Since I have been on multiple river trips, I can see this book is like a "How To" create impressive meals on the river (like you are a guide cooking for paying guests) and a lot of river etiquette which can be helpful if you don't know it but really does not relate to dutch ovens.

I like my camp cooking SIMPLE and this is not a simple recipe book. There are few recipes that use only the dutch oven and do not relate to multiple other steps.

Interesting but I will pass.

Updated and improved, this edition is the bible for campfire cooking. It covers essential techniques for managing coals, wind, and temperature outdoors. The recipes are rugged and hearty, designed to feed hungry campers after a long hike. I appreciated the new additions focusing on vegetarian options and desserts like dutch oven pies. It’s practical, adventurous, and essential gear for any outdoor enthusiast. Better than the first edition!

Lots of good bread recipes I want to try. I wish I could find a book though that didn't have so many meat recipes. Hmmm, (lathering on the lotion, my hands are rubbing together deviously deliciously..) I feel another book idea coming on.stop.the.presses.

Nothing beats a meal cooked in a dutch oven -- this book has some great recipes -- I have only tried a few so far but they were delicious....
