Summary: Ideas galore to save money
Comment: I first read this book as a teenage boy scout. I had camped once a month for many years and had tried all kinds of tricks to save money when camping, make your own gear, fun outdoor recipes, etc. but this book had tons of new ideas I had never heard of. 20 years after the first edition of this book means the author has updated it to our times, but it still great. This has always been indespensable to me. It really has made camping more fun and I reccommend it to anyone that takes kids camping, but you don't have to have them to try this stuff.
Lots of delicious recipes and methods to cook, but other stuff on first aid and making your campsite comfortable in many ways is featured. Features many ways to build a fire, how to make firestarters to speed up your firestarting, make your own waterproof matches, make your own campstove.
She shows you how to make a meal in a hollowed orange (cake in an orange!)or onion nestled in the coals! Cook eggs on a flat rock, recipes to cook on sticks, in foil, etc. Lots of ideas for home made items that will save you time and money in the woods. A hot water tank that sits in the fire; an outdoor sink made in seconds with a shovel and garbage bag; how to keep your pans clean the easy way; packing lists; use a can for a rolling pin in a pich; how to make lanterns from cans. One of my favorits was the tiny stove you make out of a coffee can. How to make a reflector oven for the woods, and 3 more types of ovens. (how about a cardboard box for an oven, it works).
Other books published since have borrowed some ideas from this one, but they were here first. Pictures and sketches on nearly every page are very helpful. The writing style is fun and easy to read.

Summary: The author makes cooking out of doors fun!
Comment: I had my "book searcher" searching for this book for the longest time it seems. Then I received it and used some of the menus and enjoyed them so much I had to search for "Roughing it Easy 2". I am a Girl Scout trainer and this book has proved itself again and again for great ideas! Not only are the ideas realtively simple but the girls enjoy recipes that let you cook "in the dirt"! I recommend this to anybody who loves to cook in a camping setting and doesn't always want to be "tending the fire"!

Summary: A good purchase
Comment: This is a good purchase for families who are hesitant to go "all out" on camping.
It's a wonderful start for beginners, and a great source for scout leaders who want to expand their cooking/camping library.
