We will set out our outdoor cooking tips with what to bring. Remember that once you go out to camp you won't be able to go back simply if you forget something at home. Here's a convenient checklist to make sure you don't forget anything:

___ Heavy duty aluminum foil___ Zip-loc freezer bags in various sizes___ Disposable plates, bowls, cups, flatware___ Drinking cups___ Salt, pepper, sugar, spices___ Powdered milk, can of evaporated milk___ Coffee, filters, cocoa, tea bags___ Paper towels___ Trash bags___ Can and bottle opener, corkscrew___ Cutting board___ Metal cooking utensils like tongs, spatula, grill forks, serving spoons, knife, roasting sticks___ Measuring cups, spoons___ Serving bowls___ Plastic table cloth___ Storage containers for leftovers___ Pot or pan with lid, skillet___ Foil cooking tins___ Non-stick cooking spray, oil___ Pot holders and mitts___ Dish pan, dish soap, towels, sponge, scrub___ Strike anywhere matches___ Butane lighter___ Firestarters___ Barbecue grill, smoker___ Propane, charcoal___ Firewood (if needed)___ Grill top for campfire___ Dutch oven___ Crockpot___ Propane stove

It's important to leave the campsite unpolluted so always remember to bring an adequate number garbage bags. Bring biodegradable and environmentally-friendly cleaning agents. Leftover food should be thrown in containers and brought home. Clean up is as important as preparation.

Now you're ready to cook! The cooking method you decide on will determine the food you can bring or cook. Common camper favorites are:

• Barbequing or grilling burgers, hotdogs, chicken, ribs, steaks, fish, veggies, and even fruits.• A variation for grilling is using foil pouches. Place your seasoned meat, veggies, or fish in the foil, add a pat of butter or oil. Seal tightly and place on the grill. The pouch contents will keeptheir moisture and flavor.• Dutch oven. A Dutch oven is a deep cast iron or aluminum pot with a strong lid that doesn't allow steam to breakout, much like the tin foil method, making for a flavor-filled dish.• Crockpots. Cooking with the crockpot is nothing more than placing all your recipe ingredients in the pot and leaving it all to stew.• Box oven. Feel like a boy scout? Make an oven with a cardboard box, aluminum foil, and some metal rods. When done correctly, will let you bake almost anything.

Things to remember:

• Pre-chop, peel, or measure the needed ingredients for meals ahead of time and pack in zip-loc bags. Label them correctly.• Pre-cook meats• Block ice will last long than cubed ice.• All items in coolers should be packed in watertight containers.• Don't light fires near tents or other flammable objects.• Empty zip-loc bags can double as garbage bags.• Clean up after every meal.
