Along with over 50 pages of recipes for one-pot meals, "stick" cooking and other kinds of outdoor dishes, the manual has directions for building fires, kinds of fuel to use, methods of food care and cook-out organization. In addition to solid information, there are intriguing suggestions. This one, for instance, giving a substitute for soda in bread-making, makes any adventurous family want to hit the trail: "Instead of soda, use an equal amount of the white of wood ashes and mix it dry with flour. It makes bread rise the same as soda, and it isn't possible to tell the difference. The best ashes are those of hickory, dogwood, sugar maple, and corncobs; but the ashes of beech, ash, buckeye, balsam poplar and yellow poplar are also good." Nothing daunts the camping they are braising ham in a beanhole, having a fish bake or an Imu.

No utensils are needed for the Imu. According to the scouts, it's a mode of cooking that was used in ancient days by Mediterranean countries; Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, Siberia and Japan. When they follow this early cooking technique, the scouts heat rocks in a pit in the ground, place food (wrapped in dampened grape, hickory or other nut leaves) next to the hot rocks, and cover the pit with earth to seal in the heat. No beater handy for those flapjacks? Don't give it a second thought. Cut a three-forked branch or iwig from a tree and use it as a beater by twirling or rolling it in the flapjack batter between the palms of your hands.

Tin cans come in for how-to-do treatment, too. In preparation for cook-outs, scouts at troop meetings learn to make kettles, stoves, corn poppers, skillets, toasters and broilers out of various sizes of tin cans. Tin shears and a sturdy scout knife and ingenuity do the rest. Berry picking is fcalf the fun of camping, and of course Girl Scouts sometimes put their berries in muffins. Because non-fat dry milk is easy to pack and carry, and stays fresh, the scouts include it hi their pack and use it for drinking and cooking in reliquefied.

And remember that the batter should be slightly lumpy, and not mixed until smooth or you will have peaks and tunnels'. The nonfat dry milk gives the muffins a delightful golden-brown crust.
