Camp Cooking 100 Years
The National Museum of Forest Service History presents a charming cookbook that celebrates decades of camp cooking by countless Forest Service agents in the field. Featuring legendary recipes for Dutch oven meals, open-fire dishes, and other tasty outdoor specialties used daily in the early days of the Forest Service, Camp Cooking has dozens of recipes, photos, and anecdotes that tell the whole history of these brave and hardy individuals.
Dedicated ranger’s wives prepared meals with limited resources as they accompanied their husbands in the field, often supplementing cooking with k-rations cooked over an open fire. In rustic and remote locations, delicious, time-tested creations were prepared and served, including Dutch Oven Beer Bread, Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, Pioneer Night Stew, and Creamy Pumpkin Pie.
To pay tribute to decades of dedication of Forest Service employees, the Intermountain Region and the National Museum of Forest Service History are proud to present this collectible cookbook.

4 Stars camp cooking with Iron dutch oven
A lot of easy to follow instructions. Can be used with a regular oven.
I am using it with my wood stove.
3 Stars Camp Cooking: 100 Years
I bought this Dutch Oven cookbook, along with 101 Things To Do With A Dutch Oven and Cee-Dub’s Dutch Oven and Camp Cookin’, for my father-in-law for Christmas. The three were sold together for a savings. My father-in-law is really enjoying them. He makes new recipes and is always excited to share them with us. I personally liked the 101 Things To Do With A Dutch Oven best, but he seems to enjoy reading the trivia in this one and the other one.
5 Stars Just what I was looking for
I ordered 4 different camp cook books and this one I like the best. Recipes seem easy enough for camping from the Campers Omelette to Enchilada Pie, and lots of desserts. Even a recipe for backpacking bars in the back of the book that look like they would be a hit. A little history through out the book interesting pictures. Great Camp Book. Wish I had bought this one first.
5 Stars camp cooking, 100 years
This is a great Book. I can not say CookBook because it is so much more. It contains stories of hardtimes and greattimes, of good food and friends. The recipes are good too ! And best of all it’s at a great price so you can see why I think it’s a GREAT Book !!!
5 Stars History buffs!
Not what I was expecting. There are some great recipes, but the real appeal of this book is the history. The photos and stories alone make it worth the price. Warning! If you aren’t cooking for a large group you’ll have to scale down a lot of the recipes.
