The camping life : inspiration and ideas for endless adventures

The camping life : inspiration and ideas for endless adventures

Leonard, Brendan.
2020

"From roughing it in the Mojave Desert without a tent to glamping in a cozy cabin in the Adirondacks, camping for pleasure is undeniably more popular than ever before. And all the while, the definition of camping is being refined and expanded to include a plethora of experiences. Because as we saw with Artisan's The Campout Cookbook, people want more from their camping experiences-including good meals, a comfy sleeping experience, and some epic sunsets to document on Instagram. The Camping Way captures the feeling and aesthetic of sleeping under the stars and peels back the curtain to show readers how it's all done-from camping while suspended on a mountainside to camping while on a kayak or bike trip. Each type of adventure is told through photography showing beautiful vistas, campsites and setups, close-up explanatory vignettes, and informative text. Essays and illuminating deep captions truly capture the camping experience. Additional text includes recommended locations for each type of experience and for all budgets, and how-to skills to show readers how to pack, carry, cook, and leave no trace like an expert camper. The Camping Way is for both armchair campers and those ready to rough it, and shows that there are many ways to explore the outdoors"-- Provided by publisher.

Road trip cooking : the best recipes for your campfire, stove or barbecue

Road trip cooking : the best recipes for your campfire, stove or barbecue

Van Elst, Arno, author
2020

Road trips are the ultimate freedom: long roads, beautiful vistas, good conversations and singing along with the radio. And when you choose to stop somewhere out in nature, you'll want something tasty and nutritious to cook on your camping stove, campfire or portable barbecue. In Road Trip Cooking, Arno and Mireille of the Holy Kauw Company in the Netherlands take you along in their campervan. Their motto is simple: cooking and eating well is possible anytime, anywhere. All recipes in Road Trip Cooking are simple to prepare, and don't require a well-equipped kitchen or well-stocked supermarket nearby. From the ultimate hangover breakfast and salad in a jar, to campfire nachos and 'apple pie to go', these recipes make the most of classic and comfort-food dishes from around the world. Yet they only require some wood blocks, a few ingredients and a box of matches to prepare. Also included is information on outdoor cooking techniques and recommended road-trip life hacks. Arno and Mireille hope their book will make outdoor cooking even more fun than it already is. Let the journey begin!
