I just aged out of the Sc/out/ing after getting my Eagle and I’m ready to start planning my own trips. In my troop we mostly car camped because we had to keep things at the level that young kids can handle. As a result we always brought along a portable kitchen with stoves, pantries, storage etc because we had the luxury of motor transportation. It’s great and all to teach kids how to cook and work together but I’ve become tired of dinner taking four hours to cook/clean up and I’m on my own now. I’m looking for simple fast recipes and methods of cooking that are leave no trace. A backpacking stove should work but I don’t know what brand and set up is best. I’ve got a $50 dollar gift card to Dick’s so which of the following do you recommend from experience /out/? Thanks in advance.
