I'm going to answer this in point form for you.\n\nFood:\n1)Trail Mix - peanuts, raisins/cranberries, smarties, almonds, caramel popcorn...and anything else you think is good. Make up a couple bags of it. It's great for snacks and energy.\n2)I like to bring hard-boiled eggs, and pre-cooked bacon for breakfast.\n3)Pepperettes and Cheese, lunch\n4)Fruit-to-Go's. They taste great and are good for you.\n5)Crystal Light - Turns water into yummy juice\n6)Sidekicks - Easy to cook in pot on fire (get ones that only need water and butter - milk isn't for camping)\n7)Beef Jerky\n8)Meal replacement bars\n8)Catch a Fish and fillet it.\n9)Frozen meat, ie. steak, pork chops, sausages, will only stay good for one or two nights max. Keep them in a soft cooler and out of the sun. You can cook these up on a grill over the fire. Bring Mrs Dash - Good if you catch a fish too.\nIf you are on a campsite, and won't need to carry everything, it'll be easier. If you're planning on a hike, you might want to follow some of my listed foods above.\n\nGear:\n1)Tent with Fly. Tarp if rain is forcasted, for inside of tent, line it with tarp, corners up toward ceiling.\n2)Thermarests and sleeping bags. Try to get the lightest stuff possible. Keep them DRY.\n3)Small cookstove - a saviour in the rain, or for quick cook-ups. I prefer the ones that use naptha/camp fuel, to propane. Lasts longer and uses less room in my pack.\n4)Water Purifier - So much better to pump your own water than to carry around gallons of it.  Nalgene containers are the best for all your liquid stuff. Some people break their eggs in advance, put them in a nalgene, and then pour them out into the frying pan.\n5)Headlamp - a hands free headlamp is a must for camping! I can't live without mine.\n6)First Aid Kit. Be prepared. Bad things do happen. A huge tree fell a few feet from my tent last year. I was lucky!\n7)A whitle. A loud one. Scares away animals and attracts people if you need help.\n8)A Knife. I couldn't go camping without my lockblade. Also bring thin rope or string. Always handy.\n9)Bug Spray!\n10)Light materialed, baggy clothing is best for summer camping. Bugs have a hard time biting through it cause they're baggy, they dry out fast if they get wet, and they're cool. The zip on/off short/pant deals work best. Light coloured clothing attracts less bugs. Comfy socks and shoes are important too.\n11)Fishing pole and lures. What's camping without fishing?\n\nI could probably go on, but you're probably wondering when I'm going to shut up, lol. Hope this helps!\n\nHappy Trails!

Sounds like you already have some fantastic ideas!  I personally like the soda can and chocolate bar method.  I have to admit, I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it.  Now, I look forward to trying it.\n\nDon't forget flint.  That's an effective and popular method.\nYou don't necessarily need the 9-Volt battery with steel wool, I've seen it done with flashlight batteries.\nYou can still do the condom and water, just use a clear balloon (if you can find one).\n\nI'd stay away from chemicals for that age group.\n\nHere are some links for you to take a look at...\n\nhttp://www.onagocag.com/fire.html\nhttp://members.cox.net/bsatroop218/skills/nomatch/nomatch.html\nhttp://www.christianhomekeeper.com/fire.html\nhttp://www.fieldandstream.com/fieldstream/outdoorskills/article/0,13199,1149562,00.html\nhttp://www.alpharubicon.com/primitive/firewithout.htm\nhttp://www.bizarrelabs.com/firebow.htm

When you go camping it is often traditional to have roasted marshmallows. There is a knack to roasting them over a campfire though. First of all, you have to find a long stick or long-handled fork with which to spear the marshmallow, but if you are using a stick you have to be sure it is clean and not from any dangerous plants. If in doubt don't use it, it isn't worth it. Take care if using a metal fork though, as the heat can travel and cause the implement to become quite hot. \nYou can roast a couple at a time by pressing them onto the end of the stick or fork. You should aim the bottom marshmallow towards the heat source and hold it about 3 inches above. When it begins to turn a golden brown colour on the side facing the heat, you should turn the stick or fork so that the heat is spread evenly and allowed to cook the whole marshmallow. When it is golden brown all the way round, take it away from the fire and slide it off when it is cool enough - be very careful when you do this as it does get very hot. \nTake care not to overcook the marshmallow or else it will melt completely and fall into the fire. If you want it very burnt, let it catch the flame for a few seconds then remove it from the fire, blow it out and it should have turned a much darker colour than normal.

as anyone who was in the Boy Scouts can tell you, there are many ways to produce fire without a flame. The ol rubbing two stciks together works but it does take a while. The very basics you need to make fire is a heat source ( friction ), tinder (dry grass or leaves ), or a spark from flint on steel.

using steam and a turbine are only practical for a large application, please dont try to make pressurized steam on a campfire, try to find a small refrigerator unit from a camper trailer  that runs on propane, it would be possible to use campfire heat instead of propane to power the refrig unit, but only a small flame is needed, about the size of the average pilot light flame, or just throw some ice in and add a little sea salt, the salt melts the ice faster and absorbs the sensible and latent heat in the ice causing a colder cooler, same principal for making homemade hand turned ice cream.

How about a turkey breast? Stove top stuffing, mashed potato and bottled gravy (or canned). Jello with miniature marshmallows, green bean casserole and a really good bottle of wine. Get a bake it at home frozen pumpkin pie for later though you'll need to bake it the night before. A can of whipped cream and don't worry about stuff!!

This is really easy but you will can also copy and save it. \n\nPigs in a blanket for like 5 dollars.  good appetizers. \n\nwhat you will need:\nGet the "little smokies sausage links"  ( they have them in beef  most likely in the breakfast meat section).  Couple of cans of "Pillsbury biscuits".    cookie sheet.  Set the oven to like 325. \n\nThe smokie are precooked. (48 links comes in a pack).   You will have to check the count of the biscuit and buy enough.  Open the can of biscuits and wrap them around the smokies.   Place on the cookie sheet and follow the baking instructions on the biscuit can.   You can add pieces of cheese for variety. \n\nThe prep time is like 10 minutes or less and baking is like 15 minutes.  Really easy.  The biscuit tends to burn on the bottom depending on your pan and stove.  So you will have to do a test run.  I don't use the exact temp that is listed on the biscuit can, I reduce the heat level since I have a gas stove and that works well.  I get the buttered biscuit type so I don't grease the cookie sheet.  They usually come out golden brown.   Just test it out oneday before you actually need to make them. \n\nTips:  \n1 - Sometimes I boil the links first (if i have time) to reduce the fat.\n2 -   You can get fancy serving trays from the party store and dress them up really pretty.

For car camping, I love my Pyromid. http://www.pyromid.net/ It can use charcoal, sterno, wood, etc or it can be set on top of a camp stove or BBQ grill. It is solid stainless steel. It folds up into a package about 12" x 12" x 1". (There are larger and smaller models too.) I can use it for grilling steaks, griddling pancakes, even baking a whole (small) chicken and a pan of biscuits.\n\nFor advice on a backpackers' stove, call REI.
