The National Museum of Forest Service History presents a charming cookbook that celebrates decades of camp cooking by countless Forest Service agents in the field. Featuring legendary recipes for Dutch oven meals, open-fire dishes, and other tasty outdoor specialties used daily in the early days of the Forest Service, Camp Cooking has dozens of recipes, photos, and anecdotes that tell the whole history of these brave and hardy individuals. Dedicated ranger's wives prepared meals with limited resources as they accompanied their husbands in the field, often supplementing cooking with k-rations cooked over an open fire. In rustic and remote locations, delicious, time-tested creations were prepared and served, including Dutch Oven Beer Bread, Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, Pioneer Night Stew, and Creamy Pumpkin Pie. To pay tribute to decades of dedication of Forest Service employees, the Intermountain Region and the National Museum of Forest Service History () are proud to present this collectible cookbook.

Wonderful outdoor cookbook filled with lots of memories.
This book has a lot of recipes all using your cast iron cookware over an open fire. But cast iron is not the only method, lots of aluminum foil pouch meals. Cast iron is my own personal favorite way of outdoor grilling. The book opens with a nice into on the Forestry Service, and goes into detail on cooking with cast iron for folks not familiar with the how-to. Well worth a review.
There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between and on either side.
I really liked the photos and the historical anecdotes included through the book.
These recipes are just as relevant today and certainly give a lot of ideas. A fun read, it reminds me a lot of camping with my parents in my younger days. I purchased the Kindle version, the photo quality was excellent, not those tiny grainy thumbnails.

Loved the excerpts from the old forest service workers and the recipes looked tasty. Unfortunately there were a lot of repeat or similar recipes.
