  Soak the ears of corn in water first, corn stays juicer. I do them like that on the grill and on campfire.

  Spent a long weekend in a damp state park years ago. I slept on a surplus canvas cot, 2 surplus wool blankets, and a double-bed down quilt, which covered top and bottom. Toasty warm all night, and a friend asked would I please keep his glasses warm because he was almost as blind as I am, and his were frozen over. The cooking was done in my well-loved cast iron potbelly stove, weighing in at around 15 pounds. Forgot to grab the bag of charcoal, so it was pine cones, twigs, and brown leaves. Quite a bit of debris safely removed from possible future wildfire fuel. I like being a conservationist!

  You can also bake a spud in a can that didn't have the top completely removed.

  For better fire heat I will spread on the wooden wall emergency blankets because it&apos;s reflecting the heating

  I&apos;d like to try some of these purely out of curiosity. My grandparents all grew up in the depression years. It&apos;d be a nice way to remember them.

  Oh i dunno, i have had no issues with flame cooking, gives a good smoky flav. Downside is uneven cooking if left alone.

  A point to the the trick described at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PFHEOggGLQ&amp;t=1180">19:40</a>, DO NOT use rocks that are by a water source. Believe it or not they can explode when heated as they might be porous and be water logged. A lot of times they just Crack but have seen them literally explode.

  In Boy Scouts, we cooked all of these different ways. To keep things interesting. we would have a different cooking theme for each campout concentrating on these types of techniques. &nbsp;Over the years, I&apos;ve taught countless boys to cook using all these techniques and we all had fun doing it. &nbsp;I wonder if Scouts are still taught these things today. &nbsp;Bonus round: trying cooking an egg in a paper bag. It is amazing that it works. &nbsp;I&apos;m sure you could find instructions on You Tube somewhere. Enjoy
