Camping!!!?

[tripperfunster]

Ahaha! Since we have a 'new' (1979) camper, we've decided to take the kids camping. *wibbles*

Now, I haven't been camping since I was in my early twenties, and 'camping' was a euphemism for 'drinking in the woods.' Back then, we brought a sleeping bag, a ghetto blaster, a tent and a whole bunch of beer. And probably food? I honestly don't recall.

In making my list of what I need to buy/pack/bring I'm flabbergasted at all the crap one needs while 'roughing it' in the wilds of canada. (and by roughing it, I mean there will be a shit-ton of other people around, electricity, a little corner store and flushing toilets.)

Aside from hot dogs and hamburgers, any good food ideas that can be made on a bbq and/or campfire?

And to top it off, I seem to have some sort of stomach bug that likens itself to dysentery. I guess I should bring lots and lots of toilet paper! :D

If you're looking for treats you can grab some oranges, scoop out the middles (and then eat them) and fill with chocolate cake mix (from a packet is fine, just remember to take a bowl and something to measure the liquid in) and cook on a bbq or wire mesh over a campfire, preferably when it's not too flaming. Cooking time will vary, just stick a knife or fork in to check it's cooked.

Or even easier you can slit down one side of a banana, cut the banana into chunks (make sure you don't cut all through the skin) and insert small pieces of chocolate. Wrap it up in foil and stick it in the embers of the fire for five-ten minutes and voila melty chocolaty banana goodness.

Most of the other things I know how to do are going to require cast iron pans or some sort of proper camping stove sadly. Or have already been mentioned.
