Sticks and Stones Camp Cooking

[pab1]

Cooking a whole side of moose ribs over a willow fire. They fed 4 of us for a couple days.
Kobuk river, Alaska '98 or 99. The fishing was great, too. Big grayling, 18" or so, sheefish, pike, and arctic char. We didn't hurt for grub!

Sounds like an amazing trip!

Looks great except for maybe the hare. I cooked one over a fire once and it was tough as a boot. But, it was food.

Was wondering about that too. I used to raise rabbits. The older ones needed slow and moist cooking for stews so they could be eaten. Only those under 4 1/2 lbs. were considered fryers.
But, it all looks delicious.

Really interesting stuff! Thanks.
Closest thing we tried was frying an egg in a freshwater mussel shell with a glob of butter. Once.

That looks like some good grub.

On this outing only part of the meal was cooked on a stick. I cooked deer meat on a forked willow stick, bannock bread on a cast iron skillet along with potatoes and carrots in foil.

Years ago I took a couple squirrels with my .32 cal Crockett. I only took a pic of one of them.

I cooked them over a fire for lunch. I got careless for a minute and let them get a little crispy on one end.
