“In the state of society in which we now find ourselves, it is difficult to imagine a nation which lived solely on bread and vegetables.” – Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) About 10 years ago was the last time I ate food in France. As much as people make a big deal out of French cooking & techniques, I thought I’d …
“He unwrapped it gently, revealing a carefully wrapped scone” – Quoted from “Manly Hero” by Adrastus Rood One of my favorite camping foods is the scone. Maybe it is because I get to use fun cooking implements. Maybe it is because the scone takes a lot of work and love to be successful. Since we’re currently …
I am fascinated with the idea of cooking simple gourmet meals while camping. On the Camp-cook.com forum a member (jeepdad) posted his recipe for Fettuccini with Sweet Peppers and Pine Nuts with Fried Mozzarella Cheese.

“Anyone who knows me or has camped in my general area knows how much I like both an Off Road Teardrop Trailer Camper and Camp Coffee in a good enamel mug. There’s just something about a cold morning, the smell of breakfast warming up on a cast iron pan, and fresh camp coffee in my own mug. Yes, I’m one of those one-mug-only people. I have one mug. That’s the mug that I use for everything.
When designing this teardrop trailer enamel mug, I wanted it to show my camping experiences as reflected in the trees and mountains. I also wanted an off road teardrop trailer with squared-off fenders and a galley configuration that matches my trailers and teardrop trailer kits. I poured through the Overland Trailer Adventure blog and jotted down little details that I felt would accurately represent my camping experiences with Overland Teardrop Trailer. Then I sifted through 14 years of customer photos and put some of those ideas in this as well (where the fire is placed for instance – Thanks Pat!).
Ultimately, my deepest desire is that your new off-road teardrop trailer mug, already made from numerous camping memories of many people, will be with you as you make more great camping adventures of your own.”
– Mark Janke (Owner of Overland Trailer)

It’s the season for creepy camping stories. There is nothing like a classic spooky story shared by friends and family around a campfire. Creepy Camping Story #1: Beetles from Above “I went camping with my husband and our two kids. At night we sat at the picnic table playing cards, and beetles of all …
Cowboy Camp Cookin’ is one of my favorite topics. I’m not a country music fan, know how to ride a horse, wear chaps, or know anything about tending cattle. My interest derives from camping and recreational vehicles. Long time readers of this blog will also recall my affection for cast iron and camp cookin’ …
“Too few people understand a really good sandwich.” – James Beard OK OK, I’ll admit. This isn’t a very camp friendly recipe without some pre-planning. However, with proper planning, this little Panini could make you the star of any camping trip. One sandwich is a meal. It has taken me quite a long time …
“Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.” -Jack Handey The camping season has come to a close for us. it is a sad time. We spend time inside, close to each other for warmth of body …
As snow falls outside my window and the temperature drops into the single digets, I realize that the camping season for the jPod has come to a close until spring. It was a great season of camping. The jPod put on over 4,000 miles & camped in over 12 states in the US. Senior Management …
