations. I have the feeling your little folks are going to have fond memories of this special dish when their older. (: Sounds like a fun one to try--thanks for...

    Itinerary Tears By The River #4

    We're bummed we won't be able to make it to the Camp Inn Camp Out and will have our raindrop shipped instead when it's done. Ivan has to fly to Russia with Darcy to visit our family over there. We hope everyone has fun and that we'll get a chance to meet up at some point! Sounds like you're...

    FYI: I'm still alive...

    Awesome! My best friend has had a lot of success with Weight Watchers. We also can't wait to get our Firefly in the fall and start travelling...until then we're settling for the odd road trip here and there. I'd love to go camping up at Big Sur in Northern California.

    Instant Camp Bread

    Might be a silly question, George, but if we are making dishes at home then we just use the oven equivalent of 400 degrees--correct? What temperature do you recommend for pre-heating the dutch oven?
