Re: Camp stoves for rugged use

We arrive at night and cooking is done during the day by the scouts as its required for various scout ranks (NO hotdogs allowed BTW) and there is a cooking merit badge which is typically lots of fun. One requirement I love is Plan a menu for two straight days (six meals) of camping. Include the following:
A camp dinner with soup; meat, fish, poultry, or an appropriate substitute; two fresh vegetables; drink; and dessert. All are to be properly prepared. When preparing your menu, follow the nutritional guidelines set by the food pyramid. (Cooked dessert by a scout what a wonderful thing to watch)

Most scouts have puzzled looks on that "nutritional" part, they hear things at school, but parents don't always practice them at home.
