some dummy left the pans at home

this is what happens when you forget to grab the camp box that has all the pans and cooking utensils. Luckily it was only a weekend trip. I did have some plastic forks, and of course beer. Upside, you have to drink a couple first. Downside, specially lined can doesn't mean non-stick

No tinfoil?

But they probably don't let you have campfires in Californiastan anymore, do they?

Tinfoil. Never leave home without it.
Even if you've already got a hat.

foil is in the box with the pans. what wasn't lining the windows, anyway

open fires depend on usfs's determination of fire danger. this particular trip was a no open flame weekend.

For some reason my camp stoves are stored on top of the tub with the camping pots and other camping kitchen gear. I wonder what prompted my doing that?

Check lists also help with keeping from forgetting stuff.

I had to store the tub O' pans on top of the stove. It turns out you can actually pick up the stove, see the tub O' pans and still leave home without them.


One of the best mistakes we had was when I left the grill at home. I sliced the round steak up into strips and we cooked it on sticks over the campfire. After that we always did round steak that way.

Most of the time I was close enough to a place that I could just get more pots, but one time... I had soup the first meal so I could use the can as a pot for future meals. I cooked eggs, and fried bacon in it the following morning. The next day I got wise and folded my stove's heavy weight aluminum foil wind shield into a fry pan.

the sad thing is that my stove box was on top of the box with the pans! just got in a hurry I have since reorganized so it wont happen again, stove and pans in same box

with just bottles, I would have just had to get full on beer

That's the camping spirit(s)!

Actually you can cook in a lot of things, even a paper bag.

Another trick is to wrap meats in bisquick, or a dough made of flour and water, or even clay and bake them in the fire.

Over the years my family has cooked on everything from "found grills" to dust pans.

Of course hunger and a six pack tends to enhance the flavor of almost any thing cooked almost anyway.
