Do it Yourself
Canoe Trip Recipes and Make it Yourself Projects
I respect people who can do things, be creative, and who are self reliant. I want to spread the transferable skills I have learned over the years to help people do things for themselves.
No Canoe expedition would get very far without good meal planning. Whether you are into dehydrating your own meal packets or are into more traditional canoeing foods, a good meal after a long day of paddling is just as important as a good paddle is when in the canoe. Bad food is OK on a weekend trip, but if you are going for any length of time good food is essential for good morale and high spirits. My recipes are pretty simple but tasty. As with all outdoor cooking, the environmental conditions, inconsistent fire temperatures and your cooking equipment, and cooking style, will all be a factor in meal preparation. As such, there is no point in giving cooking times, or measurements or telling you how to do what. Just mix things together, add water and fire and cook until done. Some of the best meals I have had, have come from trying to figure out ways to save a botched recipe. When in doubt with baked goods, add more flour. When in doubt with everything else, add more spice.
