The coals of your camp fire can bake up some tasty bread (if you have the secret ingredient to make your dough). When I started experimenting with camp breads years ago, I turned to old outdoor texts to find the recipes for bannock, damper, hard tack and every other kind of camp bread and trail biscuits you’ve heard about. The recipes themselves were simple enough: some flour here, some lard there, maybe some baking powder in more modern incarnations of this ancient, oven-free bread. But those simple ingredients didn’t leave much room for error, and usually yielded something closer to ceramics than biscuits. I finally stumbled upon the “only add water” complete pancake mix for camp bread, http://www.outdoorlife.com/survival-skills-3-ways-to-make-survival-bread-without-an-oven

Uhhh, . . . have you also started a chain of survival stores that will be open 6 days a week after TEOTWAWKI?

Gotta get that there pancake mix someplace, . . . you might be the new Kroger man of the deep woods.

May God bless,

You don't store pancake mix? Thought you were a biscuit man!

I use the "water only" pancake mix all of the time. I'm only making them for the Mrs & I and it's a big time saver, add water & shake, just be sure to loosen the cover now and then or it will explode on you. Now I'll have to add some to my BOB.
