The Civilized Explorer

Camping Recipes

We have looked unsuccessfully for a book or website that provides recipes that work easily out in the desert. So we've put together this assortment of recipes that we've scrounged up over time. These recipes will also work well after natural disasters like earthquakes, so we rotate through our earthquake supplies as we go on camping trips.
