Default Survival Campout this weekend

Two main rules:

1. no tents
2. don't bring any food (food is provided by me)

It's not hard-core, but the boys enjoy it.

The boys said that cooking utensils are not allowed either.

I will be bringing:
2 rabbits
1lb frog legs
6lb whole smelt
bag of potatoes
ears of corn

I hope they have fun.

I loved these when I was a scout. I hated them when I was a leader. I guess I've gotten soft.

I like your food list. Too many times the menu for these things is a can of Dinty Moore.

ok. the kids cooked one rabbit, most of the frog legs, and a few fish (had to bribe them on the fish).

The lesson I learned is that the kids can refuse to eat.

My grandpa used to cook us frog legs growing up they are not bad, taste a lot like chicken.

So, of the three choices, they found the fish to be the least appealing?

So the years roll by. Tonight's survival campout, on the menu:

dinner: one whole fresh not-frozen duck
breakfast: 6 quail

That's it. Sounds gourmet to me. Spoiled kids.
