Something inside us calls us to the great outdoors, maybe it’s a leftover spirit from a time long ago, or the freedom of the openness that lifts our spirts and frees our minds. After spending our day to day lives trapped inside our houses, business, schools, and cars, record numbers of people are finding the enjoyment of spending free time playing and enjoying our planet without the boundaries of walls. This is where this book comes in, from the beginning of time man has enjoyed the company of his fellow man. Spending time with family and friends is a worldwide pastime that knows no social bounds. No matter how rich or how poor you are family and friends bring you enjoyment the same, they are the great equalizer. It is inevitable that whenever family and friends gather that food and drinks will be involved. These things, family, friend, food and drinks are the basis for most holidays. Try removing any of them from a holiday and it would not be the same. Thanksgiving dinner, a New Year toast, a 4th of July summer BBQ, family, friends, food, and drinks are a requirement! So I wrote this book with that spirt in mind. A collection of tips, trick, and recipes that I have compiled over the year. Some of these are stolen from other so I can’t take credit for all of this but I have put them together in this easy to read book. I am sure you will find something to make your next outing a great success. Whether you are thru hiking the Appalachian Trail, on a big game hunt in Idaho, climbing the Grand Tetons, backpacking in Yellowstone, fishing in Canada, canoeing the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, hiking to Half Dome at Yosemite, spending a weekend car camping at a KOA, a day at the beach, kayaking the mighty Colorado river, 4 wheeling in Moab, an afternoon at the park or a backyard Barbeque you are sure to find something of use in this collection. And if you must most of these recipes could be cooked indoors.
