“From Our Camp to Yours” is a newsletter from our online camping gear store that will have updated news about products, pricing, manufacturers and other items of interest including a camping recipe.

Newsletter Update: 

 First of all we would like to thank all of our customers for a successful year; we couldn’t have had such a great year without you. We have been able to interact with many of our customers through email, we love getting to know you and helping you find the right gear is so much fun for us.

We have been asked by several customers why the shipping costs are higher. Unfortunately we don’t have control over this; the higher the gas prices go the more it affects our shipping prices. Just like it affects how much we pay for groceries. Gas prices affect everything. Right now we are offering free shipping for orders 249.99 or more. There are exceptions to some larger orders you can contact us at customerservice@insidethecamp.com if you have questions regarding larger orders.

 What’s New

We have some exciting news! We have picked up some new manufacturers this year like Slumberjack, Big Agnes, Kamp-Rite, Frogg Toggs, Goal Zero and will be adding more later in the year. If you don’t see a lot of products under one or more of these manufacturers keep checking back, we will be adding more products as they become available to us.

This is a great recipe for the lovers of dutch oven cooking. Indian fry bread has been around for a long, long time. It is very tasty, enjoy!

Dutch Oven Hopi Indian Fry Bread

Dutch oven cooking: (Not exactly a low fat desert) In camp ignite about 15-20 charcoal briquets and arrange in a pile in your fire pan. Let burn until they are covered with ash (about 20 minutes) and put on the oil.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1 tbs. baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup lukewarm water

Directions:

Stir and knead dough on floured board – cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Cut up into 8 sections – flatten out to 2 inches thick. Melt crisco or comparable vegetable oil in a dutch oven so there is about 2 inches depth of oil. Then drop sections of dough into the hot oil to fry about 2 minutes or until done. It’s like cooking donut holes. Roll in cinnamon and sugar and pig out.

Foil cooking while you are camping is an easy and great way to make meals. This recipe for cooking a whole turkey is bound to be a favorite.

Whole Turkey on the Open Fire!

Ingredients:
1 whole turkey (any size, I usually do about a 10 lb bird)
Heavy duty aluminum foil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
salt and pepper
butter

Directions:

Clean out bird thoroughly, remove organ meat and neck from inside cavity, wash and set aside.
Roll out aluminum foil long enough to close around bird with a few extra inches
Roll out 2 to 3 sheets the same length and seam together, side by side (not lengthwise)
Place turkey on foil and curl up edges of foil.
Salt and pepper inside cavity
Cut small slits in skin of bird and place small amounts of butter under skin in multiple places
Pour soy sauce and honey over bird
add garlic, organ meats and neck to tinfoil package
Close up and seal all sides (leave top loose so you can open and baste.
Place on hot, low campfire grill.
Baste occasionally, every hour or so until done.
Test for doneness (varies due to bird size and heat)
It will never dry out so I just keep it on for hours, turkey falls off the bone!
To test if done … slice into turkey to the breastbone, as long as it’s not pink, it’s done.

Enjoy!
