I don’t view Thanksgiving as a meal, rather a weekend of fun – be it at home or out camping. Short days, long nights and cold weather and lots of good eats! Need some inspiration for meals, from easy to gourmet? Thanksgiving On The Trail is a section on Trailcooking that I have worked on [...]

Salsa makes so much better taste wise (the ketchup of modern times?). If you can find packets of it great, but they are not so easy to come up with. The best I have found for convenience is the picante packets at McDonald’s. It is mild and spreads easily. If one asks nicely they may [...]
