What are your best tips for cooking at the campsite?

my best tip for cooking at the campsite is to let someone else do it!! actually i don't camp anymore . did it for to many years with kids. lots of kids. once we took 14 teenagers camping in the high sierras, just my husband and i. we must have been nuts. lol

if you use powdered dish soap, make a paste then coat the bottom of any pan with it that will be placed over a fire so as to get sooty.

the soap will maker it much easier to scrub off the soot to keep your pans nice and clean.

just be sure not to get any soap inside the pan as it can act as a laxative.
