2 teaspoons brown sugar
¼ cup freeze-dried banana, broken up

VARIATIONS:
Try the same thing with freeze dried strawberries or raspberries.
Substitute freshly picked (on the trail) berries for the bananas.

Many of those camping recipes look pretty good. My kids were up visiting this week from Dallas and we were talking about camping, with the cool weather and all. We usually camped on our vacations, but didn’t really take one this year.
I think people who have camped as a fun thing in life will be better equipped to handle hard times and doing without when things get bad. Those who haven’t experienced it will be in shock and less able to cope without all the electronics, games, microwaves, etc.
