Club Meeeting

Thanks to everyone that came to the first meeting. We had a great time and made some new friends. Sorry for the confusion with the grid coordinates. We will make the next one a little easier. We learned some pretty cool tips and tricks for starting a fire by friction.  For example, wrapping the spindle more than once with the cord helps keep it from flipping out, and a good starting length for your spindle is the length of your shin.  We had some delicious tin foil dinners, s'mores, and dutch oven pineapple upside down cake.  We also had a great time making new friends who love the outdoors.

Don't miss our next meetup!

We will try to meet in the same place. Big Springs trail head in the top parking lot.  We will try to get the first pavilion from the top (the one that we all ended up eating our dinners in). I will also have a banner this time. Our topic this next meeting will be TRAPS. So same thing applies, bring your foil dinner, flash light, Knife, water, and eating utensils.  Subscribe to this blog to keep up to date with future meetings and just in case we need to make any changes.

The meeting will be:

On 27 July 2012

From 1800-2100

Foil Dinner

OK so this is one of my favorite recipes for a foil dinner.

2 large potatoes cubed into small cubes. (Place in the middle of the foil)
1 stick of real butter cut into quarters. (Place in dinner so that it will melt all over the potatoes and the inside of the foil)
garlic salt about two teaspoons (Spread over the potatoes)
Dill about two Tablespoons (Spread over the potatoes)

Place it in the middle of some heavy foil with the shiny side facing up. Bring the long sides of the foil together and roll them down to the potatoes then fold the small sides like a present and roll them into the potatoes. Take another piece of foil and place the first one in the middle with the shiny side up and this time place the meal 90 degrees clock wise on the new foil. Roll the long sides together and fold and roll the short sides. If you did it right the dinner will be wrapped in foil so that the first layer is locked in by the second layer. This way the butter will not leak out. This will feed one to two people. Don't be afraid to add other things like vegetables and meets. You can cook all your favorites this way.                                                                   

This Saturday, the 9th of June, I will be at the Pioneer Village at North Park in Provo from 10:00 to 14:00 demonstrating Fire by Friction and Bow making. Come and meet us. Bring a friend.
