Ain't nothin' nice about split skins y0

Helpful hints on what to do when one is camping in the "new" fabulous national parks. I've saved you from the immense amount of recipes including powdered milk and various dried fruits and vegetables. (Including the tips on how to clean freshly killed game.)

--------------
To Cook on a Rock-- Take two large clean, dry, flat stones, place one above the other with a few pebbles between to keep the stones apart, and build a fire around them. When they are well heated sweep away the ashes and place the slices of meat between the stones. (Milan and Smith)

"Hot Dogs"-- Put frankfurters into boiling water and let simmer for 5 minutes. Don't let them cook too rapidly or too long for their skins will split and they won't look so nice.
