Over the course of my Boy Scout experiences and subsequent wilderness trips, I have found that campfire cooking can really be quite exceptional. Following are a few great ideas, and some tips for cooking on a camping trip that are simple and very satisfying.
I usually hike Little Haystack once a year in early January with a buddy of mine. This year it took us 5 hours up and two down. It was a little harder than last year, and that much more exhilarating. It was snowing most of the hike, and conditions got a little crazy on the summit. Snowshoe tracks were relatively well defined.
This overnight was really pretty cool. We hiked up Mount Chocorua on Saturday and camped out in the Jim Liberty cabin just below the summit. It was crazy cold and really windy up there… EVEN INSIDE THE CABIN!!!! We got up on Sunday, tried to make the summit, but had to turn back unsuccessfully! It was too dangerous.
