Have fun camping Dr. & Mrs.!  There is nothing like the smell of bacon
and coffee cooking in the morning when you're camping in the
wilderness.  When I was growing up, my Dad ascribed to a different
philosophy than Kant and trained us differently.  When he would go on
geology field trips, the others would pull out their cans of franks
and beans and heat them over the fire.  Dad would have a complete set
of china, silverware, and wine glasses, and would serve up a perfectly
cooked steak and baked potatoes with a fine bottle of red wine.  While
I don't have any ultimate camping list that I use, I do eat well when
I camp.  Following the words of Immanuel Kan . . .  :^)  Not having as
much class as my father, I don't drink wine . . . but I usually have a
ready supply of good, cold beer.
