NESSMUK’S CORNER AND CAMP FIRE 
Conducted by Old Camper for All Campers. 
LOGIC IN COOKING IN CAMP. 
O NE of the greatest snags that the camper 
has to contend with is the food proposi¬ 
tion, and this, to some, is really never 
overcome. A man may be ignorant of cooking, 
and may have no desires to cook, one way or 
another, but if he is going out away from civili¬ 
zation, camping out, he simply has to learn how 
to cook or suffer the consequences. And many 
do suffer. Some campers come back to civiliza¬ 
tion with a look of despair upon their faces writ 
in deep lines. The reason of this is that they 
- are suffering from their own cooking, too much 
grease and baking powder knocked them out, so 
to speak, and it will take months of scientific 
eating to again bring them up to the standard of 
physical trim. Where grease of any sort should 
be used in kind proportions they submerged 
themselves in it by eating stuff fried in or made 
in grease two-thirds of the time. And in camp¬ 
ing out one thing that is noted is that there is 
an abundance of burnt grease. Grease itself is 
• hard on the digestion, but burnt grease is ruina¬ 
tion personified. And any man who will eat 
anything that has a crust of pitch-black burn to 
it has very little thought or consideration for his 
stomach, and a man must have an iron constitu¬ 
tion indeed to handle it and make fine, rich, 
powerful blood out of it. Within civilization one 
should use care in his eating; away from civili¬ 
zation one should be doubly careful, and this is 
a rule to be marked down in large black letters. 
The rule is to escape the use of anything that 
is hard on the digestion. Never eat anything 
that is half baked—as, for instance, half baked 
bread. Never hurry your meals. Eat slowly, 
and carefully, and chew everything you eat well, 
and you will find that your digestion will be bet¬ 
ter and your outlook upon life will have more of 
a rosy tinge to it as a consequence. 
In our day any trip into the wilds is woefully 
incomplete without the judicious addition to your 
larder of the so-called dehydrated foods, or 
foods that have, by concentration, been pow¬ 
dered, the bulk withdrawn, and only the nourish¬ 
ing portions kept intact—the portions that con¬ 
tain entirely the worthy elements of food value. 
It is a well-known fact that most of our vege¬ 
tables can be had in this form, some of them to 
the extent that five pounds in powdered form is 
equal to fifteen pounds in the raw. Consume 
clean, ungreasy soups in camp—at least once 
a day. There are any number of edible leaves 
and greens also that you can fix up and add to 
these soups. The more greens you eat the better 
for the blood and the digestion. If you have ac¬ 
cess to dandelion greens make good meals of

Story and Double-Decker. 
these. Dandelion greens are powerfully helpful 
in cleansing the blood. This is only one sort of 
greens by the way. There are many others. 
Be sure and supply yourself well with con¬ 
densed or powdered foods of various sorts. You 
will find that the process has virtues without 
end, as I need hardly relate. 
On any camping trip flapjacks are a morning 
introduction not without good points—but I cer¬ 
tainly would not suggest flapjacks for every 
morning. Rather change off, and eat a variety
