Backcountry Breakfast
My favourite backcountry breakfast: 1/2 cup (or maybe a little bit
more) oatmeal
1/4 cup Carnation low fat powdered milk
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup mixed nuts (chopped walnuts &sliced almonds)
a dash of shelled sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon of brown sugar Mix ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and
pour contents into a baggy. When ready to eat breakfast all you have
to do is dump contents from the baggy into a pot and add 2 cups
boiling water. Let contents sit for two minutes, then serve. John H.

Beef Jerky Recipe
Slice lean boneless beef (such as brisket) into 1/8" strips,
trimming fat. Cut with the grain for chewy jerky or across the grain
for crumbly jerky. Lay strips on oven rack (use foil or pan
underneath to catch drippings). Salt to taste. Dry in oven at lowest
temperature (150 degrees), leaving door slightly ajar, for 8-12
hours. Turn several times for even drying. Taste test occasionally.
For more seasoned flavor, marinate cut meat overnight in the
following ingredients: Enough for 1-1/2 pounds of meat. 1 tsp. each -

Checken &Dumplings
Ingredients
2 envelopes Lipton's Cream of Chicken Cup-o-soup
1 can Swanson's Chunk Chicken Meat
1/2 package of mixed freeze-dried vegetables
1 cup Bisquick in a zip-lock bag
Water
Mix the soup, chicken meat and vegetables in a relatively
deep pot with 2 to 3 cups water. Place on camp stove. Heat to
simmering, stirring occasionally. While soup stuff is heating,
add water (see Bisquick box instructions for qty.) to Bisquick
and knead in the zip-lock bag. When soup stuff is hot, tear off a
corner of the bag and squeeze out plops of Bisquick into the pot.
Cover and cook for about 10 mintues on low heat.

Hearty Hash Browns
Take a box of frozen hash browns in a ziplock but ditch the box.
Take along enough alluminum foil to hold them. Use your fovorite
condiments on them and ball them up in the alluminum foil and
place in the fire where you can reach it with a stick. Check
every now and then to see if they are done. If you are somewhere
where they don't allow fires cook as you regurly do on a camping
stove.
