Before going on their first camping trip, young Scouts practice building fires by constructing their own (edible) campfires from candy and pretzels. Step one, according to the Girl Scouts, is practice. “It’s really a fun hands-on workshop, whether you’re seven years old, or you’re 57 years old, because everybody likes to make food, and everybody likes to eat good stuff.”Ĭampfire cooking may seem daunting to the inexperienced, but it helps if you break it down into steps.

Clearly, if we wanted dinner, we’d have to switch gears.
