The OAWV boys cook a little different on trail, using centuries old recipes and techniques. Here are a few links to get you started on your own trail cooking:

Bannock/Top Bread Recipes

-Bannock (a Scottish term) or Top Bread is a form of quick bread that can be a delicious addition to any meal in the wilderness. This bread is most easily prepared on a skillet, mix in a washable bucket or pot, and cooked on open fire using a grate. A self-rising biscuit flour is the quickest way to make bannock, adding lard and salt prior to water.

Open Fire Popcorn Popping

Popping Instructions:
  • Add 3 tablespoons of oil and 1/3 cup of popcorn to the popper and close lid.
  • Hold popper over flame in your fireplace, grill or campfire and shake popper from front to back.
  • Total popping should complete in approximately 2 - 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat when popping starts to slow or stop and pour into bowl immediately. Add butter and salt to taste.
Hudson Bay Bread 
Ingredients:
3/4 lb. softened butter
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup light Karo syrup
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp maple flavoring
3/4 cup ground nuts (walnuts)
9 cups Quaker 1-minute oats
Instructions:
You may want to grind up the oats in a blender or food processor.

Cream together all the ingredients except the nuts and oats, in a large mixing bowl.
Once it is all blended, stir in the oats and nuts. Make sure it is well mixed.

Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch high lip. Press the mixture down and pack it in until it fills the pan and is a smidge less than 1/2 inch thick. You'll probably need a second sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and press down with a spatula to prevent crumbling when it cools. (If you bake it too long, it gets hard and crunchy like a granola bar.)
While it is still warm, cut into 3 inch squares.

This is often eaten for lunch while canoeing. Globs of peanut butter and/or jelly are loaded on top and then eaten. It is a high-energy food that is great when you are burning lots of calories outside.
