Human ingenuity was at its finest during my recent two-week road trip out West, as I learned how to feed five people using minimal cooking utensils and while having little access to running water. I’m well aware that people have been camping, roughing it, and cooking in said conditions since time immemorial. This cook, however, had only ever roasted s’mores over an open flame, so her culinary skills were about to undergo quite the trial.
By the end of our trip, my co-chef and I had become quite adept at using both the butane stove and the campfire. We were also pros at cooking and cleaning up in the dark (on the numerous occasions we arrived at our campsite after sundown). It took some time, however, to get in the groove.
