My short answer would be cheese, raisins and hardtac; with more thought I'd add dried fruits and veggies. Dried tomatoes are dynamite for taste, drying concentrates the flavor. Dried squash lets you eat it at your pace rather than the plant's. I originally dried tomatoes and squash for soups, but they never make it that far as they are so good by themselves. I dry my own veggies and fruit so it turns out way better than the store-bought stuff. I don't add chemicals and I dry it until it is very very dry...in the case of tomatoes, even crispy. If you don't dry it that much, they recommend you "keep it in the fridge and check for mold occasionally! I have some dried apricots/peaches that have lasted years in a drawer with no sign of mold, and they are still good, except even dryer (crunchy, even). Dried and/or smoked fish are good, if you have them. Good luck, and I'm interested in reading what others add.

And, since I do troop and stomp around up here in the "great whitye north" I've suffered through some really "cold camps"; consequequently, My partners have been forced to eat many meals "Sans feu". some of the fare consists of the following: Pemmican (watch the cholesterol!) Wild rice (soak one hand full in your cup over night and you'll have a relatively tasty breakfast (a little maple or raw sugar helps out the taste.) Parched corn, which can be eaten by the the hands full, or ground for a quasi-meal and mixed into mush I can't say anough about the sausage and hardtack, a little of that goes a long way. One last thing, If you're not in for a long haul trek, how about a portable brazier? Goosebay workshop makes an accurate little brazier that might satisifty the "no open flame" rule in sme places, execpt in California where even charcoal seems to be outlawed. hope this helps, regards.

I had an instant chocolate milk packet...the kind you just add hot water for a swell in-from-the-cold beverage. I didn't have a cup, but I had a spoon. I tore open the top of the choc.milk package, dumped in some of that g.i. instant (powdered) coffee and mixed it up inside the foil packet that contained the chocolat mix. The package was then pretty crowded, so I could only add a little water from my canteen, which turned it into a powdery syrup. Ate it with a spoon. Been hooked on chocolate coffee ever since. I do know that the instant chocolate and foil package probably are not period correct. But if you want, you can come up with various mixtures for a good beverage at home in your spare time. sparks - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 18:59:12 -0700 From: JW Stephens Subject: Re: MtMan-List: cold camp menu One thing that works great for me as long as it's just cold, not cold and dry, is to take some dried fruit and nuts and (the grain of your choice goes here) and soak 'em in cup or pot overnight. The dried fruit gets re-constituted; the nuts, if they are raw, will try to sprout; and the grain "slow cooks." Heat it up with your magnifying glass, and presto. Save your sweetener for something that needs it. This method doesn't work so good for "cooking" pasta. Trust me on this one.

Usually when there is a fire ban, the only type of stove, etc... allowed is one with a shut off valve. Therefore, charcoal, etc... is also banned. Oh yeah...welcome to the list, nice to meet you.

It's the ash and coals. The fire agencies don't want any fire that leaves an ash that might contain a live coal and such will remain live in ashes for more than a day or so. Leading cause of garage fires. Fire place ashes in paper grocery bags taken into the garage for later disposal. Almost guaranteed a garage fire by morning! We can use gas fired stoves and I suppose candles but no, no charchoal and no wood fires. But being a primitive group we don't care to use the gas stoves if possible. YMOS Capt.
